Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the statements in this Form 10-Q, particularly those anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies, and similar matters, and those that include the words “could,” “should,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects” and “estimates” or similar expressions constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For those statements, Mohawk Industries, Inc. (the "Company") claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made; however, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties. The following important factors could cause future results to differ from historical experience and our present expectations or projections: changes in economic or industry conditions; competition; inflation and deflation in raw material prices, freight and other input costs; inflation and deflation in consumer markets; currency fluctuations; energy costs and supply; timing and level of capital expenditures; timing and implementation of price increases for the Company’s products; impairment charges; identification and consummation of acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all; integration of acquisitions; international operations; introduction of new products; rationalization of operations; tax and tax reform, product and other claims; litigation; geopolitical conflicts; regulatory and political changes in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business; and other risks identified in Mohawk’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports and public announcements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. General

Unless this Form 10-Q indicates otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Mohawk,” or “the Company” as used in this Form 10-Q refer to Mohawk Industries, Inc.

Interim Reporting

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, and the Company’s description of critical accounting policies, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Effective in Future Years

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands segment disclosures for public entities, including requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The new guidance also expands disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets in interim periods and clarifies that a public entity may report additional measures of segment profit if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The new guidance does not remove existing segment disclosure requirements or change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or determines its reportable segments. The guidance effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and subsequent interim periods with early adoption permitted, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. For public business entities, this standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

2. Acquisitions

2023 Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed the acquisitions of two ceramic tile businesses in Brazil and Mexico within Global Ceramic for $515.5 million. The Company’s acquisitions resulted in a goodwill allocation of $87.5 million. A portion of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisitions. These benefits include opportunities to improve the Company’s ceramic performance by leveraging best practices, operational expertise, product innovation and manufacturing assets across the segment. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price by major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

Table of Contents


(In millions)	Amounts Recognized as of the Acquisition Date
Working capital	$	95.3
Property, plant and equipment	333.5
Tradenames	38.5
Customer relationships	4.0
Goodwill	87.5
Long-term debt, including current portion	(26.0)
Deferred tax, net	(10.0)
	522.8
Less: cash acquired	(7.3)
Net consideration transferred (net of cash acquired)	$	515.5

During 2023, the Company recognized impairment losses on goodwill and tradenames. For the amounts recognized, please refer to Note 8, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in Part II, Item 8 in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K as well as Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in this Form 10-Q.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Contract Liabilities

The Company records contract liabilities when it receives payment prior to fulfilling a performance obligation. Contract liabilities related to revenues are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The revenues related to these performance obligations are expected to be recognized within a twelve-month period. The Company had contract liabilities of $67.5 million and $68.0 million as of September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Performance Obligations

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time when the product is either shipped or received from the Company’s facilities and control of the product is transferred to the customer. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in prior periods, and the amount of such revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was immaterial.

Costs to Obtain a Contract

The Company incurs certain incremental costs to obtain revenue contracts. These costs relate to marketing display structures and are capitalized when the amortization period is greater than one year, with the amount recorded in other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized costs to obtain contracts were $66.3 million and $66.7 million as of September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Straight-line amortization expense recognized during the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 related to these capitalized costs was $46.2 million and $45.7 million, respectively.

14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share assumes the vesting of RSUs using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. A reconciliation of net earnings (loss) attributable to Mohawk Industries, Inc. and weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is as follows:


	Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
(In millions, except per share data)	September 28, 2024		September 30, 2023	September 28, 2024	September 30, 2023
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Mohawk Industries, Inc.	$	162.0	(760.4)	424.5	(579.0)



Weighted-average common shares outstanding—basic and diluted:

Add dilutive potential common shares—RSUs(1)	0.3		—	0.3	—
Weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted	63.4		63.7	63.8	63.6

Earnings (loss) per share attributable to Mohawk Industries, Inc.
Basic	$	2.57	(11.94)	6.69	(9.10)
Diluted	$	2.55	(11.94)	6.66	(9.10)

(1) Due to the anti-dilutive effect, 252 and 235 shares of common stock equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, were omitted from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

15. Segment Reporting

The Company has three reporting segments: Global Ceramic, Flooring NA and Flooring ROW. Global Ceramic designs, manufactures, sources and markets a broad line of ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone, porcelain slabs, quartz countertops and other products, which it distributes primarily in North America, Europe and Latin America through its network of regional distribution centers and Company-operated service centers using Company-operated trucks, common carriers or rail transportation.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time in the regular course of its business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal matters. Except as noted below, there are no material legal proceedings pending or known by the Company to be contemplated to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

Perfluorinated Compounds (“PFCs”) Litigation

In December 2019, Jarrod Johnson filed a putative class action against certain manufacturers, suppliers, and users of chemicals containing certain perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in the Superior Court of Floyd County, Georgia purporting to represent all water subscribers with the Rome (Georgia) Water and Sewer Division and/or the Floyd County (Georgia) Water Department seeking to recover, among other things, damages in the form of alleged increased rates and surcharges incurred by ratepayers for the costs associated with eliminating certain PFCs from their drinking water, as well as injunctive relief. The defendants removed the class action to federal court. The Company has filed a motion for summary judgment and that motion is pending before the court.

In April 2023, Shelby County, Alabama and Talladega County, Alabama filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Talladega County, Alabama against certain manufacturers, suppliers, and users of chemicals containing certain PFCs, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief and claiming that their water supplies contain excessive amounts of PFCs. The Company moved to dismiss all claims, and the Court agreed to dismiss certain claims on September 9, 2024. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and continues to vigorously defend against claims relating to its prior use of certain PFCs in the carpet manufacturing process.

Securities Actions

The Company and certain of its present and former executive officers were named as defendants in certain investor actions, filed in the State Court of Fulton County of the State of Georgia on April 22, 2021 and April 23, 2021. The claims alleged include fraud, negligent misrepresentation, violations of the Georgia Securities Act, and violations of the Georgia Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations statute. Plaintiffs in the investor actions seek compensatory and punitive damages. On October 5, 2021, the investor actions were transferred by the State Court of Fulton County to the Metro Atlanta Business Case Division. On October 4, 2023, plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the remaining four investor actions. On April 12, 2024, the Company and the individual defendants filed motions for summary judgment in each investor action. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the claims in these actions.

The Company and certain of its executive officers and directors were named as defendants in certain derivative actions filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on May 18, 2020 and August 6, 2020, respectively (the “NDGA Derivative Actions”), in the Superior Court of Gordon County of the State of Georgia on March 3, 2021 and July 12, 2021, and in the Delaware Court of Chancery on March 10, 2022. The complaints allege that defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by causing the Company to issue materially false and misleading statements. On December 20, 2023, plaintiffs in the NDGA Derivative Actions filed an amended complaint. On February 9, 2024, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On June 28, 2024, the parties in the NDGA Derivative Actions informed the Court that they believed they had reached agreement on the structure of a settlement of the NDGA Derivative Actions. On October 1, 2024, the Court in the NDGA Derivative Actions directed the parties to either file a proposed motion for settlement agreement or other case status report on or before October 31, 2024. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

General

The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable. These contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and the Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, storage, treatment, recycling and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and finished product, and the cleanup of contamination associated therewith. Because of the nature of the Company’s business, the Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, costs relating to compliance with such laws and regulations. The Company is involved in various proceedings relating to environmental matters and is currently engaged in environmental investigation, remediation and post-closure care programs at certain sites. The Company has provided accruals for such activities that it has determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect that the ultimate liability with respect to such activities will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but acknowledges that it could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.

17. Debt

Senior Credit Facility

On August 12, 2022, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing senior revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Amendment, among other things, (i) extended the maturity of the Senior Credit Facility from October 18, 2024 to August 12, 2027, (ii) renewed the Company’s option to extend the maturity of the Senior Credit Facility up to two times for an additional one-year period each, (iii) increased the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio financial maintenance covenant from 3.00:1.00 to 3.50:1.00, (iv) eliminated certain covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, restrictions on dispositions, restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates, and the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant, and (v) increased the amount available under the Senior Credit Facility to $1,950.0 million until October 18, 2024, after which the amount available under the Senior Credit Facility will decrease to $1,485.0 million. The Amendment also permits the Company to increase the commitments under the Senior Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $600.0 million. On August 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Lender Joinder Agreement, which increased commitments under the Senior Credit Facility by an additional $100.0 million until August 12, 2027 and further amended the Senior Credit Facility to permit the Company to increase the commitments under the Senior Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $500.0 million.

At the Company’s election, U.S.-dollar denominated revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) SOFR (plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment) for 1, 3 or 6 month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.00% and 1.75% (1.13% as of September 28, 2024), or (b) the Base Rate (defined as the higher of the Wells Fargo Bank, National Association prime rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, or SOFR (plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment) for a 1 month period rate plus 1.0%), plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.00% and 0.75% (0.13% as of September 28, 2024). At the Company’s election, revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facility denominated in Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Hong Kong dollars or euros bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) the applicable benchmark for such currency plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.00% and 1.75% (1.13% as of September 28, 2024), or (b) the Base Rate plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.00% and 0.75% (0.13% as of September 28, 2024). The Company also pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments of the lenders exceed utilization of the Senior Credit Facility ranging from 0.09% to 0.20% per annum (0.11% as of September 28, 2024). The applicable margins and the commitment fee are determined based on whichever of the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio or its senior unsecured debt rating (or if not available, corporate family rating) results in the lower applicable margins and commitment fee (with applicable margins and the commitment fee increasing as that ratio increases or those ratings decline, as applicable). On October 28, 2021, the Company amended the Senior Credit Facility to replace LIBOR for euros with the EURIBOR benchmark rate.

The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of the Senior Credit Facility are unsecured.

The Senior Credit Facility includes certain affirmative and negative covenants that impose restrictions on the Company’s financial and business operations, including limitations on liens, subsidiary indebtedness, fundamental changes, future negative pledges, and changes in the nature of the Company’s business. The limitations contain customary exceptions or,

in certain cases, do not apply as long as the Company is in compliance with the financial ratio requirement and is not otherwise in default. As described above, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant was eliminated on August 12, 2022.

The Senior Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, subject to customary grace periods.

In 2022, the Company paid financing costs of $1.9 million in connection with the Amendment of its Senior Credit Facility. These costs were deferred and, along with previously unamortized costs of $2.7 million, are being amortized over the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

As of September 28, 2024, amounts utilized under the Senior Credit Facility included $22.3 million borrowings and $0.7 million of standby letters of credit related to various insurance contracts and foreign vendor commitments. Any outstanding borrowings under the Company’s U.S. and European commercial paper programs reduce the availability of the Senior Credit Facility. Including commercial paper borrowings, the Company has utilized $445.0 million under the Senior Credit Facility, resulting in a total of $1,605.0 million available as of September 28, 2024.

Commercial Paper

On February 28, 2014 and July 31, 2015, the Company established programs for the issuance of unsecured commercial paper in the United States and Eurozone capital markets, respectively. Commercial paper issued under the U.S. and European programs will have maturities ranging up to 397 and 183 days, respectively. None of the commercial paper notes may be voluntarily prepaid or redeemed by the Company and rank pari passu with the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. To the extent that the Company issues European commercial paper notes through a subsidiary of the Company, the notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

The Company uses its Senior Credit Facility as a liquidity backstop for its commercial paper programs. Accordingly, the total amount outstanding under the Company’s commercial paper programs may not exceed $2,050.0 million (less any amounts drawn on the Senior Credit Facility) at any time.

The proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes will be available for general corporate purposes. As of September 28, 2024, there was $249.0 million outstanding under the U.S. commercial paper program, and $173.0 million outstanding under the European program. The weighted-average interest rate and maturity period for the U.S. program were 5.18% and 23.81 days, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate and maturity period for the European program were 3.68% and 20.90 days, respectively.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included in this report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

References to “Mohawk,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Mohawk Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires.

Overview

Mohawk is a significant supplier of every major flooring category with manufacturing operations in 19 nations and sales in approximately 170 countries. Based on its annual sales, the Company believes it is the world’s largest flooring manufacturer. A majority of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States and Europe, which are also the Company’s primary markets. Additionally, the Company maintains operations in Australia, Brazil, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia and other parts of the world. The Company is a leading provider of flooring for residential and commercial markets and has earned significant recognition for its innovation in design and performance as well as sustainability.

During 2022 and 2023, the Company implemented a number of restructuring actions, productivity initiatives and manufacturing enhancements focused on reducing costs to enhance future performance, including certain facility, asset and product rationalizations and workforce reductions. The Company anticipates these projects will deliver annual savings of approximately $150 million, with an estimated cost of approximately $215 million. In 2024, the Company announced further restructuring actions, including additional facility, assets and product rationalizations and workforce reductions to further reduce costs and prepare the business for the future. The Company anticipates these projects will deliver annual savings of approximately $115 million, with an estimated cost of approximately $130 million. Execution timelines will vary by project, with some savings extending into 2026.

Residential remodeling is the primary sales driver of flooring products and most flooring is replaced before a home is listed for sale or just after a home purchase is completed. Currently, consumers are delaying their discretionary spending habits due to inflationary pressures and other macroeconomic factors, and this trend continues to impact new home construction and residential renovation and remodeling activity. While the U.S. federal funds rate decreased in September 2024 for the first time since March 2020, housing turnover rates remain suppressed due to elevated home mortgage rates and the "locked-in" effect on homeowners, and consumers continue to face a higher cost of living and postpone large purchases of durable goods such as flooring. The Company has, to some extent, offset the impact of a soft housing market and decreased renovation activity through cost containment, productivity and lower input costs. Due to low housing availability, aging stock and greater household formation, the Company believes demand in its markets will accelerate when interest rates decline. In addition, declining costs in energy and raw materials, coupled with lower industry volumes, have continued to exert pressure on selling prices, although energy prices in certain geographies and materials prices in some product categories remain volatile and may change significantly and unpredictably.

Due to its global footprint, Mohawk’s business is sensitive to geopolitical conflict, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflicts in the Middle East. Since the first quarter of 2022, the Company has suspended new investments in Russia in response to ongoing Russian military actions in Ukraine, and the United States, the European Union and other governments have imposed and extended sanctions on Russia as well as on certain individuals and financial institutions, and have proposed the use of broader economic sanctions. Increased restrictions on global trade could result in, among other things, increased volatility in foreign exchange rates and financial markets, supply chain disruptions, and decreased consumer discretionary spending, any of which may adversely affect the Company’s business and supply chain. While the Company has had success sourcing alternate suppliers of raw materials to counteract supply chain disruptions, the Company may be negatively impacted by additional supply chain disruption in the future caused by further escalation of geopolitical conflict. In addition, the Company may be impacted by global increases in the cost of natural gas, oil and oil-based raw materials and chemicals. The broader consequences of current ongoing military conflicts, which may include further economic sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, and geopolitical shifts; potential retaliatory actions, including nationalization of foreign-owned businesses; increased tensions between the United States and countries in which the Company operates; and the extent of the conflict’s effect on the Company’s business and results of operations, as well as the global economy, cannot be predicted. In addition, a prolonged and more expansive conflict in the Middle East region could escalate oil and petroleum-based chemical prices as well as lead to the introduction of sanctions or transportation barriers, though the extent of the impact on the Company’s business and results of operations, as well as the global economy, cannot be predicted.

The Company believes that a number of circumstances may influence trends in 2024, including interest rates, escalation of geopolitical conflict and decreased availability of material due to disruptions in the global supply chain, but the extent and duration of such impacts cannot be predicted.

The Company believes it is well positioned with a strong balance sheet. Based on its current liquidity and available credit, the Company is in a position to finance internal investments, acquisitions and/or additional stock purchases and pay current debt as it becomes due. For information on risks that could impact the Company’s results, please refer to Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

In 2024, the Company plans to invest approximately $450 million focused on completing capacity expansion projects and targeted initiatives that will drive cost reduction while improving operational performance.

For the three months ended September 28, 2024, the net earnings attributable to the Company were $162.0 million compared to the net loss attributable to the Company of $760.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to lower impairment charges to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles; productivity gains; lower legal settlements, reserves and fees; lower restructuring, acquisition and integration-related, and other costs and lower input costs, partially offset by the unfavorable net impact of price and product mix.

For the nine months ended September 28, 2024, the net earnings attributable to the Company were $424.5 million compared to the net loss attributable to the Company of $579.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to lower impairment charges to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles; lower input costs; productivity gains; lower legal settlements, reserves and fees and lower restructuring, acquisition and integration-related, and other costs, partially offset by the unfavorable net impact of price and product mix.

For the nine months ended September 28, 2024, the Company generated $736.9 million of cash from operating activities. As of September 28, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $424.0 million, of which $245.6 million was in the United States and $178.4 million was in foreign countries.

If, in the future, the Company's market capitalization and/or the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units were to decline further, it may be necessary to record additional impairment charges.

Flooring NA—Operating income was $196.3 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 compared to operating loss of $131.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to lower impairment charges to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles of approximately $216 million; lower input costs of approximately $104 million; productivity gains of approximately $56 million and lower restructuring, acquisition and integration-related, and other costs of approximately $32 million, partially offset by the unfavorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $84 million.

Flooring ROW—Operating income was $204.3 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 compared to operating income of $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to lower impairment charges to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles of approximately $235 million; lower input costs of approximately $84 million and productivity gains of approximately $32 million, partially offset by the unfavorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $170 million.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $38.6 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 compared to interest expense of $60.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to strong cash flow and the resulting lower debt level.

Other income and expense, net

Other income and expense, net was income of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 compared to other income of $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Other income and expense, net did not significantly change for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 from the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Income tax expense

For the nine months ended September 28, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $109.9 million on earnings before income taxes of $534.5 million, for an effective tax rate of 20.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $70.7 million on loss before income taxes of $508.1 million, for an effective tax rate of (13.9)%. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a shift from losses before income taxes to earnings before income taxes and the impairment of non-deductible goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Company’s capital needs are met primarily through a combination of internally generated funds, commercial paper, bank credit lines, term and senior notes and credit terms from suppliers.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2024 was $736.9 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,032.9 million in the first nine months of 2023. The change was primarily attributable to cash used for inventory and accounts receivable, partially offset by cash provided by higher net earnings and the change in accounts payable.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2024 was $293.6 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $730.0 million in the first nine months of 2023. The change was primarily attributable to the decrease in acquisition costs of $515.4 million and the decrease in capital expenditures of $79.0 million, partially offset by the decrease in the redemptions of short-term investments of $158.0 million (net of purchases of short-term investments).

Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2024 was $651.6 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $273.8 million in the first nine months of 2023. The change was primarily attributable to higher payments of term loan facility of $912.3 million, lower proceeds from Senior Notes of $600.0 million, higher share repurchase of $87.9 million and lower proceeds from Senior Credit Facility of $35.9 million (net of payments), partially offset by the higher proceeds from commercial paper of $1,239.3 million (net of payments).

As of September 28, 2024, the Company had cash of $424.0 million, of which $245.6 million was in the United States and $178.4 million was in foreign countries. The Company plans to permanently reinvest the cash held outside the United States. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations and availability under its existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditure, working capital and debt servicing requirements over at least the next twelve months. The Company continually evaluates its projected needs and may conduct additional debt financings, subject to market conditions, to increase its liquidity and to take advantage of attractive financing opportunities.

On February 10, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock (the “2022 Share Repurchase Program”). As of September 28, 2024, there remained $141.4 million authorized under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program.

See Note 17, Debt, of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the Company’s long-term debt. The Company may continue, from time to time, to retire its outstanding debt through cash purchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amount involved may be material.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s contractual obligations as disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K except as described herein.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates during the period. The Company's critical accounting policies are described in its 2023 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation affects the Company’s manufacturing costs, distribution costs and operating expenses. The Company expects raw material prices, many of which are petroleum-based, to fluctuate based upon worldwide supply and demand of commodities utilized in the Company’s production processes. Although the Company attempts to pass on increases in raw material, labor, energy and fuel-related costs to its customers, the Company’s ability to do so is dependent upon the rate and magnitude of any increase, competitive pressures and market conditions for the Company’s products. There have been in the past, and may be in the future, periods of time during which increases in these costs cannot be fully recovered. In the past, the Company has often been able to enhance productivity and develop new product innovations to help offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in its operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 28, 2024.

Seasonality

The Company is a calendar year-end company. Global Ceramic and Flooring NA typically have higher net sales in the second and third quarters. Flooring ROW typically has higher net sales in the second and fourth quarters. Because periods of economic downturn can affect the seasonality of each segment, sales for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of the sales that may be achieved for any other quarter or for the full year.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of September 28, 2024, approximately 80% of the Company’s debt portfolio was comprised of fixed-rate debt and 20% was floating-rate debt. A 1.0 percentage point increase in the interest rate of the floating-rate debt would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of $1.1 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024.

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s exposure to market risk as disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

Under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program, the Company may purchase common stock in open market transactions, block or privately negotiated transactions, and may from time to time purchase shares pursuant to trading plans in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 or 10b-18 under the Exchange Act or by any combination of such methods. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of the purchases are based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of cash balances, credit availability, debt covenant restrictions, general business conditions, regulatory requirements, the market price of the Company’s stock and the availability of alternative investment opportunities. No time limit was set for completion of repurchases under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program and the 2022 Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
