Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Release

Strong strategy execution drives significant profitability expansion and double-digit order growth

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Interface, Inc. (Nasdaq: TILE), a worldwide commercial flooring company and global leader in sustainability, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 29, 2024.

Third quarter highlights:

  • Net sales were $344.3 million, up 10.7% year-over-year.
  • Gross profit margin increased to 37.1%, up 162 basis points year-over-year.
  • GAAP earnings per share of $0.48; Adjusted earnings per share of $0.48.
  • Currency-neutral orders up 10% year-over-year.

"We delivered another quarter of strong performance, as our One Interface strategy continues to yield tangible results, including double-digit sales growth and significant profitability expansion. Education billings were up 18% year-over-year in the third quarter. In the Corporate Office segment, our global billings were up 2% year-over-year, outpacing overall industry trends and demonstrating that we are gaining market share. As expected, Retail billings increased in the third quarter compared to soft activity in the prior year," commented Laurel Hurd, CEO of Interface.

"Effective commercial execution drove double-digit growth in currency-neutral orders in the third quarter. Currency-neutral orders in the Americas were up 17% with growth across all product categories, highlighting the effectiveness of our combined nora and Interface selling teams in the U.S. Currency-neutral orders in EAAA were flat, with increased activity in Asia offset by softness in Australia. Our ability to adapt globally in a dynamic market has enabled us to consistently deliver strong results, gain market share, and grow our business," concluded Hurd.

"We generated $76.2 million of cash from operations in the third quarter and repaid $51.3 million of debt in the third quarter and $80.9 million year to date. We remain focused on strengthening the balance sheet through debt repayment and utilizing cash to reinvest in growth opportunities across the business," added Bruce Hausmann, CFO of Interface.

Gross profit margin was 37.1% in the third quarter, an increase of 162 basis points from the prior year period.

Outlook

Interface delivered impressive results in the third quarter of 2024 and enters the fourth quarter of 2024 with strong orders and a healthy backlog. As a reminder, the Company's fourth quarter of 2023 adjusted gross profit margin benefited 160 basis points from non-recurring items that reduced the Company's cost of sales in that quarter. Separately, Interface continues to anticipate strong Retail billings in the fourth quarter of 2024, which have slightly lower gross profit margins. With that backdrop in mind, the Company is raising its full year outlook and is now anticipating the following:

For the full fiscal year 2024:

  • Net sales of $1.315 billion to $1.325 billion.
  • Adjusted gross profit margin of approximately 36.6%.
  • Adjusted SG&A expenses of approximately $345 million.
  • Adjusted Interest & Other expenses of approximately $27 million.
  • An adjusted effective tax rate for the full year of approximately 25.0%.
  • Fully diluted weighted average share count of approximately 58.8 million shares.
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $37 million.

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.
