Revenue grew 7 percent in the first quarter compared to the prior year and grew 7 percent on an organic basis, including 9 percent organic growth in the Americas and a 1 percent organic decline in International. The Americas growth was driven by a higher beginning backlog compared to the prior year and included strong growth from large corporate, government and healthcare customers. The International decline was driven by Germany and France, mostly offset by growth in India, the UK and China.
Orders (adjusted for currency translation effects) declined modestly in the first quarter compared to the prior year and included a 1 percent decline in the Americas and 1 percent growth in International. The Americas reflected growth from large corporate customers offset by declines from government and education customers. In the prior year, the Americas posted 10 percent growth compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. In International, strong growth in India, China and Central Europe was mostly offset by declines in Germany and France.
'Our first quarter results were a great start to the year,' said Sara Armbruster, president and CEO. 'We delivered strong revenue growth, led by our large corporate customers who are investing to reimagine their workplaces. As organizations bring people together in new ways, they are turning to Steelcase to create spaces that support connection, creativity and performance. While external factors are impacting a few parts of our business, the majority of our businesses and geographies are performing well. We remain confident in our strategy and focused on delivering value to our customers.'

Operating income of $25.5 million in the first quarter represented an increase of $7.9 million compared to the prior year. Adjusted operating income of $39.0 million in the first quarter represented an increase of $10.8 million compared to the prior year, including an improvement of $14.3 million in the Americas, primarily driven by higher revenue, and a $3.5 million decline in International, primarily driven by a lower mix of small-to-medium sized business in Germany and France.
'During the first quarter, we initiated restructuring actions in the Americas (including salaried headcount reductions and the elimination of open job requisitions targeting approximately $20 million of annualized spending). Our fiscal 2026 targets that we shared in March reflected the expected benefits of these actions, which were taken to prioritize investments in our strategic initiatives and growth areas,' said Dave Sylvester, senior vice president and CFO. 'In addition, we have initiated procedures with applicable unions and works councils in Europe as part of actions which are targeted to further reduce our cost structure in response to weak macroeconomic factors and lower demand in Germany and France. These actions are in support of our broader goal to improve profitability in our International segment.'
Gross margin of 33.9 percent in the first quarter represented an improvement of 170 basis points compared to the prior year, driven by higher volume in the Americas, $6 million of lower restructuring costs, and benefits from cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by approximately $7 million of higher tariff costs, net of pricing benefits, in the Americas.
Operating expenses of $230.1 million in the first quarter represented an increase of $12.6 million compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by approximately $7.2 million of higher employee costs, $5.1 million of higher variable compensation expense and approximately $2 million of unfavorable currency translation effects.
Other expense, net of $3.3 million in the first quarter represented a decrease of $3.6 million compared to other income, net in the prior year, primarily due to foreign exchange losses.
Total liquidity, which is comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and the cash surrender value of company-owned life insurance, aggregated to $391.5 million at the end of the first quarter and represented an increase of $13.7 million compared to the prior year. Total debt was $447.3 million. Trailing four quarter adjusted EBITDA was $265.8 million, or 8.3 percent of revenue.
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, to be paid on or before July 21, 2025, to shareholders of record as of July 7, 2025.
Outlook
At the end of the first quarter, the company's backlog was approximately $801 million, which was 2 percent higher than the prior year. The company expects second quarter fiscal 2026 revenue to be in the range of $860 to $890 million. The company reported revenue of $855.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The projected revenue range translates to approximately flat to growth of 4 percent, compared to the prior year, or approximately flat to growth of 3 percent on an organic basis. The company expects to report earnings per share of between $0.27 to $0.31 for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, which includes the impact of amortization of purchased intangible assets and projected restructuring costs, and adjusted earnings per share of between $0.36 to $0.40. The company reported earnings per share of $0.53 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.39 in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
The second quarter estimates include:
gross margin of approximately 33.0 to 33.5 percent, which includes an assumption that higher tariff costs and inflation of approximately $20 million will be offset by higher pricing benefits in the Americas as compared to the prior year,
projected operating expenses of between $230 to $235 million,
projected interest expense, net of investment income and other income, net, of approximately $3 million, and
a projected effective tax rate of approximately 27 percent.
'I am proud of our teams around the world for their strong execution and continuing the momentum we built in fiscal 2025,' said Armbruster. 'Our customer conversations remain very active, including at the recent Design Days and Neocon events in Chicago, where many arrived prepared to move forward with final design decisions for their projects. These interactions reinforce the trust our customers place in us and the relevance of our solutions in a changing world of work.'

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A 'non-GAAP financial measure' is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the condensed consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures used are (1) organic revenue growth (decline), (2) adjusted operating income (loss), (3) adjusted earnings per share and (4) adjusted EBITDA. The company has provided a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the tables above. These measures are supplemental to, and should be used in conjunction with, the most comparable GAAP measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends.The company defines organic revenue growth (decline) as revenue growth (decline) excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, foreign currency translation effects and the impact of the additional week in the fourth quarter of 2025. Organic revenue growth (decline) is calculated by adjusting prior year revenue to include revenues of acquired companies prior to the date of the company's acquisition, to exclude revenues of divested companies, to use current year average exchange rates in the conversion of foreign-denominated revenue and to exclude the estimated revenues associated with the additional week in the fourth quarter of 2025. The company believes organic revenue growth (decline) is a meaningful metric to investors as it provides a more consistent comparison of the company's revenue to prior periods as well as to industry peers.The company defines adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring costs (benefits) and gains (losses) on the sale of land, net of variable compensation impacts. The company defines adjusted earnings per share as earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring costs (benefits), gains (losses) on the sale of land, net of variable compensation impacts, and gains (losses) on pension plan settlements, and the related income tax effects of these items.
Amortization of purchased intangible assets: The company may record intangible assets (such as backlog, dealer relationships, trademarks, know-how and designs and proprietary technology) when it acquires companies. The company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value estimates for these intangible assets require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which include the useful lives of intangible assets. The company believes that adjusting for amortization of purchased intangible assets provides a more consistent comparison of its operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Restructuring costs (benefits): Restructuring costs (benefits) may be recorded as the company's business strategies change or in response to changing market trends and economic conditions. The company believes that adjusting for restructuring costs (benefits), which are primarily associated with business exit and workforce reduction costs, provides a more consistent comparison of its operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Gains (losses) on the sale of land, net of variable compensation impacts: The company may sell land when conditions are favorable. Gains and losses on the sale of land may increase or decrease, respectively, variable compensation expense. The company believes adjusting for these items provides a more consistent comparison of its operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Gains (losses) on pension plan settlements: The company realizes gains or losses previously reported as unrealized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Other income (expense), net, in connection with pension plan settlements when all risks related to the benefit obligations to plan participants and plan assets are transferred. The company believes adjusting for the gains or losses on pension plan settlements provides a more consistent comparison of its operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.The company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, restructuring costs (benefits), gains (losses) on the sale of land, net of variable compensation impacts, and gains (losses) on pension plan settlements. The company believes adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information regarding the operating profitability of the company as well as a useful comparison to other companies. EBITDA is a measurement commonly used in capital markets to value companies and is used by the company's lenders and rating agencies to evaluate its performance. The company adjusts EBITDA for share-based compensation as it represents a significant non-cash item which impacts its earnings. The company also adjusts EBITDA for restructuring costs, gains (losses) on the sale of land, net of variable compensation impacts, and gains (losses) on pension plan settlements to provide a more consistent comparison of its earnings to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Forward-looking Statements
From time to time, in written and oral statements, the company discusses its expectations regarding future events and its plans and objectives for future operations. These forward-looking statements discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or state other information relating to the company, based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the company. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as 'anticipate,' 'believe,' 'could,' 'estimate,' 'expect,' 'forecast,' 'intend,' 'may,' 'possible,' 'potential,' 'predict,' 'project," "target' or other similar words, phrases or expressions. Although the company believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based upon a number of assumptions concerning future conditions, any or all of which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and vary from the company's expectations because of factors such as, but not limited to, competitive and general economic conditions domestically and internationally; acts of terrorism, war, governmental action, natural disasters, pandemics and other Force Majeure events; cyberattacks; changes in the legal and regulatory environment; changes in raw material, commodity and other input costs; currency fluctuations; changes in customer demand; and the other risks and contingencies detailed in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Steelcase undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Genius Act explained: What the new Senate bill means for cryptocurrency investors

On June 17, the U.S. Senate officially passed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (Genius) Act, which will create a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins. The bill will now head to the House for review, with a final signature by President Donald Trump expected before the end of the summer. As might be expected, crypto market participants widely hailed the news, and stocks tied to stablecoins surged. Here's what you need to know. A genius move? The Genius Act will become the first major piece of crypto legislation passed by the Trump administration, which came into office promising a huge overhaul of the crypto sector. Previous actions, such as creation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, occurred only via executive order. The Genius Act legislation is important because it helps to define the playing field for stablecoins, which have been one of the fastest-growing sectors of the crypto market. In 2020, stablecoins were valued at about $20 billion; today, they're valued at $250 billion. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, they have the potential to be worth as much as $2 trillion in just a few years. What are stablecoins? Simply stated, stablecoins are digital currencies that are pegged 1:1 to the value of another asset. In 90% of the cases, stablecoins are pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. But there's no reason a stablecoin couldn't be pegged to, say, the Japanese yen. These stablecoins can be used to facilitate international trade, make digital payments, and participate in the world of decentralized finance (the blockchain version of traditional finance). The Treasury Department has even hinted that stablecoins could become a tool to reduce the nation's $37 trillion debt load and bolster the value of the dollar. Potential genius investment opportunities The good news is that there are several different ways to participate in this growing investment trend. The most obvious way, of course, is to invest in one of the top stablecoins. Right now, the two big stablecoins are Tether (CRYPTO: USDT) and USDC (CRYPTO: USDC), and together, they account for nearly 85% of the value of the $250 billion stablecoin industry. However, unless you're planning to participate in decentralized finance via new stablecoin yield strategies, you'll be holding an asset that will always be valued at $1. That's what makes these coins stable — they're always supposed to hold their value since they're backed by cash. For that reason, they're often referred to as digital dollars. The next option is to invest in one of the top stablecoin issuers. The popular pick right now is Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL), the issuer of the USDC stablecoin. On June 5, Circle went public via an initial public offering (IPO) and has been absolutely on fire since then. Circle is the only publicly traded pure-play stablecoin issuer, which helps to explain why investors just can't seem to get enough of it. However, other publicly traded companies have either launched stablecoins of their own or are planning to do so in the future. For example, PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) launched a stablecoin back in August 2023. And just as news was breaking about the passage of the Genius Act, the Wall Street Journal reported that both Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) are exploring stablecoins of their own. What could possibly go wrong? New stablecoin legislation is a big step forward for the crypto market. As Trump noted in a social media post, the legislation will make the U.S. the "UNDISPUTED Leader" when it comes to digital assets. The stablecoin industry looks ready to explode in value over the next few years, and the U.S. should be a key player. But here's the thing: Stablecoins — which are supposed to be stable — have the potential to be extraordinarily volatile. That's what happened during the previous crypto bull market rally, when a popular stablecoin (TerraUSD) suddenly lost its peg to the dollar, costing investors billions of dollars and causing a cascading series of events that eventually contributed to the so-called crypto winter of 2022. Moreover, potential conflicts of interest could cause investors to lose faith in stablecoins. It's important to note that World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture affiliated with the Trump family, recently launched a stablecoin of its own. That has some politicians — including some senators who voted against the Genius Act — asking very serious questions about stablecoins. Still, it's hard not to be excited about stablecoins. They seem poised to revolutionize the world of finance, and just about everyone — from Wall Street bankers to Washington politicians — seem to be embracing them. It doesn't take a genius to understand that investing in this new trend early could be one way to lock in impressive long-term returns.
