Delivered strong quarter; One Interface strategy continues to drive results

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2025-- Interface, Inc. (Nasdaq: TILE), a worldwide commercial flooring company and global leader in sustainability, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2025.

First quarter highlights:

• Net sales totaled $297 million, up 2.6% year-over-year and up 4.1% currency-neutral.
• GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.22; Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.25.
• Momentum continues with One Interface strategy.

“We delivered a solid start to the year, with currency-neutral net sales growth of 4% year-over-year. Strong momentum continued in the Americas, where net sales grew 6% and currency-neutral orders were up 10%, partially offset by a softer macro environment in EAAA. Global billings in both Healthcare and Education grew double digits demonstrating the power of our strategy that continues to diversify and strengthen our business,” commented Laurel Hurd, CEO of Interface.

“Our first quarter performance highlights the ongoing success of our One Interface strategy, which aims to accelerate growth, expand margins, and lead in design, performance, and sustainability. To further these goals, we recently named our first Vice President of Global Product Category Management to accelerate and optimize our product innovation pipeline, ensuring we continue to deliver world-class products that meet the evolving needs of the market while embodying the essence of Interface,” continued Hurd.

“First quarter results exceeded our expectations, reflecting our team’s disciplined execution amid a dynamic macroeconomic backdrop. We are navigating the current environment from a position of strength, as our One Interface strategy continues to yield tangible results, and our strong balance sheet provides optionality and flexibility. We remain focused on delivering long-term value for our shareholders,” added Bruce Hausmann, CFO of Interface.

Outlook

Interface is forecasting a strong second quarter and remains focused on delivering a strong year amid a dynamic macro environment and increased global macro uncertainty. Order momentum and a healthy backlog support the Company's expectations for a strong second quarter. With that backdrop in mind, Interface anticipates the following:

The impacts of changes in foreign currency presented in the tables are calculated based on applying the prior year period's average foreign currency exchange rates to the current year period.

The Company believes that the above non-GAAP performance measures, which management uses in managing and evaluating the Company’s business, may provide users of the Company’s financial information with additional meaningful basis for comparing the Company’s current results and results in a prior period, as these measures reflect factors that are unique to one period relative to the comparable period. However, these non‑GAAP performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Tax effects identified above (when applicable) are calculated using the statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the charge or income occurred.
