Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 28, 2019

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The December 29, 2018 consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2019. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in HNI Corporation's (the "Corporation") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018. Certain reclassifications have been made within the interim financial information to conform to the current presentation.

Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by sales channel and by segment is as follows (in thousands):



		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	Segment	September 28, 2019		September 29, 2018		September 28, 2019		September 29, 2018
Supplies-driven channel	Office furniture	$	260,359	$	265,971	$	649,380	$	680,656
Contract channel	Office furniture	224,396		205,716		598,398		595,824
Hearth	Hearth products	140,631		139,433		383,090		383,323
Net sales		$	625,386	$	611,120	$	1,630,868	$	1,659,803

The majority of revenue presented as "Net sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income is the result of contracts with customers. All other sources of revenue are not material to the Corporation's results of operations.

Sales by channel type are subject to similar economic factors and market conditions regardless of the channel under which the product is sold. See “Note 18. Reportable Segment Information” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about operating segments.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

In addition to trade receivables, the Corporation has contract assets consisting of funds paid to certain office furniture dealers in exchange for their multi-year commitment to market and sell the Corporation’s products. These contract assets are amortized over the term of the contracts and recognized as a reduction of revenue. The Corporation has contract liabilities consisting of customer deposits and rebate and marketing program liabilities.

Contract assets and contract liabilities were as follows (in thousands):



	September 28, 2019		December 29, 2018
Trade receivables (1)	$	275,738	$	259,075
Other contract assets (current) (2)	$	837	$	529
Other contract assets (long-term) (3)	$	2,865	$	2,188
Contract liabilities (4)	$	44,463	$	44,858

The index below indicates the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets where contract assets and contract liabilities are reported:

(1) "Receivables"

(2) "Prepaid expenses and other current assets"

(3) "Other Assets"

(4) "Accounts payable and accrued expenses"

Changes in other contract asset and contract liability balances during the nine months ended September 28, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):



	Contract assets increase (decrease)			Contract liabilities (increase) decrease
Contract assets recognized	$	1,313		$	—
Reclassification of contract assets to contra revenue	(328		)	—
Contract liabilities recognized and recorded to contra revenue as a result of performance obligations satisfied	—			(110,789		)
Contract liabilities paid	—			109,592
Cash received in advance and not recognized as revenue	—			(49,962		)
Reclassification of cash received in advance to revenue as a result of performance obligations satisfied	—			51,554
Net change	$	985		$	395

Contract liabilities for customer deposits paid to the Corporation prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations are recognized as revenue upon completion of the performance obligations. The amount of revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019 that was included in the December 29, 2018 contract liabilities balance was $0.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

Performance Obligations

The Corporation recognizes revenue for sales of office furniture and hearth products at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product. In certain circumstances, transfer of control to the customer does not occur until the goods are received by the customer or upon installation and/or customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Contracts typically have a duration of less than one year and normally do not include a significant financing component. Generally, payment is due within 30 days of invoicing.

The Corporation's backlog orders are typically cancelable for a period of time and almost all contracts have an original duration of one year or less. As a result, the Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in the revenue accounting standard not to disclose the unsatisfied performance obligation as of September 28, 2019. The backlog is typically fulfilled within a quarter.

Significant Judgments

The amount of consideration the Corporation receives and revenue recognized varies with changes in rebate and marketing program incentives, as well as early pay discounts, offered to customers. The Corporation uses significant judgment throughout the year in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by variable consideration for rebate and marketing programs. Judgments made include expected sales levels and utilization of funds. However, this judgment factor is significantly reduced at the end of each year when sales volumes and the impact to rebate and marketing programs are known and recorded as the programs typically end near the Corporation's fiscal year end.

Note 3. Restructuring and Impairment Charges

Restructuring costs recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income are as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2019		September 29, 2018		September 28, 2019		September 29, 2018
Restructuring and impairment charges	$	284	$	128	$	1,214	$	2,303

Restructuring costs in 2019 related to a structural realignment in the office furniture segment and were primarily comprised of severance costs. Restructuring and impairment costs in 2018 were primarily incurred as part of the previously announced closure of the hearth manufacturing facility in Paris, Kentucky and the office furniture manufacturing facility in Orleans, Indiana.

The accrued restructuring expenses are expected to be paid in the next twelve months and are reflected in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following is a summary of changes in restructuring accruals (in thousands):



	Severance Costs			Facility Exit Costs & Other			Total
Restructuring allowance as of December 29, 2018	$	136		$	150		$	286
Restructuring charges	899			315			1,214
Cash payments	(640		)	(99		)	(739		)
Restructuring allowance as of September 28, 2019	$	395		$	366		$	761

Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures

As part of the Corporation's ongoing business strategy, it continues to acquire and divest small office furniture dealerships, for which the impact is not material to the Corporation's financial statements.

Note 5. Inventories

The Corporation values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value with approximately 73 percent valued by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") costing method. Inventories included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following (in thousands):



	September 28, 2019			December 29, 2018
	September 28, 2019			December 29, 2018
Finished products	$	138,767		$	97,398
Materials and work in process	77,269			94,161
LIFO allowance	(34,114		)	(34,381		)
Total inventories	$	181,922		$	157,178

Note 6. Leases

The Corporation implemented ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), at the beginning of fiscal 2019 using the modified-retrospective transition approach. The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use ("ROU") asset and lease liability. The Corporation selected a technology tool to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, business process, systems, controls, and disclosures, were identified and implemented as of the first quarter 2019.

Implementation of ASU No. 2016-02 increased retained earnings by $3.0 million. This included an increase of $3.3 million driven by the recognition of the remaining deferred gain on a 2018 sale-leaseback directly into retained earnings. An offsetting decrease of $0.3 million was driven by the calculation of beginning ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Corporation recognized $73.8 million in ROU assets and $82.0 million in lease liabilities as a result of the implementation of this standard.

The Corporation leases certain showrooms, office space, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, retail stores and equipment and determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As the rates implicit in its leases cannot be readily determined, the Corporation uses a secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Corporation uses separate discount rates for its U.S. operations and overseas operations.

Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Corporation's sole discretion. Certain real estate leases include an option to terminate the lease term earlier than the specified lease term for a fee. These options are not included as part of the lease term unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Many of the Corporation's real estate lease agreements include periods of rent holidays and payments that escalate over the lease term by specified amounts. While not significant, certain equipment leases have variable lease payments based on machine hours and certain real estate leases have rate changes based on the Consumer Price Index. The Corporation's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.

The Corporation has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component.

On occasion, the Corporation rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties. This sublease portfolio consists mainly of operating leases for office furniture showrooms and is not significant.

Leases included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet consisted of the following (in thousands):



Classification	September 28, 2019

The Corporation elected to use the modified-retrospective method of adopting ASU 2016-02. It has been applied to all leases active on or after December 30, 2018, the start of the Corporation's fiscal year.

The Corporation elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting ASU 2016-02:


•	The Corporation has made an accounting election by class of underlying assets to not separate non-lease components of a contract from the lease components to which they relate for all classes of assets except for embedded leases.


•	The Corporation has elected not to restate prior period financial statements for the effects of the new standard. Required ASC 840 disclosures for periods prior to 2019 have been provided.


•	The Corporation has elected not to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the likelihood that a lessee purchase option will be exercised.


•	The Corporation has elected for all asset classes to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that at the acquisition date have a remaining lease term of twelve months or less.

Presented below are the final disclosures utilizing ASC 840 treatment which was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018:

Commitments for minimum rentals under non-cancelable leases were as follows (in thousands):



	Operating Leases
2019	$	24,387
2020	18,250
2021	13,324
2022	9,082
2023	6,228
Thereafter	10,469
Total minimum lease payments	$	81,740

There were no capitalized leases as of December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017.

Rent expense under ASC 840 was as follows (in thousands):



	2018		2017		2016
Rent expense	$	31,027	$	32,158	$	35,288

There was no contingent rent expense under operating leases for the years 2018, 2017, and 2016.

As part of the Corporation's continued efforts to drive efficiency and simplification, the Corporation entered into a sale-leaseback transaction in the first quarter of 2018, selling a manufacturing facility and subsequently leasing back a portion of the facility for a term of 10 years. The net proceeds from the sale of the facility of $16.9 million were reflected in "Proceeds from sale and license

of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in 2018. In accordance with ASC 840, the $5.1 million gain on the sale of the facility was deferred and was being amortized as a reduction to rent expense evenly over the term of the lease. In accordance with the ASU No. 2016-02 adoption, the remaining unamortized deferred gain related to the sale-leaseback as of December 29, 2018 was recognized directly in "Retained earnings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the first quarter of 2019 as a cumulative-effect adjustment as the Corporation transferred control of the asset.

The immaterial change in the indefinite-lived intangible assets balances shown above is related to foreign currency translation impacts.

Impairment Analysis

The Corporation evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever indicators of impairment exist.

Note 8. Product Warranties

The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its office furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design, materials, or workmanship. Allowances have been established for the anticipated future costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs.

A warranty allowance is determined by recording a specific allowance for known warranty issues and an additional allowance for unknown issues expected to be incurred based on historical experience. Actual costs incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the allowance. Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows (in thousands):



	Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2019			September 29, 2018
Balance at beginning of period	$	15,450		$	15,388
Accruals for warranties issued during period	15,406			22,130
Adjustments related to pre-existing warranties	127			116
Warranty issues resolved during the period	(15,377		)	(22,203		)
Balance at end of period	$	15,606		$	15,431

The current and long-term portions of the allowance for estimated warranty issues are reflected within "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" and "Other Long-Term Liabilities", respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes when these estimated warranty issues are expected to be paid (in thousands):



	September 28, 2019		December 29, 2018
Current - in the next twelve months	$	9,538	$	9,455
Long-term - beyond one year	6,068		5,995
Total	$	15,606	$	15,450

Note 9. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt is as follows (in thousands):



	September 28, 2019			December 29, 2018
Revolving credit facility with interest at a variable rate (September 28, 2019 - 3.2%; December 29, 2018 - 3.5%)	$	140,000		$	150,000
Fixed rate notes due in 2025 with an interest rate of 4.22%	50,000			50,000
Fixed rate notes due in 2028 with an interest rate of 4.40%	50,000			50,000
Other amounts	1,440			679
Deferred debt issuance costs	(582		)	(645		)
Total debt	240,858			250,034
Less: Current maturities of long-term debt	1,440			679
Long-term debt	$	239,418		$	249,355

As of September 28, 2019, the Corporation’s revolving credit facility borrowings were under the credit agreement entered into on April 20, 2018 with a scheduled maturity of April 20, 2023. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the credit agreement, which are classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the credit agreement. The current portion of debt issuance costs of $0.4 million is the amount to be amortized over the next twelve months based on the current credit agreement and is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of debt issuance costs of $1.1 million is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 28, 2019, there was $140 million outstanding under the $450 million revolving credit facility. The entire amount drawn under the revolving credit facility is considered long-term as the Corporation assumes no obligation to repay any of the amounts borrowed in the next twelve months. Based on current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the Corporation can access the full remaining $310 million of borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility and maintain compliance with applicable covenants.

In addition to cash flows from operations, the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is the primary source of daily operating capital for the Corporation and provides additional financial capacity for capital expenditures, repurchases of common stock, and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions.

In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Corporation also has $100 million of borrowings outstanding under private placement note agreements entered into on May 31, 2018. Under the agreements, the Corporation issued $50 million of seven-year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.22 percent, due May 31, 2025, and $50 million of ten-year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.40 percent, due May 31, 2028. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the private placement note agreements, which are classified as a reduction of long-term debt in accordance with ASU No. 2015-03, and is amortizing them over the terms of the private placement note agreements. The deferred debt issuance costs do not reduce the amount owed by the Corporation under the terms of the private placement note agreements. As of September 28, 2019 the debt issuance costs balance of $0.6 million related to the private placement note agreements is reflected in "Long-Term Debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The credit agreement and private placement notes both contain financial and non-financial covenants. The covenants under both are substantially the same. Non-compliance with covenants under the agreements could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding, and/or increase the cost of borrowing.

Covenants require maintenance of financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter, including:


•	a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and


•	a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.

The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.5 to 1.0. Under the credit agreement, consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash items that increase or decrease net income. As of September 28, 2019, the Corporation was below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement. The Corporation expects to remain in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement over the next twelve months.

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Corporation's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The following table summarizes the Corporation's income tax provision (dollars in thousands):



	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2019			September 29, 2018			September 28, 2019			September 29, 2018
Income before income taxes	$	58,451		$	51,104		$	80,786		$	76,997
Income taxes	$	12,375		$	11,197		$	17,878		$	16,033
Effective tax rate	21.2		%	21.9		%	22.1		%	20.8		%

The Corporation's effective tax rate was lower in the three months ended September 28, 2019 compared to the same period last year primarily due to reduced foreign taxes and the release of tax reserves due to statute of limitations in the current year. The effective tax rate was higher in the nine months ended September 28, 2019 compared to the same period last year primarily due to the release of a valuation allowance for certain foreign jurisdictions in 2018.

On February 14, 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which provides entities an option to reclassify stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") within accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for each period in which the effects of the Act is recorded. ASU 2018-02 does not modify the existing requirement to allocate the income tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates directly to continuing operations as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted.

The Corporation adopted in Q1 2019 and applied the portfolio approach of accounting related to releasing income tax effects from AOCI. During the three months ended March 30, 2019, the Corporation reclassified $0.7 million of federal income taxes that were stranded in AOCI due to the Act to retained earnings. No income tax effects were reclassified subsequent to Q1 2019.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis, the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, variable-rate and fixed-rate debt obligations, and deferred stock-based compensation. The marketable securities are comprised of money market funds, government securities, and corporate bonds. When available, the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1. Where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs (prices or quotes from published exchanges and indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.

Financial instruments measured at fair value were as follows (in thousands):



	Fair value as of measurement date		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

Interest Rate Swap

In March 2016, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap transaction to hedge $150 million of outstanding variable rate revolver borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Corporation paid a fixed rate of 1.29 percent and received one month LIBOR on a $150 million notional value. In August 2019, the agreement governing this interest rate swap was terminated, and the Corporation received cash proceeds of $0.5 million, the fair value of the interest rate swap on the termination date. The proceeds were recorded as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The $0.5 million gain from the termination of this interest rate swap agreement was recorded to "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" and will be amortized to interest expense through January 2021, the remaining term of the original interest rate swap agreement.

In August 2019, concurrent with the termination of the previous interest rate swap, the Corporation entered into a new interest rate swap transaction to hedge $75 million of outstanding variable rate revolver borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of this interest rate swap, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 1.42 percent and receives one month LIBOR on a $75 million notional value expiring August 2023. As of September 28, 2019, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap asset and liability was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The unrecognized change in value of the interest rate swap is reported net of tax as $0.3 million in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 16. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019 and was implemented using a modified-retrospective transition approach. The Corporation selected a technology tool to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, business process, systems, controls, and disclosures, were identified and implemented as of the first quarter 2019. See "Note 6. Leases" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for financial impacts, accounting elections, and further information.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new standard allows entities to reclassify certain stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act"). The standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019. See "Note 10. Income Taxes" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The new standard improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019. The standard requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption for the previously recorded ineffectiveness included in retained earnings related to existing net investment hedges as of the date of adoption. The Corporation did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as no net investment hedges existed as of the ASU adoption date. New hedging relationships entered after the adoption date have been presented in the financial statements using the guidance of the ASU. The standard did not have a material effect on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 17. Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies

The Corporation utilizes letters of credit and surety bonds in the amount of approximately $25 million to back certain insurance policies and payment obligations. The Corporation utilizes trade letters of credit and banker's acceptances in the amount of approximately $2 million to guarantee certain payments to overseas suppliers. The letters of credit, bonds, and banker's acceptances reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to competitively determined fees.

The Corporation has contingent liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business, including liabilities relating to pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes, and other claims. It is the Corporation's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, cash flows, or on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.

Note 18. Reportable Segment Information

Management views the Corporation as being in two reportable segments based on industries: office furniture and hearth products, with the former being the principal segment.

The aggregated office furniture segment manufactures and markets a broad line of commercial and home office furniture which includes storage products, desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, bookcases, freestanding office partitions and panel systems, and other related products. The hearth products segment manufactures and markets a broad line of gas, electric, wood, and biomass burning fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings, and accessories, principally for the home.

For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales between segments are not material, and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated general corporate expenses. These unallocated general corporate expenses include the net costs of the Corporation's corporate operations. Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs and not as a reportable segment cost. In addition, management applies an effective income tax rate to its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets applicable to the respective industry segments. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, IT infrastructure, and corporate office real estate and related equipment.

No geographic information for revenues from external customers or for long-lived assets is disclosed since the Corporation's primary market and capital investments are concentrated in the United States.

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

The following discussion of the Corporation's historical results of operations and of its liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation and related notes. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties. See "Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this section for further information.

Overview

The Corporation has two reportable segments: office furniture and hearth products. The Corporation is a leading global office furniture manufacturer and the leading manufacturer and marketer of hearth products.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2019 were $625.4 million, an increase of 2.3 percent, compared to net sales of $611.1 million in the third quarter of 2018. The change was driven by a 2.8 percent increase in the office furniture segment, along with a 0.9 percent increase in the hearth products segment. Divestitures of small office furniture companies resulted in a net decrease in sales of $4.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Net income attributable to the Corporation in the third quarter of 2019 was $46.1 million compared to net income of $39.9 million in the third quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily driven by price realization and productivity, net of investments, partially offset by lower sales volume and higher input costs.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2019 increased 2.3 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The change was driven by a 2.8 percent increase in the office furniture segment, along with a 0.9 percent increase in the hearth products segment. Office furniture segment sales increased driven by growth in the contract business, partially offset by a decrease of $4.5 million from the net impact of divesting small office furniture companies. Hearth products segment sales increased in the new construction business.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 20 basis points in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter last year primarily driven by lower sales volume and higher input costs, partially offset by price realization and productivity, net of investments.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 110 basis points in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter last year primarily driven by higher net sales and lower core spend.

Restructuring Charges

In the third quarter of 2019, the Corporation recorded $0.3 million of restructuring costs in connection with a structural realignment in the office furniture segment.

In the third quarter of 2018, the Corporation recorded $0.1 million of restructuring costs primarily associated with the previously announced closure of the hearth manufacturing facility in Paris, Kentucky.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the third quarter of 2019 was $2.2 million, compared to $2.5 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was driven by higher interest income in the current period, as the Corporation held a larger average balance of excess cash in interest-bearing accounts.

Income Taxes

The Corporation's income tax provision for the third quarter of 2019 was an expense of $12.4 million on income before taxes of $58.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 21.2 percent. For the third quarter of 2018, the Corporation's income tax provision was an expense of $11.2 million on income before taxes of $51.1 million, or an effective tax rate of 21.9 percent. Refer to "Note 10. Income Taxes" for further information.

Net Income Attributable to HNI Corporation

Net income attributable to the Corporation was $46.1 million or $1.07 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $39.9 million or $0.89 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2018.

Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended

Net Sales

For the first nine months of 2019, consolidated net sales decreased 1.7 percent compared to the same period last year. The change was driven by a 2.2 percent decrease in the office furniture segment. Office furniture segment sales decreased primarily due to a decrease in the supplies-driven business, along with a decrease of $18.0 million from the net impact of closing and divesting small office furniture companies. Hearth products segment sales decreased 0.1 percent compared to the same period last year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was flat in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period last year. A decrease of 10 basis points was driven primarily by lower volume and higher input costs, partially offset by price realization. An offsetting increase of 10 basis points was due to transition costs incurred in the prior year period.

During the first nine months of 2018, the Corporation recorded $1.7 million of transition costs in cost of sales primarily related to structural realignment in China and the previously announced closure of the office furniture manufacturing facility in Orleans, Indiana.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 30 basis points in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period last year primarily driven by lower business system implementation costs and core spend, partially offset by higher investments and cost inflation.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

During the first nine months of 2019, the Corporation recorded $1.2 million of restructuring costs in connection with a structural realignment in the office furniture segment.

During the first nine months of 2018, the Corporation recorded $2.3 million of restructuring and impairment charges primarily associated with the previously announced closures of the office furniture manufacturing facility in Orleans, Indiana and the hearth manufacturing facility in Paris, Kentucky. These costs include an impairment charge due to an updated valuation of the closed manufacturing facility held for sale.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the first nine months of 2019 was $6.8 million, compared to $7.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease was driven by higher interest income in the current period, as the Corporation held a larger average balance of excess cash in interest-bearing accounts.

Income Taxes

The Corporation's income tax provision for the first nine months of 2019 was an expense of $17.9 million on income before taxes of $80.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 22.1 percent. For the first nine months of 2018, the Corporation's income tax provision was an expense of $16.0 million on income before taxes of $77.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 20.8 percent. The income tax provision reflects a higher rate in 2019 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the release of a valuation allowance for certain foreign jurisdictions in 2018. Refer to "Note 10. Income Taxes" for further information.

Net Income Attributable to HNI Corporation

Net income attributable to the Corporation was $62.9 million or $1.44 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2019 compared to $61.0 million or $1.38 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2018.

Office Furniture

The following table presents certain key highlights from the results of operations in the office furniture segment (in thousands):

Three Months Ended

Third quarter 2019 net sales for the office furniture segment increased 2.8 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Sales increased primarily due to an increase in the contract business, partially offset by a decrease in the supplies-driven business, along with a decrease of $4.5 million due to the net impact of divesting small office furniture companies.

Operating profit as a percentage of net sales increased 90 basis points in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter last year. This increase was driven by price realization and productivity, net of investments, partially offset by lower sales volume, higher input costs, and higher restructuring and transition costs.

Nine Months Ended

Net sales for the first nine months of 2019 for the office furniture segment decreased 2.2 percent compared to the same period last year. Sales decreased primarily due to a decrease in the supplies-driven business, along with a decrease of $18.0 million due to the net impact of closing and divesting small office furniture companies.

Operating profit as a percentage of net sales increased 40 basis points for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period last year. Of this increase, 30 basis points were driven primarily by price realization, lower business system implementation costs, and improved productivity, net of investments, partially offset by lower sales volume and higher input costs. The remaining 10 basis points increase was due to lower restructuring and transition costs.

During the first nine months of 2019, the Corporation recorded $1.2 million of restructuring costs and $0.2 million of transition costs in connection with a structural realignment in the office furniture segment.

During the first nine months of 2018, the office furniture segment recorded $1.3 million of restructuring costs and $1.2 million of transition costs primarily associated with the previously announced closure of the office furniture manufacturing facility in Orleans, Indiana and structural realignments in China. Of these charges, $1.2 million was included in cost of sales.

Hearth Products

	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2019			September 29, 2018			Change		September 28, 2019			September 29, 2018			Change
Net sales	$	140,631		$	139,433		0.9	%	$	383,090		$	383,323		(0.1	%)

Three Months Ended

Third quarter 2019 net sales for the hearth products segment increased 0.9 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Sales increased in the new construction business, but were partially offset by a decrease in the retail business.

Operating profit as a percentage of net sales increased 120 basis points in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter last year. This increase was driven by price realization and one-time restructuring and transition costs incurred in the prior year quarter, partially offset by lower sales volume and higher input costs.

Nine Months Ended

Net sales for the first nine months of 2019 for the hearth products segment decreased 0.1 percent compared to the same period last year. The decrease was driven by the retail business, partially offset by an increase in the new construction business.

Operating profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 10 basis points for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period last year. Of this decrease, 50 basis points were primarily driven by lower sales volume, higher input costs, and investments, partially offset by price realization, and lower core SG&A spend and incentive compensation. This decline was partially offset by a 40 basis points increase due to restructuring and impairment charges, and transition costs, incurred in the prior year period.

During the first nine months of 2018, the hearth products segment recorded $1.0 million of restructuring and impairment charges and $0.5 million of transition costs primarily associated with the previously announced closures of the hearth manufacturing facilities in Paris, Kentucky and Colville, Washington. Of these charges, $0.5 million was included in cost of sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow – Operating Activities

Operating activities were a source of $115.6 million of cash in the first nine months of 2019 compared to a source of $115.0 million of cash in the first nine months of 2018. An increase in non-cash items is primarily attributable to amortization of lease costs in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, mostly offset by related lease outflows and other smaller working capital balance changes.

Cash Flow – Investing Activities

Capital expenditures, including capitalized software, for the first nine months of 2019 were $50.2 million compared to $47.0 million in the same period last year. These expenditures are primarily focused on machinery, equipment, and tooling required to support new products, continuous improvements, and cost savings initiatives in manufacturing processes. For the full year 2019, capital expenditures are now expected to be approximately $60 to $70 million.

Real Estate Transaction - In the first quarter of 2018, the Corporation entered into a sale-leaseback transaction, selling a manufacturing facility and subsequently leasing back a portion of the facility for a term of 10 years. The net proceeds from the sale of the facility of $16.9 million are reflected in "Proceeds from sale of property, plant, equipment" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See "Note 6. Leases" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Cash Flow – Financing Activities

Long-Term Debt - The Corporation maintains a revolving credit facility as the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures, strategic initiatives, and seasonal working capital needs. Cash flows included in financing activities represent periodic borrowings and repayments under the revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of 2018, the Corporation issued $100 million of private placement notes. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. See "Note 9. Long-Term Debt" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Dividend - The Corporation is committed to maintaining or modestly growing the quarterly dividend. Cash dividends declared and paid per common share were as follows (in dollars):



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2019		September 29, 2018		September 28, 2019		September 29, 2018
Dividends per common share	$	0.305	$	0.295	$	0.905	$	0.875

During the third quarter, the Board declared the regular quarterly cash dividend on August 6, 2019. The dividend was paid on September 3, 2019 to shareholders of record on August 16, 2019. This was a 3.4 percent per share increase over the comparable prior year quarterly dividend paid on September 4, 2018.

Stock Repurchase - The Corporation’s capital strategy related to stock repurchase is focused on offsetting the dilutive impact of issuances for various compensation related matters. The Corporation may elect to opportunistically purchase additional shares based on excess cash generation and/or share price considerations. The Board authorized $200 million on November 9, 2007 and an additional $200 million each on November 7, 2014 and February 13, 2019 for repurchases of the Corporation’s common stock. As of September 28, 2019, approximately $183.7 million of the authorizations remain unspent.

The following table summarizes shares repurchased and settled by the Corporation (in thousands, except per share data):



	Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2019			September 29, 2018
Shares repurchased	1,797			369
Average price per share	$	36.09		$	40.36

Cash purchase price	$	(64,877	)	$	(14,884	)
Purchases unsettled as of quarter end	125			222
Prior year purchases settled in current year	(354		)	(1,381		)
Shares repurchased per cash flow	$	(65,106	)	$	(16,043	)

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, coupled with cash flow from future operations, borrowing capacity under the existing credit agreement, and the ability to access capital markets, are expected to be adequate to fund operations and satisfy cash flow needs for at least the next twelve months. Additionally, based on current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization generation, the Corporation can access the full remaining $310 million of borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility and maintain compliance with applicable covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Corporation's financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

Contractual obligations associated with ongoing business and financing activities will result in cash payments in future periods. A table summarizing the amounts and estimated timing of these future cash payments was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Corporation's contractual obligations or the estimated timing of the future cash payments during the first nine months of 2019.

Commitments and Contingencies

See "Note 17. Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments affecting the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Corporation continually evaluates its accounting policies and estimates. The Corporation bases its estimates on historical experience and on a variety of other assumptions believed by management to be reasonable in order to make judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the more significant accounting policies requiring the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, Topic 326). Topic 326 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses by requiring consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information and is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments. Topic 326 becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2020 and requires a cumulative effect adjustment in retained earnings as of the beginning of the year

of adoption. The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect Topic 326 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Looking Ahead

Management remains optimistic about the long-term prospects in the office furniture and hearth products markets. Management believes the Corporation continues to compete well and remains confident the investments made in the business will continue to generate strong returns for shareholders.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this report to the extent they are not statements of historical or present fact, including statements as to plans, outlook, objectives, and future financial performance, are "forward-looking" statements, within the meaning of Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
