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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Interface provides adjusted earnings per share, adjusted net income, adjusted operating income ("AOI"), adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted SG&A expenses, currency- neutral sales and currency-neutral sales growth, net debt, and adjusted EBITDA as additional information regarding its operating results in this press release. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with – or alternatives to – GAAP measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Adjusted EPS, adjusted net income, and AOI exclude nora purchase accounting amortization, the cyber event impact, and restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net. Adjusted EPS and adjusted net income also exclude the property casualty loss impact, the loss on foreign subsidiary liquidation, and the loss on discontinuance of interest rate swaps. 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. Currency-neutral sales and currency-neutral sales growth exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Net debt is total debt less cash on hand. 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 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
15
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.
