ATLANTA, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ:TILE), a worldwide commercial flooring company and global leader in sustainability, today announced results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2021.

Quarterly Highlights:

Q3 2021 orders increased 24% year over year compared to Q3 2020.
Net sales totaled $313 million, up 12% year over year compared to Q3 2020.
Q3 2021 GAAP earnings per share of $0.19; Q3 2021 adjusted earnings per share of $0.29.
Debt paydown continues to be strong with $30 million of debt repaid in the third quarter.
European carpet tile production no longer using petroleum-based bitumen backing.

"We delivered solid results this quarter, growing sales 12% year over year, while generating $29 million of cash from operating activities and paying down debt to reach pre-pandemic leverage. Order momentum continued, increasing 24% year over year, reflecting a 34% increase in the Americas region and a 12% increase in our EAAA region. Demand for our carbon neutral and carbon negative products continues to build, and we are proud to announce that we have transitioned our European carpet tile backing entirely to CQuest™Bio, removing petroleum-based bitumen in favor of bio-based materials and recycled fillers," said Dan Hendrix, Chairman and CEO of Interface. "We continue to take great strides on our Climate Take Back^TM journey. Last month, we also announced that we are the first global flooring company to receive third-party validation of our 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets as science-based by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These now validated science-based targets (SBT) commit Interface to further reduce our Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions in alignment with our goal of becoming a carbon negative company by 2040."

"We expect a strong end to the year, as we ended Q3 with backlog up 33% year over year and 8% sequentially. Gross margins will continue to be hampered due to ongoing industry-wide supply chain challenges, but those impacts will be partially offset with pass throughs of price increases and freight surcharges," added Bruce Hausmann, CFO of Interface.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Summary

Sales: Third quarter net sales were $312.7 million, up 12% versus $278.6 million in the prior year period. The strong sales activity resulted from a release of pent-up demand and an ensuing commercial market recovery.

Gross profit margin was 34.0% in the third quarter, a decrease of 266 basis points from the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit margin was 34.5%, a decrease of 271 basis points from adjusted gross margin for the prior year period due to higher labor, freight and raw material costs.

Q3 2021 operating income of $3.1 million compared to $1.0 million in the prior year period.

Operating income for the first nine months of 2021 was $16.4 million compared to an operating loss of $112.4 million in the prior year period. The nine-month period of 2020 includes a non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $118.6 million.

Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2021 of $320 million to $330 million.
Adjusted gross profit percentage in the fourth quarter of 2021 of approximately 35.5% to 36.5%.
Adjusted SG&A expense for the full year of 2021 of approximately $315 million to $319 million.
Interest & Other expense for the full year of 2021 of approximately $28 million.
An adjusted effective tax rate for the full year of 2021 of approximately 26%.

* Historical AEBITDA figures have been updated to reflect a change in depreciation and amortization values used to calculate AEBITDA.

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.
