NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

April 2, 2016

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 January 2, 2016 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 three-month period ended April 2, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. 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 January 2, 2016.

Note 2. Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation measures stock-based compensation expense at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes expense over the employees' requisite service periods. For the three months ended April 2, 2016 the Corporation recognized $5.3 million of stock based compensation expense. For the three months ended April 4, 2015 the Corporation recognized $3.5 million of stock based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is the cost of stock options and time-based restricted stock units issued under the HNI Corporation 2007 Stock-Based Compensation Plan and shares issued under the HNI Corporation 2002 Members' Stock Purchase Plan. The Corporation granted stock options with fair values of $7.6 million and $6.5 million and time-based restricted stock units with adjusted fair values of $0.5 million and $1.1 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015, respectively.

At April 2, 2016, there was $5.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options, which the Corporation expects to recognize over a weighted-average remaining service period of 1.5 years and $1.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock units, which the Corporation expects to recognize over a weighted-average remaining service period of 1.2 years.

Note 3. Inventories

The Corporation values its inventory at the lower of cost or market with approximately 75% valued by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") costing method.



(In thousands)	April 2, 2016			January 2, 2016
(In thousands)	April 2, 2016			January 2, 2016
Finished products	$	91,794		$	68,478

Note 4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Shareholders' Equity

The following table summarizes the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, as applicable for the three months ended April 2, 2016:



(In thousands)	Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment		Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Marketable Securities			Pension Postretirement Liability			Derivative Financial Instruments			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Balance at January 2, 2016	$	322	$	(2	)	$	(5,506	)	$	—		$	(5,186	)
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications	157		50						(582		)	(375		)

Balance at April 2, 2016	$	479	$	48		$	(5,506	)	$	(523	)	$	(5,502	)

All amounts are net-of tax. Amounts in parentheses indicate debits.

In March 2016, the Corporation entered in to 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 pays a fixed rate of 1.29 percent and receives 1 month LIBOR on a $150 million notional value expiring January 2021. As of April 2, 2016, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap was a liability of $0.8 million reported net of tax as $0.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The following table details the reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 (in thousands):



		Three Months Ended

	Net of tax	$	—		$	(462	)
Net		$	(59	)	$	(462	)

Amounts in parentheses indicate reductions to profit.

During the three months ended April 2, 2016, the Corporation repurchased 49,400 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $1.7 million. As of April 2, 2016, $191.0 million of the Corporation's Board of Directors' ("Board") current repurchase authorization remained unspent.

During the three months ended April 2, 2016, the Corporation paid dividends to shareholders of $0.265 per share.

Note 5. Earnings Per Share

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"):



	Three Months Ended
(In thousands, except per share data)	April 2, 2016		April 4, 2015
Numerators:
Numerator for both basic and diluted EPS attributable to HNI Corporation net income	$	11,843	$	8,478
Denominators:
Denominator for basic EPS weighted-average common shares outstanding	44,258		44,304
Potentially dilutive shares from stock-based compensation plans	782		1,220
Denominator for diluted EPS	45,040		45,524
Earnings per share – basic	$	0.27	$	0.19
Earnings per share – diluted	$	0.26	$	0.19

The weighted average common stock equivalents presented above do not include the effect of 1,446,530 and 268,494 common stock equivalents for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015, respectively, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Note 6. Restructuring

As a result of the Corporation's ongoing business simplification and structural cost transformation strategies, the Corporation has closed, consolidated, and realigned a number of its facilities. Restructuring costs associated with these activities during the quarters ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 were $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

The following is a summary of changes in restructuring accruals during the three months ended April 2, 2016.



(In thousands)	Severance			Facility Exit Costs & Other			Total
Balance as of January 2, 2016	$	206		$	15		$	221
Restructuring charges	416			670			1,086
Cash payments	(121		)	(670		)	(791		)
Balance as of April 2, 2016	$	501		$	15		$	516

The portion of the restructuring reserve expected to be paid in the next twelve months was $0.5 million as of April 2, 2016 and is included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The table below summarizes amortizable definite-lived intangible assets as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, which are reflected in the "Other Assets" line item in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:



	April 2, 2016						January 2, 2016
(In thousands)	Gross		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Gross		Accumulated Amortization		Net
Patents	$	18,645	$	18,617	$	28	$	18,645	$	18,615	$	30
Software	130,585		22,178		108,407		122,892		21,193		101,699
Trademarks and trade names	8,564		893		7,671		6,564		753		5,811
Customer lists and other	114,852		59,978		54,874		105,586		60,063		45,523
Net definite lived intangible assets	$	272,646	$	101,666	$	170,980	$	253,687	$	100,624	$	153,063

Aggregate amortization expense for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 was $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the following five fiscal years is as follows:



(In millions)	2016		2017		2018		2019		2020
Amortization expense	$	13.2	$	19.7	$	19.9	$	19.0	$	18.6

As events such as acquisitions, dispositions or impairments occur in the future, these amounts may change.

The Corporation also owns certain trademarks and trade names with a net carrying amount of $41.0 million as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016. These trademarks and trade names, which are reflected in the "Other Assets" line in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are deemed to have indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill since January 2, 2016 are as follows by reporting segment:



(In thousands)	Office Furniture			Hearth Products			Total
Balance as of January 2, 2016
Goodwill	$	149,718		$	183,199		$	332,917
Accumulated impairment losses	(55,124		)	(143		)	(55,267		)
Net goodwill balance as of January 2, 2016	94,594			183,056			277,650
Goodwill acquired	16,615			—			16,615
Foreign currency translation adjustments	(3		)	—			(3		)
Balance as of April 2, 2016
Goodwill	166,330			183,199			349,529
Accumulated impairment losses	(55,124		)	(143		)	(55,267		)
Net goodwill balance as of April 2, 2016	$	111,206		$	183,056		$	294,262

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. The Corporation estimates the fair value of its reporting units using various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow method. This method employs market participant based assumptions.

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 or workmanship. Reserves have been established for the various costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs.

A warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and an additional reserve for unknown claims that are expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows during the periods noted:



	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	April 2, 2016			April 4, 2015
Balance at beginning of period	$	16,227		$	16,719
Accruals for warranties issued during period	5,480			6,102
Adjustments related to pre-existing warranties	281			339
Settlements made during the period	(5,831		)	(6,381		)
Balance at end of period	$	16,157		$	16,779

The portion of the reserve for estimated settlements expected to be paid in the next twelve months was $8.1 million and $8.5 million as of April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015, respectively, and is included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The portion of the reserve for settlements expected to be paid beyond one year was $8.1 million and $8.3 million as of April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015, respectively, and is included in "Other Long-Term Liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9. Postretirement Health Care

The following table sets forth the components of net periodic benefit cost included in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for:



	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	April 2, 2016		April 4, 2015

Interest cost	211		204

Net periodic benefit cost	$	411	$	464

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Corporation's income tax provision for the three months ended April 2, 2016 was $5.9 million on pre-tax income of $17.7 million or an effective tax rate of 33.2 percent. For the three months ended April 4, 2015, the Corporation's income tax provision was $5.1 million on pre-tax income of $13.5 million or an effective tax rate of 37.5 percent. The effective tax rate was lower in the three months ended April 2, 2016 principally due to timing of the enactment of the R&D tax credit and change in mix related to foreign earnings.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities and derivative instruments. The marketable securities are comprised of government securities, corporate bonds and money market funds. 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.

Assets measured at fair value as of April 2, 2016 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)
Government securities	$	9,378		$	—	$	9,378		$	—
Corporate bonds	$	2,820		$	—	$	2,820		$	—
Derivative financial instruments	$	(1,667	)	$	—	$	(1,667	)	$	—

Assets measured at fair value as of January 2, 2016 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)
Government securities	$	9,663		$	—	$	9,663		$	—
Corporate bonds	$	2,405		$	—	$	2,405		$	—
Derivative financial instruments	$	(1,252	)	$	—	$	(1,252	)	$	—

In addition to the methods and assumptions the Corporation uses to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed above in this section, it uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents - Level 1

The carrying amount approximated fair value and includes money market funds.

Long-term debt (including current portion) - Level 2

The carrying value of the Corporation's outstanding variable-rate debt obligations at April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, the end of the Corporation's 2015 fiscal year, was $150 million and $40 million, respectively, which approximated the fair value. The fair value of the Corporation's outstanding fixed-rate, long-term debt obligations is estimated based on a discounted cash flow method to be $147 million at April 2, 2016 and $148 million at January 2, 2016, compared to the carrying value of $150 million. This debt is classified as long term on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 2, 2016 since the Corporation subsequently paid off its senior notes upon maturity on April 6, 2016 with revolving credit facility borrowings expected to remain outstanding for more than twelve months.

The Corporation, certain domestic subsidiaries of the Corporation, the lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, entered into the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") on January 6, 2016. The Credit Agreement amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 9, 2015.

The Credit Agreement was amended to increase the revolving commitment of the lenders from $250 million to $400 million (while retaining the Corporation's option under the Credit Agreement to increase its borrowing capacity by an additional $150 million) in order to provide funding for the pay off of its maturing senior notes on April 6, 2016 and to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from June 2020 to January 2021. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the Credit Agreement, which were classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the Credit Agreement.

As of April 2, 2016, there was $150 million outstanding under the $400 million revolving credit facility of which $45 million was classified as long-term since the Corporation does not expect to repay the borrowings within a year and the remaining $105 million was classified as current.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation utilizes letters of credit in the amount of $9 million to back certain insurance policies and payment obligations. The Corporation utilizes trade letters of credit and bankers acceptances in the amount of $3 million to guarantee certain payments to overseas suppliers. The letters of credit and bankers 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 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 13. New Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-05, Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The ASU applies to cloud computing arrangements including software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service, and other similar hosting arrangements, and was issued to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The ASU provides guidance about whether the arrangement includes a software license. The core principle of the ASU is that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance did not change U.S. GAAP for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. The Corporation adopted the guidance effective January 3, 2016, the beginning of the Corporation's 2016 fiscal year. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs in April 2015, which was further clarified by ASU No. 2015-15 in August 2015. The core principle of the ASUs is that an entity should present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the face amount of that debt in the balance sheet similar to the manner in which a debt discount or premium is presented, and not reflected as a deferred charge or deferred credit. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted and the effect of the change on the financial statement line item (that is, the debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). Debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements can still be presented as assets and subesquently amortized. The Corporation adopted the guidance effective January 3, 2016, the beginning of the Corporation's 2016 fiscal year. The guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

Note 14. Business 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 business segment.

The aggregated office furniture segment manufactures and markets a broad line of office furniture which includes storage products, desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, bookcases, classroom solutions, freestanding office partitions and panel systems and other related products. The hearth products segment manufactures and markets a broad line of manufactured gas, electric, wood and pellet fireplaces, inserts and stoves, facings and accessories.

For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales between segments are not material and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated corporate expenses. These unallocated corporate expenses include the net cost of the Corporation's corporate operations, interest income and interest expense. 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 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.

Reportable segment data reconciled to the Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended April 2, 2016, and April 4, 2015, is as follows:



	Three Months Ended

Note 15. Business Combinations

On January 29, 2016, the Corporation acquired a small office furniture company with annual sales of approximately $30 million at a purchase price of approximately $34 million, net of cash acquired. The Corporation will finalize the allocation of purchase price during 2016 based on final purchase price and fair value adjustments. Based on the preliminary allocation, there were approximately $13 million of intangible assets other than goodwill associated with this acquisition with estimated useful lives ranging from three to twelve years with amortization recorded on a straight line basis based on the projected cash flow associated with the respective intangible assets’ existing relationship. There was approximately $17 million of goodwill associated with this acquisition.

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

Overview

The Corporation is a leading global office furniture manufacturer and North America's leading manufacturer and marketer of gas and wood-burning fireplaces. The Corporation has two reportable segments: office furniture and hearth products. The Corporation utilizes a split and focused, decentralized business model to deliver value to customers through various brands and selling models. The Corporation is focused on growing existing businesses while seeking out and developing new opportunities for growth.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 decreased 4.3 percent to $501.0 million when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The change was driven by a decrease in organic sales across both the office furniture and hearth products segments. The office furniture segment sales are down due to strong prior year comparisons and a softer market environment. The hearth segment saw continued growth in the new construction channel offset by an ongoing decline in the retail pellet channel due to warm weather and low oil prices. Gross margin for the quarter increased from prior year levels due to strong operational performance, lower material costs, and price realization partially offset by lower volume. Total selling and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales due to higher incentive based compensation and strategic investments partially offset by broad based cost reductions.

In conjunction with previously announced closures, consolidation, and realignments, the Corporation recorded $2.9 million of restructuring and transition costs in the quarter ended April 2, 2016 of which $1.8 million were included in cost of sales. Transition costs include items such as equipment moves and facility transformations.

Results of Operations

The following table presents certain key highlights from the results of operations for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	April 2, 2016		April 4, 2015		Percent Change
Net sales	$	501,037	$	523,477	(4.3	)%
Cost of sales	315,326		338,977		(7.0	)%
Gross profit	185,711		184,500		0.7	%
Selling and administrative expenses	165,106		168,704		(2.1	)%
Restructuring charges	1,086		377		188.1	%
Operating income	19,519		15,419		26.6	%
Interest expense, net	1,796		1,899		(5.4	)%
Income before income taxes	17,723		13,520		31.1	%
Income taxes	5,881		5,068		16.0	%
Net income	$	11,842	$	8,452	40.1	%

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2016 decreased 4.3 percent or $22.4 million compared to the same quarter last year. The change was driven by a decrease in organic sales across both the office furniture and hearth products segments. The office furniture segment sales are down due to strong prior year comparisons and a softer market environment. The hearth segment saw continued growth in the new construction channel offset by an ongoing decline in the retail pellet channel due to warm weather and low oil prices.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2016 increased to 37.1 percent compared to 35.2 percent for the same quarter last year. The increase in gross margin was driven by strong operational performance, lower material costs, and price realization partially offset by lower volume. First quarter 2016 included $1.8 million of transition and restructuring costs related to previously announced closures and structural realignment. First quarter 2015 included $1.1 million of accelerated depreciation and transition costs related to previously announced closures.

Total selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 33.0 percent compared to 32.2 percent for the same quarter last year driven by higher incentive based compensation and strategic investments partially offset by lower volume. In the first quarter of 2016, the Corporation recorded $1.1 million in restructuring costs due to previously announced closures, consolidations, and realignments. First quarter 2015 included $0.4 million of restructuring costs on these activities.

Net income attributable to the Corporation was $11.8 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $8.5 million or $0.19 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2015.

Office Furniture

First quarter 2016 net sales for the office furniture segment decreased 4.9 percent or $20.1 million to $387.3 million from $407.4 million for the same quarter last year. Sales for the quarter decreased across both the supplies-driven and contract channels due to strong prior year comparisons and a softer market environment. First quarter 2016 operating profit increased 5.7 percent or $1.1 million to $21.3 million from $20.2 million in the prior year quarter as a result of strong operational performance, favorable material costs, price realization and cost reductions. These factors were partially offset by lower volume and higher incentive based compensation. In the first quarter of 2016, the office furniture segment recorded $1.7 million of restructuring and transition costs associated with previously announced facility closures. In the first quarter of 2015, the office furniture segment recorded $1.5 million of restructuring and transition costs for these closures.

Hearth Products

First quarter 2016 net sales for the hearth products segment decreased 2.0 percent or $2.4 million to $113.7 million from $116.0 million for the same quarter last year. Warm weather and low oil prices drove the decline in the retail pellet channel but were partially offset by continued growth in the new construction channel. Operating profit increased 0.5 percent or $0.1 million to $12.6 million compared to $12.5 million in the prior year quarter. Strong operational performance, favorable material costs and price realization were largely offset by lower volume and higher incentive based compensation. In the first quarter of 2016, the hearth products segment recorded $1.2 million of restructuring and transition costs associated with the closure of its Paris, Kentucky facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow – Operating Activities

Operating activities used $20.2 million of cash in the first three months of 2016 compared to $49.3 million used in the first three months of 2015. Working capital resulted in a $54.2 million use of cash in the first three months of the current fiscal year compared to a $80.9 million use of cash in the same period of the prior year. The decreased use of cash compared to prior year is due to lower Accounts Receivable as a result of timing and lower sales. Cash flow from operating activities is expected to be positive for the year.

Cash Flow – Investing Activities

Capital expenditures, including capitalized software, for the first three months of fiscal 2016 were $27.5 million compared to $28.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2015 and were primarily for tooling and equipment for new products, continuous improvements in manufacturing processes and the on-going implementation of an integrated information systems to support business process transformation. For the full year 2016, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $115 to $120 million.

Cash Flow – Financing Activities

The Corporation, certain domestic subsidiaries of the Corporation, the lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, entered into the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on January 6, 2016. The Credit Agreement amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 9, 2015.

The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement is the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, repurchases of common stock and certain working capital needs. Non-compliance with the various financial covenant ratios in the Credit Agreement could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings under the revolving credit facility, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding with respect to the revolving credit facility and/or increase the cost of borrowing.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants, including covenants requiring maintenance of the following financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter:


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


•	a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) 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, nonrecurring charges and all non-cash items increasing net income. At April 2, 2016, the Corporation was well 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 over the next twelve months.

In 2006, the Corporation refinanced $150 million of borrowings outstanding under its prior revolving credit facility with 5.54 percent, ten-year unsecured senior notes ("Senior Notes") due April 6, 2016 issued through the private placement debt market. Interest payments were due semi-annually on April 6 and October 6 of each year and the principal was due in a lump sum on April 6, 2016. The $150 million of indebtedness related to the Senior Notes was classified as long term as of April 2, 2016 since the Corporation subsequently paid off the Senior Notes upon maturity on April 6, 2016 as planned with $150 million of revolving credit facility borrowings expected to remain outstanding for more than twelve months.

On February 17 2016, the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.265 per share on the Corporation's common stock to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 29, 2016. The dividend was paid on March 7, 2016.

During the three months ended April 2, 2016, the Corporation repurchased 49,400 shares of common stock at a cost of $1.7 million, or an average price of $34.25 per share. As of April 2, 2016, $191.0 million of the Board's current repurchase authorization remained unspent.

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.

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 year ended January 2, 2016. With the exception of the debt refinancing as described in Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, 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 for the three months of fiscal 2016.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation is involved in various kinds of disputes and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business, including pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes and other claims. It is the Corporation's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that additional 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments that affect 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 that require 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 year ended January 2, 2016.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU requires companies to reevaluate when revenue is recorded on a transaction based upon newly defined criteria, either at a point in time or over time as goods or services are delivered. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates, and changes in those estimates. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2018, and allows for both retrospective and modified-retrospective methods of adoption. The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the updated standard will have on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires lesees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. Changes to the lessee accounting model may change key balance sheet measures and ratios, potentially affecting analyst expectations and compliance with financial covenants. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019, but may be adopted at any time, and requires a modified retrospective transition. The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07 Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. The new standard eliminates the requirement for an investor to retroactively apply the equity method when an increase in ownership interest in an investee triggers equity method accounting. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2017. The Corporation anticipates the standard will have an immaterial effect on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issue ASU No. 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard is intended to simplify accounting for share based employment awards to employees. Changes include: all excess tax benefits/deficiencies should be recognized as income tax expense/benefit; entities can make elections on how to account for forfeitures; and cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the cash flow statement. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2017. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

As of April 2, 2016, based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting. On January 29, 2016, the Corporation completed the acquisition of a small office furniture company. In conducting our evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, we have elected to exclude the acquisition from our evaluation as of April 2, 2016, as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
