Business Context and Reporting Period
Company: Interface, Inc. (TILE)
Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: November 1, 2024
Reporting Period: Third Quarter of 2024
This filing serves as a notification that the Company issued a press release reporting its financial results for the third quarter of 2024. The filing incorporates the Earnings Release and an updated investor slide presentation by reference but does not contain the specific numerical financial data within the text of the 8-K itself.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. It references the following metrics as being detailed in the attached Earnings Release (Exhibit 99.1):
- GAAP and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS)
- Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Operating Income (AOI)
- Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin
- Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
- Currency Neutral Sales and Growth
- Net Debt (Total debt less cash on hand)
- Adjusted EBITDA
Material Changes and Non-GAAP Adjustments
The Company utilizes Non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate comparison of operational performance. The filing details specific exclusions applied to these adjusted metrics:
- Adjusted EPS, Net Income, and AOI: Exclude nora purchase accounting amortization, cyber event impact, restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other net items. Adjusted EPS and Net Income further exclude property casualty loss impact, loss on foreign subsidiary liquidation, and loss on discontinuance of interest rate swaps.
- Adjusted Gross Profit: Excludes nora purchase accounting amortization.
- Adjusted SG&A: Excludes cyber event impact and restructuring/impairment/severance items.
- Adjusted EBITDA: Excludes interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, cyber event impact, property casualty loss, restructuring, nora amortization, and foreign subsidiary liquidation losses.
- Currency Neutral Sales: Excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Company states that presenting adjusted results helps investors understand historical operating trends by removing the effects of unique events (such as acquisitions, cyber events, and currency fluctuations). These measures are also used internally for performance evaluation, planning, and compensation programs.
Regulation FD Disclosure: Management updated an investor slide presentation (Exhibit 99.2) which may be used in meetings with investors. The filing explicitly states that the information in the Earnings Release and slide presentation is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing references specific negative events impacting the period, including a "cyber event," "property casualty loss," and "loss on foreign subsidiary liquidation," though specific financial impacts are not quantified in this document.
