One Interface strategy yielding strong results; Company increasing full fiscal year 2024 net sales guidance
Interface, Inc. (Nasdaq: TILE), a worldwide commercial flooring company and global leader in sustainability, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
First quarter highlights:
"We delivered a strong start to the year. First quarter net sales came in at the high end of our guidance with notable strength in the Americas business. Our One Interface strategy is yielding tangible results including reduced complexity, continuous improvement of pricing and mix management, and synergies from the globalization of our core functions. These improvements contributed to significant profitability expansion in the first quarter,” commented Laurel Hurd, CEO of Interface.
“We recently rolled out a fresh and exciting new brand attitude, Made for More™, which showcases the best of Interface and encompasses our belief that our flooring products are made with purpose and without compromise. We are excited about One Interface’s collaborative focus, and we remain committed to positioning Interface for long-term success and increasing value for our shareholders,” concluded Hurd.
“Our selling teams did a great job driving favorable mix and price, and we further benefited from input cost deflation, which drove significant gross profit margin expansion in the first quarter. Effective commercial execution also led to 5.1% order growth year-over-year resulting in strong momentum as we move into the second quarter,” added Bruce Hausmann, CFO of Interface.

Outlook
As Interface looks at 2024, while the macro environment remains dynamic, the Company continues to be encouraged by improving trends. Interface is increasing its full fiscal year net sales estimate and continues to expect a year-over-year increase in gross profit margins this fiscal year. A portion of the anticipated increase in net sales is expected to come from the retail segment, which generally has lower gross profit margins compared to Interface’s more premium product offerings. This sequential change in the Company’s anticipated overall product mix is reflected in the updated guidance below.
With that backdrop in mind, Interface has updated its full fiscal year 2024 guidance and is anticipating the following:
For the second quarter of 2024:

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin exclude nora purchase accounting amortization. Adjusted SG&A expenses exclude the cyber event impact and restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net.

Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, cyber event impact, property casualty loss impact, restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net, nora purchase accounting amortization, and the loss on foreign subsidiary liquidation. This news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, which explains why Interface believes presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors, as well as any additional material purposes for which Interface uses these non-GAAP measures.

The impacts of changes in foreign currency presented in the tables are calculated based on applying the prior year period's average foreign currency exchange rates to the current year period.
The Company believes that the above non-GAAP performance measures, which management uses in managing and evaluating the Company’s business, may provide users of the Company’s financial information with additional meaningful basis for comparing the Company’s current results and results in a prior period, as these measures reflect factors that are unique to one period relative to the comparable period. However, these non‑GAAP performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Tax effects identified above (when applicable) are calculated using the statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the charge or income occurred.
