Overview

MillerKnoll is a collective of dynamic brands that comes together to design the world we live in. From the spaces we make that help us live and work better, to how we manufacture our products, to the ways we solve challenges facing our customers and global community, design is our tool for creating positive impact. Our optimism leads us as we redefine modern for the 21st century, shaping a future that’s more sustainable, caring, and beautiful for all people and our planet.

The Company researches, designs, manufactures and distributes interior furnishings for use in various environments including residential, office, healthcare and educational settings, and provides related services that support organizations and individuals all over the world. The Company’s products are sold primarily through the following channels: independent contract furniture dealers, direct customer sales, owned and independent retailers, direct-mail catalogs, and the Company’s eCommerce platforms.

Powering the world's most dynamic design brands, MillerKnoll includes Herman Miller® and Knoll®, as well as Colebrook Bosson Saunders, Design Within Reach®, Edelman®, FilzFelt®, Geiger®, HAY®, Holly Hunt®, KnollTextiles®, Maharam®, Muuto®, NaughtOne®, and Spinneybeck®. MillerKnoll's corporate offices are located at 855 East Main Avenue, PO Box 302, Zeeland, Michigan, 49464-0302 and its telephone number is 616 654 3000. Unless otherwise noted or indicated by the context, all references to "MillerKnoll," "we," "our," "Company" and similar references are to MillerKnoll, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries. Further information relating to principles of consolidation is provided in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report.

Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: North America Contract, International Contract, and Global Retail. The Company also reports a corporate category consisting primarily of unallocated corporate expenses. For a more detailed description of the Company's segments, refer to Item 7 of this report.

Financial information relating to segments is provided in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report.

Description of Business

MillerKnoll is a global leader of design. Our brands have led conversations on design for over 100 years, and we continue to drive our industry forward with visionary thinking and a purposeful approach. The Company's principal business consists of the research, design, manufacture, selling and distribution of seating products, furniture systems, other freestanding furniture elements, textiles, leather, felt, home furnishings and related services.

The Company's ingenuity and design excellence create award-winning products and services, which have made the Company a leader in the design and development of furniture, furniture systems, textiles, leather, felt and related technology and acoustical solutions. This leadership is exemplified by the innovative concepts introduced by the Company in its broad array of product offerings.

The Company's furniture systems, seating, freestanding furniture, storage, casegoods, textile products, leather, felt, acoustic products and related services are used in (1) institutional environments including offices and related conference, lobby, and lounge areas and general public areas including transportation terminals; (2) health/science environments including hospitals, clinics and other healthcare facilities; (3) industrial and educational settings; and (4) residential and other environments.

The Company's products are marketed worldwide by its own sales staff, independent dealers and retailers, via its eCommerce websites, and through its owned Herman Miller, Design Within Reach ("DWR"), HAY, Knoll, and Muuto retail stores. Salespeople work with dealers, the architecture and design community, and directly with end-users. Independent dealerships concentrate on the sale of MillerKnoll products and some complementary product lines of other manufacturers. It is estimated that approximately 53.6% of the Company's sales in the fiscal year ended May 30, 2026, were made directly through independent dealers. The remaining sales were made directly to end-users, including federal, state and local governments and several business organizations by the Company's own sales staff, retail channels, or to independent retailers.

The Company is a recognized leader within its industry for the use, development, and integration of customer-centered technologies that enhance the reliability, speed, and efficiency of our customers' operations. This includes proprietary sales tools, interior design and product specification software, order entry and manufacturing scheduling and production systems, and direct connectivity to the Company's suppliers.

Raw Materials

The Company's manufacturing materials are available from a number of sources within North America, South America, Europe and Asia. The costs of certain direct materials used in the Company's manufacturing and assembly operations are sensitive to shifts in commodity market prices. In particular, the costs of steel, plastic, aluminum components and particleboard are sensitive to the market prices of commodities such as raw steel, aluminum, crude oil, lumber and resins. Increases in the market prices for these commodities can have an adverse impact on the Company's profitability. Further information regarding the impact of direct material costs on the Company's financial results is provided in Management's Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of this report, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company believes its intellectual property rights are an important component supporting the long-term success of its brands and its competitive position, and it strategically applies for, registers, and maintains its intellectual property rights in the United States and a number of foreign countries where such protection is available. These rights include patent, trademark, copyright and trade secrets, among other proprietary rights. The Company also maintains a robust intellectual property enforcement program to protect its intellectual property rights against third party infringements.

The Company and its subsidiaries hold many active utility and design patents in the United States as well as in a number of foreign countries. The Company has also registered various trademarks, including the name and stylized “Herman Miller” trademark, the “Herman Miller Circled Symbolic M” trademark, and the name and stylized “Knoll” trademark in the United States and many foreign countries, which it considers to be among its most valuable intellectual property rights.

The Company considers the following trademarks and any stylized depictions of its word marks to be among its most important trademarks for distinguishing the Company, its subsidiaries and its goods from those of others: MillerKnoll®, Herman Miller®, Knoll®, Maharam®, Geiger®, Design Within Reach®, DWR®, HAY®, NaughtOne®, Colebrook Bosson Saunders, Nemschoff®, Holly Hunt®, Vladimir Kagan®, Muuto®, FilzFelt®, Edelman®, Spinneybeck®, the Herman Miller “Circled Symbolic M” logo, Aeron®, Mirra®, Embody®, Setu®, Sayl®, Cosm®, Caper®, Eames®, Knoll Extra®, Knoll Luxe®, Knoll Studio®, KnollTextiles®, Remix®, Dividends®, Generation by Knoll®, Regeneration by Knoll®, MultiGeneration by Knoll®, Barcelona®, and Womb®, as well as trademark registrations and common law trade dress rights for the Company’s product designs such as the Eames® Lounge Chair and Ottoman, the Barcelona® lounge chair, the Womb® chair, the Nelson Platform bench, the Aeron® chair, the Embody® chairs, and many others.

Customer Base

The Company approximates that no single independent dealer accounted for more than 2% of the Company's net sales in the fiscal year ended May 30, 2026. The Company estimates that the largest customer accounted for $196.8 million, $197.4 million and $180.3 million of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. This represents approximately 5% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2026, 5% in fiscal 2025, and 5% in fiscal 2024. The Company's ten largest customers in the aggregate accounted for approximately 16% of net sales in fiscal 2026, 18% in fiscal 2025, and 16% in fiscal 2024.

Backlog of Unfilled Orders

As of May 30, 2026, the Company's backlog of unfilled orders was $678.8 million. At May 31, 2025, the Company's backlog totaled $761.3 million. It is expected that substantially all of the orders forming the backlog at May 30, 2026, will be filled during the next fiscal year. Many orders received by the Company are reflected in the backlog for only a short period while other orders request extended delivery dates and are carried in the backlog for up to one year. Accordingly, the backlog at any particular time does not necessarily indicate the level of net sales for a particular succeeding period.

Government Contracts

Other than standard provisions contained in contracts with the United States Government, the Company does not believe that any significant portion of its business is subject to material renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of government entities. The Company sells to the U.S. Government both through General Services Administration ("GSA") Multiple Award Schedule Contracts and through competitive bids. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule Contract pricing is principally based upon the Company's commercial price list in effect when the contract is initiated, rather than being determined on a cost-plus-basis. The Company is required to receive GSA approval to apply list price increases during the term of the Multiple Award Schedule Contract period.

Competition

All aspects of the Company's business are highly competitive. The Company competes largely on design, product and service quality, speed of delivery and product pricing. Although the Company is one of the largest furniture manufacturers in the world, it competes with manufacturers that have significant resources and sales as well as many smaller companies. The Company's most significant competitors are Haworth and HNI Corporation.

The Company also competes in the home furnishings industry, primarily against national, regional and independent home furnishings retailers who market high-craft furniture to end-user customers and the interior design community. These competitors include companies such as Arhaus, Inc., Crate & Barrel Holdings, Inc., RH, Room & Board, Inc., Wayfair Inc., and Williams-Sonoma, Inc. In this market, the Company competes primarily on design, product and service quality, speed of delivery and product pricing.

Research, Design and Development

The Company believes it draws great competitive strength from its research, design and development programs. Through research, the Company seeks to understand, define and clarify customer needs and problems. The Company designs innovative products and services that address customer needs and solve their problems. The Company uses both internal and independent research and design resources. Exclusive of royalty payments, the Company spent approximately $66.7 million, $60.7 million, and $62.0 million on design and research activities in fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Generally, royalties are paid to designers of the Company's products as the products are sold and are included in the Design and research line item within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Environmental Matters

The Company believes that a business must stand for more than just its products and services and the Company's people around the globe share a commitment to using business as a force for good.

Increased focus by overseas governmental authorities on environmental matters is likely to lead to new governmental initiatives, particularly in the area of climate change. While we cannot predict the precise nature of these initiatives, we expect that they may impact our business both directly and indirectly. Execution of the Company's sustainability strategy and efforts to comply with new regulations have increased, and are expected to continue to increase costs for the Company. Also, there is a possibility that governmental initiatives, or actual or perceived effects of changes in weather patterns, climate, or water resources could have a direct impact on the operations of the Company in ways we cannot predict at this time.

The Company monitors developments related to environmental matters and plans to respond to governmental initiatives in a timely and appropriate manner. The Company seeks to reduce the environmental impact of its global operations and design products with materials and processes that support its sustainability objectives.

Human Resources

The Company considers its employees to be amongst its competitive strengths. The Company has a focus on individual employee participation and incentives, believing that this emphasis has helped attract and retain a competent and engaged workforce. The Company's human resources group provides employee recruitment, education and development, as well as compensation planning and counseling. There have been no work stoppages or labor disputes in the Company's history. As of May 30, 2026, approximately 2% of the Company's employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements, most of whom are employees located in the United Kingdom, Italy, and Brazil.

As of May 30, 2026, the Company had approximately 10,544 employees. In addition to its employee workforce, the Company uses temporary labor to meet fluctuating demand in its manufacturing operations.

Community and Belonging

At MillerKnoll, we value being better together. We believe that our unique differences contribute to our collective success. We also respect that when we come together, we find more attributes that we share in common. We are committed to creating opportunities for all people. This includes people with a broad range of backgrounds, from locations around the globe, people with differing abilities, those from military backgrounds, as well as those who have long tenure with the Company or may be reentering the workforce for a variety of reasons. We are committed to supporting a culture of belonging that helps all individuals thrive. We believe that embracing varied perspectives contributes to an inclusive workplace and strengthens the communities where we live and work.

We continue to build belonging into our everyday practices by focusing on:

•An ongoing commitment to educate ourselves and integrate cultural competency across the organization;

•Driving a sense of belonging. We want to honor each individual employee as a valued member of our community, and ensure they feel fully seen, heard, understood and to feel connected to MillerKnoll in meaningful ways that matter to each person;

•Recruiting, developing, retaining, and promoting talent through concerted efforts that drive better results and support equal opportunity.

Compensation

The Company's policy is to competitively compensate all employees for their contributions and to appropriately reward and motivate employees to deliver our business goals. We do this, in part, by closely monitoring and benchmarking compensation matters and working to ensure that our programs provide our employees with the right features to provide for their families and prepare for retirement. We provide competitive health and welfare benefits and retirement savings plans. Retention of our talent is exceedingly important and drives how we design our programs.

International Operations

The Company's sales in international markets are made primarily to office and institutional customers as well as residential retail customers. The Company conducts business in the following major international markets: Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region.

The Company's products currently sold in international markets are manufactured primarily by controlled subsidiaries in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, China, Brazil, Mexico and India. A portion of the Company's products sold internationally are also manufactured by third-party suppliers. Sales are made through wholly owned subsidiaries or branches in Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Mexico, Australia, Singapore, Japan, China (including Hong Kong), India and Brazil. Additionally the Company's products are offered through independent dealer and retail channels in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region.

Additional information with respect to operations by geographic area appears in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report. Fluctuating exchange rates and factors beyond the control of the Company, such as tariff and foreign economic policies, may affect future results of international operations. Refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, for further discussion regarding the Company's foreign exchange risk.

Item 1A Risk Factors

The following risk factors and other information included in this report should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face; others, either unforeseen or currently deemed not material, may also have a negative impact on our Company. If any of the following occurs, our business, operating results, cash flows, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Business Related Risks

We may not be successful in implementing and managing our growth strategy.

We have established a growth strategy for the business based on a changing and evolving world. Through this strategy, we are focused on taking advantage of the changing composition of the office floor plate, the greater desire for customization from our customers, new technologies, and trends towards urbanization and working from home.

While we have confidence that our strategic plan reflects opportunities that are appropriate and achievable, and that we have anticipated and will manage the associated risks, there is the possibility that the strategy may not deliver the projected results due to inadequate execution, incorrect assumptions, sub-optimal resource allocation, or changing customer requirements.

To meet our goals, we believe we will be required to continually invest in the research, design, and development of new products and services, and there is no assurance that such investments will have commercially successful results.

Certain growth opportunities may require us to invest in acquisitions, alliances, and the startup of new business ventures. These investments, if available, may not perform according to plan and may involve the assumption of business, operational, or other risks that are new to our business.

Future efforts to expand our business may impact our ability to compete for business. It may also put the availability and/or value of our capital investments within these regions at risk. These expansion efforts expose us to operating environments with complex, changing, and in some cases, inconsistently-applied legal and regulatory requirements. Developing knowledge and understanding of these requirements poses a significant challenge, and failure to remain compliant with them could limit our ability to continue doing business in these locations.

Pursuing our strategic plan in new and adjacent markets, as well as within developing economies, will require us to find effective new channels of distribution. There is no assurance that we can identify or otherwise develop these channels of distribution.

Our executive leadership transition may adversely affect our ability to execute our strategy and maintain business momentum.

In June 2026, we announced the departure of our President and Chief Executive Officer and the appointment of our Chief Operating Officer as Interim Chief Executive Officer while the Board conducts a search for a permanent successor. Executive leadership transitions and searches can create uncertainty among employees, customers, dealers, suppliers, investors, and other stakeholders, and may disrupt management focus or delay decision-making. If we are unable to complete an effective transition, retain and motivate key leaders and employees, or maintain continuity in the execution of our strategic priorities, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We are unable to control the factors affecting consumer spending. Declines in consumer spending on furnishings could reduce demand for our products.

The operations of our Global Retail segment are sensitive to a number of factors that influence consumer spending, including general economic conditions, consumer disposable income, unemployment, inclement weather, availability of consumer credit, consumer debt levels, conditions in the housing market, interest rates, sales tax rates and rate increases, inflation, and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Adverse changes in these factors have reduced, and in the future may further reduce consumer demand for our products, resulting in reduced sales and profitability.

A number of factors that affect our ability to successfully implement our retail studio strategy, including opening new locations and closing existing studios, are beyond our control. These factors may harm our ability to increase the sales and profitability of our retail operations.

Approximately 36% of the sales within our Global Retail segment are transacted within our retail stores. Additionally, we believe our retail stores have a direct influence on the volume of business transacted through other channels, including our consumer eCommerce and direct-mail catalog platforms, as many customers utilize these physical spaces to view and experience products prior to placing an order online or through the catalog call center. Our ability to open additional stores or close existing stores successfully will depend upon a number of factors beyond our control, including, without limitation:

•general economic conditions;

•identification and availability of suitable locations;

•success in negotiating new leases and amending or terminating existing leases on acceptable terms;

•success of other retailers in and around our retail locations;

•ability to secure required governmental permits and approvals;

•hiring and training skilled studio operating personnel; and

•landlord financial stability.

Costs related to product defects could adversely affect our profitability.

We incur various expenses related to product defects, including product warranty costs, product recall and retrofit costs, and product liability costs. These expenses relative to product sales vary and could increase. We maintain reserves for product defect-related costs based on estimates and our knowledge of circumstances that indicate the need for such reserves. We cannot, however, be certain that these reserves will be adequate to cover actual product defect-related claims in the future. Any significant increase in the rate of our product defect expenses could have a material adverse effect on operations.

Macroeconomic and Workplace Trends Related Risks

Adverse economic and industry conditions have had a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Customer demand within the contract furniture and retail furnishings industries is affected by various macroeconomic factors with general corporate profitability, service sector employment levels, new office construction rates, and existing office vacancy rates being among the most influential factors. Continued declines in these measures over recent years have had an adverse effect on overall furniture demand. Additionally, factors and changes specific to our industry, such as developments in technology, governmental standards and regulations, and health and safety issues, can influence demand.

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and we may not be successful in winning new business.

We are one of several companies competing for new business within the furniture industry. Many of our competitors offer similar categories of products, including office seating, systems and freestanding furniture, casegoods, storage products, as well as residential, education and healthcare furniture solutions. Although we believe that our innovative product design, functionality, quality, depth of knowledge, and strong network of distribution partners differentiate us in the marketplace, increased market pricing pressure and other factors could make it difficult for us to win new business with certain customers and within certain market segments at acceptable profit margins.

The retail furnishings market is highly competitive. We compete with national and regional furniture retailers, mail order catalogs and online retailers focused on home furnishings. We compete with these and other retailers for customers, suitable retail locations, vendors, qualified employees and management personnel. Some of our competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we possess. This may result in these competitors being quicker at important metrics such as adapting to changes, devoting greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products, generating greater national brand recognition, or adopting more aggressive pricing and promotional policies, including free shipping offers. In addition, increased catalog mailings and/or digital marketing campaigns by our competitors may adversely affect response rates to our own marketing efforts. As a result, increased competition may adversely affect our future financial performance.

Artificial intelligence and agentic commerce could transform our industry and business model, and our failure to adopt, integrate, and optimize these capabilities could adversely affect our competitive position.

The increasing use of artificial intelligence, including generative AI and autonomous or agentic commerce tools, may materially change how customers identify, evaluate, specify, purchase, and manage furniture and workplace solutions. These technologies could alter customer expectations, affect the role of dealers, designers, and digital channels, and change competitive dynamics in our industry. If competitors, customers, dealers, suppliers, or other market participants adopt AI-enabled tools more quickly or effectively than we do, or if AI-enabled platforms disintermediate existing sales channels or influence purchasing decisions in ways that do not favor our brands, product portfolio, or pricing, our sales, margins, and customer relationships could be adversely affected.

We are investing in technology and digital capabilities, and we may increase our use of AI tools in areas such as customer experience, product specification, operations, supply chain, marketing, data analytics, and other business processes. These initiatives may require significant investment and may not produce the expected benefits. Our use of AI may also increase risks related to inaccurate or biased outputs, insufficient governance, data privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, confidentiality, regulatory compliance, employee misuse, third-party tool availability, and reputational harm. If we do not responsibly and effectively adopt, integrate, and optimize AI capabilities, or if our governance and controls do not keep pace with evolving technology, customer expectations, or legal requirements, our business, results of operations, and reputation could be adversely affected.

Our business presence outside the United States exposes us to certain risks that could negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We have significant manufacturing and sales operations outside of the United States. Concerns exist relating to imposed and potential tariffs and customs regulations and the potential for short term logistics disruption as any such changes are implemented. This will impact both our suppliers and customers, including distributors, and could result in product delays and inventory issues. Further uncertainty in the marketplace also brings risk to accounts receivable and could result in delays in collection and greater bad debt expense. There also remains a risk for the value of the British Pound, Danish Krone, and/or the Euro to further deteriorate, reducing the purchasing power of customers in these regions and potentially undermining the financial health of the Company's suppliers and customers in other parts of the world.

We have manufacturing operations in the United Kingdom, China, India, Italy, Canada, Mexico and Brazil. Additionally, our products are sold internationally through controlled subsidiaries or branches in Canada, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Australia, China (including Hong Kong), India, Brazil, and other European countries. The Company's products are offered in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Asia/Pacific region primarily through dealers and retail channels.

Doing business internationally exposes us to certain risks, many of which are beyond our control and could potentially impact our ability to design, develop, manufacture, or sell products in certain countries. These factors include, without limitation, political, social, and economic conditions; global trade conflicts and trade policies; legal and regulatory requirements; labor and employment practices; cultural practices and norms; natural disasters; security and health concerns; protection of intellectual property; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

In some countries, the currencies in which we import and export products can differ. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between these currencies could negatively impact our business and our financial performance. Additionally, tariff and import regulations, international tax policies and rates, and changes in U.S. and international monetary policies have had, and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on results of operations and financial condition.

A sustained downturn in the economy has and could adversely impact our access to capital.

Previous disruptions in the global economic and financial markets have adversely impacted the broader financial and credit markets, at times reducing the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole. Conditions such as these could re-emerge in the future. Accordingly, our ability to access the capital markets could be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to access those markets, which could have an adverse impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. The resulting lack of available credit, increased volatility in the financial markets and reduced business activity could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to take advantage of market opportunities and our ability to obtain and manage our liquidity. In addition, the cost of debt financing and the proceeds of equity financing may be materially and adversely impacted by these market conditions. The extent of any impact would depend on several factors, including our operating cash flows, the duration of tight credit conditions and volatile equity markets, our credit capacity, the cost of financing, and other general economic and business conditions. Our credit agreements contain performance covenants, such as a limit on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and limits on subsidiary debt and incurrence of liens. Although we believe none of these covenants is currently restrictive to our operations, our ability to meet the financial covenants can be affected by events beyond our control.

Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Distribution Related Risks

We expect changes to U.S. trade policy, including new or increased tariffs, changing import/export regulations, and uncertainty regarding potential tariff refunds, to continue to affect our operating results.

Changes in U.S. or international social, political, regulatory, or economic conditions, including laws and policies governing foreign trade, tariffs, customs, and import/export regulations, and any potential negative sentiment toward the U.S. as a result of such changes, have affected and could continue to materially and adversely affect our business. The U.S. has instituted, and may continue to institute or modify, trade policies that include the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, the imposition of higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., and other government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries (such as Canada, Mexico, China, and the European Union) where we conduct our business. Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers, bilateral trade frictions, and related uncertainty may materially and adversely affect our supply chain, customer demand, financial performance, and results of operations.

Tariffs and tariff-related uncertainty have affected, and may continue to affect, the cost and availability of steel, plastic, aluminum components, particleboard, and other raw materials, components, and finished goods that we use or source. Tariff-related costs, net of pricing actions taken to help offset costs, adversely impacted gross margin during the first half of fiscal 2026. Although we have implemented mitigation actions, including pricing actions and tariff surcharges, these actions may not fully offset increased costs, may reduce customer demand, may be delayed by contractual limitations or competitive pressures, and may not protect us from additional or retaliatory trade measures.

During fiscal 2026, court rulings created the potential for importers to seek refunds of certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and we have submitted, and/or intend to submit, claims for refunds on substantially all IEEPA tariffs paid that may be eligible for recovery. However, uncertainty remains regarding the ultimate resolution of the related legal proceedings, including the U.S. government’s appeal, and the amount and timing of any refunds that may be realized remain uncertain. Even if we ultimately recognize refunds, the tariff environment may remain volatile, and

new, modified, or retaliatory tariffs or other trade measures could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Global geopolitical instability could indirectly affect our supply chain, costs, and results of operations.

Current and potential future geopolitical conflicts, including in the Middle East and involving Russia and Ukraine, as well as broader political instability and governmental responses to these events, may affect the global markets in which we do business. Although our direct sales exposure in currently affected regions may not be material, these events can indirectly affect our operations and financial results through disruption to global supply chains, volatility in energy prices, increased freight and logistics costs, constraints on petroleum-based products and other raw materials, inflationary pressure, changes in customer demand, foreign currency volatility, and increased cybersecurity threats.

The duration, severity, and ultimate impact of geopolitical instability cannot be predicted with any reasonable degree of certainty. If these conditions persist, broaden, or intensify, they could adversely affect our supply chain, cost structure, ability to produce and distribute products, business strategies, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Disruptions in the supply of raw and component materials could adversely affect our manufacturing and assembly operations.

We rely on outside suppliers to provide on-time shipments of the various raw materials and component parts used in our manufacturing and assembly processes. The timeliness of these deliveries is critical to our ability to meet customer demand. Disruptions in this flow of delivery may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Increases in the market prices of manufacturing materials may negatively affect our profitability.

The costs of certain manufacturing materials used in our operations are sensitive to shifts in commodity market prices, including the impact of the U.S. and retaliatory tariffs. In particular, the costs of steel, plastic, aluminum components, and particleboard are sensitive to the market prices of commodities such as raw steel, aluminum, crude oil, lumber, and resins.

Disruptions within our dealer network could adversely affect our business.

Our ability to manage existing relationships within our network of independent dealers is crucial to our ongoing success. Although the loss of any single dealer would not have a material adverse effect on the overall business, our business within a given market could be negatively impacted by disruptions in our dealer network caused by the termination of commercial working relationships, ownership transitions, or dealer financial difficulties.

If dealers go out of business or restructure, we may suffer losses because they may not be able to pay for products already delivered to them. Also, dealers may experience financial difficulties, creating the need for outside financial support, which may not be easily obtained. The Company has, on occasion, agreed to provide direct financial assistance through term loans, lines of credit, and/or loan guarantees to certain dealers. Those activities increase our financial exposure.

A shortage of qualified labor could negatively affect our business and materially reduce earnings.

The future success of our operations depends on our ability, and the ability of third parties on which we rely, to identify, recruit, develop and retain qualified and talented individuals in order to supply and deliver our products. Any shortage of qualified labor could have a negative impact on our business. Employee recruitment, development and retention efforts that we or such third parties undertake may not be successful, which could result in a shortage of qualified individuals in future periods. Any such shortage could decrease our ability to effectively produce and meet customer demand. Such a shortage would also likely lead to higher wages for employees (or higher costs to purchase the services of such third parties) and a corresponding reduction in our results of operations.

Financial Related Risks

Our indebtedness and related covenants could adversely affect our financial flexibility and ability to operate our business.

The consolidated long-term debt of MillerKnoll as of May 30, 2026, was $1.26 billion. Our level of indebtedness increases demands on cash resources, may reduce funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes, and may reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions. The agreements governing our indebtedness also contain covenants that, subject to exceptions, restrict our ability and the ability of certain subsidiaries to take specified actions, including incurring liens or additional indebtedness, entering into sale and lease-back transactions, making certain investments or asset sales, declaring or paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases or

other equity distributions, merging or consolidating, or selling or conveying certain assets. If we fail to comply with these covenants, and any default is not cured or waived, our repayment obligations could be accelerated. We may also need additional financing to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other general corporate requirements, and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges may adversely affect our operating results.

We have a substantial amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, primarily trademarks, on our balance sheet. We test the goodwill and intangible assets for impairment both on an annual basis and when events occur or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit or intangible asset may be below its carrying amount. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to inherent uncertainties and changes in estimates and assumptions regarding actual and forecasted revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates, and royalty rates. Declines in market conditions, a trend of weaker than anticipated financial performance for our reporting units, declines in projected revenue for our trademarks, a decline in our share price for a sustained period of time, an increase in the market-based weighted average cost of capital, or a decrease in royalty rates, among other factors, are indicators that the carrying value of our goodwill or indefinite-life intangible assets may not be recoverable. We may be required to record a goodwill or intangible asset impairment charge that, if incurred, could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Although no impairment was recognized in fiscal 2026, the current-year quantitative goodwill impairment assessment indicated limited cushion for certain reporting units, including International Contract, Global Retail, and Coverings, whose fair values exceeded carrying values by 3.1%, 1.1%, and 8.5%, respectively. Certain indefinite-lived trade name assets also had limited cushion, including the Knoll and Muuto trade name assets, whose fair values exceeded carrying values by 6.8% and 2.1%, respectively. As a result, relatively modest adverse changes in projected revenue growth, operating margins, royalty rates, discount rates, or other valuation assumptions could result in material impairment charges.

Impairment of long-lived assets may adversely affect our operating results.

Our long-lived asset groups are subject to an impairment assessment when certain triggering events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds our estimate of future undiscounted cash flows of the operations related to the asset group, an impairment is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset group. The results of these tests for potential impairment may be adversely affected by unfavorable market conditions, our financial performance trends, or an increase in interest rates, among other factors. If as a result of the impairment test we determine that the fair value of any of our long-lived asset groups is less than its carrying amount, we may incur an impairment charge that could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

We are subject to risks associated with self-insurance related to certain liabilities and employee benefits.

We are partially self-insured for general liability, workers’ compensation, and certain employee health and dental benefits under insurance arrangements that provide for third-party coverage of claims exceeding our loss retention levels, and our health benefit and auto liability retention levels do not include an aggregate stop loss policy. Unforeseen or catastrophic losses, changes in medical costs, legal actions, payment lag times or actual claims experience could cause our self-insurance estimates to change and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

General Risks

We are subject to risks and potential costs associated with disruption to our technology systems and our ability to maintain and update those systems to support growth initiatives and increasing business complexity.

Our business is increasingly dependent on complex information technology systems, including our ERP systems, order entry, manufacturing scheduling, production, eCommerce, financial reporting, human resources, supplier connectivity, and other systems that support our operations and growth initiatives. These systems may be disrupted by system failures, implementation difficulties, integration issues, power or telecommunications outages, natural disasters, human error, third-party service provider failures, cybersecurity events, or other causes. If we experience difficulties maintaining or operating existing systems or implementing new systems, or if we are unable to successfully modernize legacy systems in a coordinated manner across internal and external stakeholders, we could experience business interruption, operational delays, manufacturing or distribution disruption, financial reporting or internal control issues, increased costs, reputational harm, and other adverse impacts.

We also rely on information technology systems and processes to collect, process, store, and transmit business, supplier, customer, employee, and other data. If our systems, processes, or controls are not adequate to protect or appropriately manage such data, including data received from or relating to suppliers and other third parties, we could be subject to operational

disruption, contractual claims, regulatory inquiries, litigation, remediation costs, reputational harm, or loss of confidence by customers, suppliers, dealers, employees, and other stakeholders.

We are subject to cybersecurity and data security risks that could compromise our systems, data, operations, and reputation.

We, our vendors, and other third parties on which we rely are subject to evolving and increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats, including threats from criminal hackers, ransomware operators, phishing and social engineering schemes, insiders, hacktivists, and nation-state or state-sponsored actors, including actors associated with areas of geopolitical instability such as Iran. These actors may attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or data; misappropriate assets, confidential information, intellectual property, or personal information; introduce malware or corrupt data; extort payments; disrupt our operations, supply chain, eCommerce websites, retail studios, manufacturing, distribution, or financial reporting processes; or compromise third-party systems connected to our operations.

Our systems maintain personally identifiable information, including employee data, customer and payment-related information, and other confidential business information. We cannot guarantee that our security measures, monitoring, incident response processes, vendor risk management program, or other controls will prevent or timely detect all unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure of such information. A cybersecurity incident could result in operational disruption, loss of business information, litigation, regulatory investigations, notification obligations, fines, claims for damages, remediation costs, increased compliance costs, negative publicity, reputational harm, and loss of confidence by customers, dealers, suppliers, employees, and other stakeholders, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may incur significant increased costs and become subject to additional potential liabilities related to regulatory, market and or legal related measures to address climate change.

We have established and publicly announced sustainability goals. These goals include science-based targets for the reduction of Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Our ability to achieve any stated goal, target or objective is subject to numerous factors and conditions, many of which are outside of our control. Examples of such factors include evolving regulatory requirements affecting sustainability standards or disclosures or imposing different requirements, the pace of changes in available materials and technology, as well as the availability of suppliers that can meet our sustainability and other standards. We may incur significant costs as we work to implement our sustainability goals, which were announced fiscal year 2025, which include efforts to reduce our carbon footprint.

Furthermore, standards for tracking and reporting sustainability matters continue to evolve. Our selection of voluntary disclosure frameworks and standards, and the interpretation or application of those frameworks and standards, may change from time to time or differ from other companies. Methodologies for reporting these data may be updated and previously reported data may be adjusted to reflect improvement in availability and quality of third-party data, changing assumptions, changes in the nature and scope of our operations, and other changes in circumstances, which could result in significant revisions to our current goals, reported progress in achieving such goals, or ability to achieve such goals in the future. If we fail to achieve, or are perceived to have failed or been delayed in achieving, or improperly report our progress toward achieving these goals and commitments, it could negatively affect consumer or customer preference for our products as well as potentially expose us to enforcement actions and litigation.

Additionally, continued focus by governmental authorities on climate change and other environmental matters has led to enhanced regulation in these areas, which is expected to result in increased compliance costs and could subject us to additional potential liabilities. The extent of these costs and risks is difficult to predict and will depend in large part on the extent of final regulations and the ways in which those regulations are enforced. We operate and have manufacturing facilities in multiple regions across the globe, and the impact of additional regulations in this area is likely to vary by region. It is expected the costs we incur to comply with any such final regulations and execute on our own sustainability goals could be material.

Government and other regulations could adversely affect our business.

Government and other regulations apply to the manufacture and sale of many of our products. Failure to comply with these regulations or failure to obtain approval of products from certifying agencies could adversely affect the sales of these products and have a material negative impact on operating results.

Item 1B Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 1C Cybersecurity

We recognize the importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, as such term is defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K. These risks include, among other things: operational risks, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers and violation of data privacy or security laws. To mitigate the threat to our business, we take a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity risk management. The Company’s Board of Directors as well as its Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) and Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), are actively involved in the oversight of our risk management program, of which cybersecurity represents an important component. We have established policies, standards, processes, and practices for assessing, identifying, managing and mitigating material risks from cybersecurity threats.

Risk Assessment and Management

We rely on a multidisciplinary team, including our information security function, legal department, management, and third-party service providers to identify, assess, remediate and manage cybersecurity threats and risks. We identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment and our risk profile using various methods including, for example, manual and automated tools, subscribing to reports and services that identify cybersecurity threats, analyzing reports of threats and threat actors, conducting scans of the threat environment, utilizing internal and external audits, and conducting threat and vulnerability assessments.

At least annually, we review our security controls and address information security vulnerabilities, conduct security testing, and assess our external sources for their security risk (e.g., security incidents, data security, security controls, third parties, etc.). The results of the assessment are used to drive alignment and prioritization of initiatives to enhance our security posture, improve security processes, and to manage a broader enterprise-level risk program that is presented to the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee, and members of management.

The Company maintains various technical, physical, and organizational measures, processes, standards, and policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats against our information systems and data. These include:

•incident detection and response

•vulnerability management

•disaster recovery plans

•internal controls within our accounting and financial reporting functions

•encryption of data

•network security controls

•access controls

•physical security

•asset management

•systems monitoring

•vendor risk management program

•employee training

Notwithstanding the approach we take to cybersecurity, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on the Company. As of the date of this report, we have not identified risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Refer to Item 1A for a discussion of cybersecurity risks.

Governance

Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management activities, and each of our Board committees assists the Board in the role of risk oversight.The full Board receives an update on the Company’s risk management process and the risk trends related to cybersecurity at least annually. The Audit Committee specifically assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of risks related to cybersecurity. The Audit Committee receives quarterly reports from management about emerging data privacy and cybersecurity developments and threats, the Company’s cybersecurity posture which includes a review of the state of the Company’s cybersecurity, and the Company’s strategy to mitigate data protection and cybersecurity risks.

Our CISO, CTO, and Chief Legal Officer have primary responsibility for assessing and managing material cybersecurity risks and are members of management’s Information Security Council (the “Security Council”), which is a governing body that drives alignment on security decisions across the Company.The Security Council meets regularly to review and make recommendations on security policies and procedures, risk mitigation strategies, incident response and management plans and stakeholder engagement. Our CISO is an experienced information systems security professional with many years of experience.

We have an established process led by our Security Council to govern our assessment, response, and notifications internally and externally upon the occurrence of a cybersecurity incident. Depending on the nature and severity of an incident, this process provides escalation procedures to our CEO, Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On January 16, 2019, the Company announced a share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors providing for a share repurchase authorization of $250.0 million with no specified expiration date. On July 16, 2024, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved an increase to this repurchase plan to authorize an additional $200.0 million to fund share repurchases.

The following is a summary of share repurchase activity during the fiscal quarter ended May 30, 2026:

(1) Includes shares withheld (if any), at the election of participants, to satisfy tax withholding obligations incurred upon the vesting of restricted stock.

(2) Amounts are as of the end of the period indicated.

Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in any manner management believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, including through privately negotiated transactions and open market purchases, which may be made pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1. Repurchases will be made at management’s discretion, subject to general market conditions, alternative uses for capital, the Company’s financial performance, and other factors.

Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Refer also to the information provided under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Executive Overview

MillerKnoll's products are sold internationally through controlled subsidiaries or branches in various countries including the United Kingdom, Denmark, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, India, and Brazil. The Company’s products are sold in over 100 countries primarily through independent contract furniture dealers, direct customer sales, owned and independent retailers, direct-mail catalogs, and the Company’s eCommerce platforms.

The Company is globally positioned in terms of manufacturing operations. In North America, manufacturing and distribution operations are in Georgia, New York, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Texas in the United States, as well as Toronto and Mexico City. In Europe, the Company's manufacturing presence is in the United Kingdom and Italy. Manufacturing operations globally also include facilities located in Brazil, China, and India. The Company manufactures products using a system of lean manufacturing techniques collectively referred to as the MillerKnoll Performance System (MKPS). For its contract furniture business, MillerKnoll strives to maintain efficiencies and cost savings by minimizing the amount of inventory on hand. Accordingly, production is order-driven with direct materials and components purchased as needed to meet demand. These factors result in a high rate of inventory turns related to our manufactured inventories.

A key element of the Company's manufacturing strategy is to limit fixed production costs by sourcing component parts from strategic suppliers. This strategy has allowed the Company to increase the variable nature of its cost structure, while retaining proprietary control over those production processes that the Company believes provide a competitive advantage. As a result of this strategy, the Company's manufacturing operations are largely assembly-based.

A key element of the Company's growth strategy is to scale the Global Retail business through the Company's Herman Miller and Design Within Reach ("DWR") retail channels. DWR provides a channel to bring MillerKnoll's iconic and design-centric products across our brands such as Knoll, Muuto, and HAY, to retail customers, along with other proprietary and third-party products, with a focus on modern design.

The Company is comprised of various operating segments as defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The operating segments are determined on the basis of how the Company internally reports and evaluates financial information used to make operating decisions. The Company has identified the following segments:

•North America Contract — Includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture, and sale of furniture products directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments throughout the United States and Canada as well as the global operations of the Spinneybeck, FilzFelt, Maharam, Edelman, and Knoll Textile brands.

•International Contract — Includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture, and sale of furniture products, directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.

•Global Retail — Includes global operations associated with the sale of modern design furnishings and accessories to third party retailers, as well as direct to consumer sales through eCommerce, direct-mail catalogs, and physical retail stores, along with the global operations of the Holly Hunt brand.

The Company also reports a corporate category consisting primarily of unallocated corporate expenses related to general corporate functions, including, but not limited to, certain legal, executive, corporate finance, information technology, administrative, and acquisition-related costs.

Core Strengths

The Company relies on the following core strengths in delivering solutions to customers:

•Product Portfolio and Brand Collective - MillerKnoll is a collective of globally recognized design brands known for working with some of the most well-known and respected designers in the world. Combined, the Company represents over 100 years of design research and exploration in service of humanity. Within the industries in which the Company operates, Herman Miller and Knoll, along with Colebrook Bosson Saunders, Design Within Reach, Edelman, FilzFelt, Geiger, HAY, Holly Hunt, Maharam, Muuto, NaughtOne and Spinneybeck are acknowledged as leading brands that inspire architects and designers to create their best design solutions. This portfolio has enabled MillerKnoll to connect with new audiences, channels, geographies, and product categories. Leveraging the collective brand equity of MillerKnoll across the lines of business is an important element of the Company's business strategy.

•Design Leadership - The Company is committed to developing research-based functionality and aesthetically innovative new products and has a history of doing so, in collaboration with a global network of leading independent designers. The Company believes its skills and experience in matching problem-solving design with the workplace needs of customers provide the Company with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. An important component of the Company's business strategy is to actively pursue a program of new product research, design, and development. The Company accomplishes this through the use of an internal research and engineering staff that engages with third party design resources generally compensated on a royalty basis.

•Unique Business Model - The Company has built a multi-channel distribution capability that it considers unique. Through contract furniture dealers, direct customer sales, retail stores and studios, eCommerce, wholesalers, and independent retailers, the Company serves contract and residential customers across a range of channels and geographies. As it pertains to its operations, the Company was among the first in the industry to embrace the concept of lean manufacturing. MKPS provides the foundation for all the Company's manufacturing operations. The Company is committed to continuously improving both product quality and production and operational efficiency. The Company believes these concepts hold significant promise for further gains in reliability, quality, and efficiency.

•Global Scale and Reach - In addition to its global omni-channel distribution capability, the Company has a global network of designers, suppliers, manufacturing operations, and research and development centers that position the Company to serve contract and residential customers globally. The Company believes that leveraging this global scale will be an important enabler to executing its strategy.

•Extraordinary People - We believe that our employees are a critical success factor for our business. We strive to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain the best employees. Our ability to attract, engage, and retain key employees has been and will remain critical to our success.

Channels of Distribution

The Company's products and services are offered to most of its customers under standard trade credit terms between 30 and 45 days. For all the items below, revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer. The Company's products and services are sold through the following distribution channels:

•Independent Contract Furniture Dealers - Most of the Company's product sales are made to a global network of independently owned and operated contract furniture dealerships. These dealers purchase the Company's products and distribute them to end customers. Many of these dealers also offer furniture-related services, including product installation.

•Direct Contract Sales - The Company sells products and services directly to end customers without an intermediary (e.g., sales to the U.S. federal government). In most of these instances, the Company contracts separately with a dealer or third-party installation company to provide sales-related services.

•eCommerce - The Company sells products in its portfolio of brands across the globe, through localized Herman Miller, Knoll, and DWR websites. These sites complement the Company’s existing methods of distribution and extend the Company's brands' reach for new and existing customers and clients.

•Wholesale - Through the Company's Global Retail segment, certain products are sold on a wholesale basis to independent retailers located in various markets around the world.

•Retail Locations - As of May 30, 2026, the Company operated 93 retail stores, including 45 DWR stores, 39 Herman Miller stores, 4 Knoll stores, 1 Muuto store, 1 HAY store, and 3 outlet stores.

Areas of Strategic Focus

Our strategy is designed to harness the full potential of MillerKnoll while driving growth across all business segments, geographies, and customer groups and creating value for all our stakeholders. We will capitalize on global trends including hybrid and flexible work, consumers’ focus on investing in their homes, a focus on health and well-being, and an expectation of corporate social responsibility. Our strategy includes three key focus areas:

Drive Customer Demand and Order Growth

We are prioritizing programs to deliver world class experiences with every client interaction. We have a global, go-to-market framework for contract sellers, Design With Impact, that is organized around well-being, connection and change, and we are investing in MillerKnoll showrooms that bring our brands closer together to show the breadth of our offerings. As part of this work, we are enhancing and opening MillerKnoll showrooms in select markets, including, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, London, Los Angeles, New York, Toronto and San Francisco. In addition, we will continue to leverage the wide reach of our dealers’ showrooms around the globe.

In retail, we are working to evolve and enhance the DWR experience. We are expanding the retail footprint of both our DWR and Herman Miller stores into new geographic markets, with a primary focus on growth within the United States. We are testing new store formats, expanding our product assortment and offering design services both in store and online to enhance the customer experience, attract new customers and grow existing customers. In addition, we continue to launch new online tools to support our trade customers, making it easier for them to incorporate our products in their client projects.

Foster a Culture of Highly Engaged Associates

As MillerKnoll, we have created one of the most talented teams in the industry. We are committed to nurturing this distinct competitive advantage by fostering a culture of highly engaged associates and inspiring belief in our shared future. We empower our associates to be agile and hold our teams accountable for living our actions and delivering high performance.

The Company believes that engagement and education are critical to enabling Associates to deliver extraordinary performance.

Business Overview

The following summary provides an overview of the Company’s operating performance and segment results for the year ended May 30, 2026:

Consolidated Results

•Net sales were $3,841.7 million, representing an increase of 4.7% when compared to the prior year. Growth was primarily driven by increased sales volumes across all segments, along with the positive impact of pricing actions and favorable foreign currency translation. On an organic basis, net sales were $3,800.4 million(*), representing an increase of 3.6% when compared to the prior year.

•Gross margin was 38.8% in both fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025.

•Operating expenses decreased by $81.6 million or 5.9% as compared to the prior year. The decrease was driven primarily from the impact of non-cash intangible impairment charges in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in fixed and variable compensation costs and incremental costs related to the expanded retail store footprint.

◦Operating earnings were $198.3 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $50.5 million in fiscal 2025.

◦Adjusted operating income was $238.4 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $248.7 million in fiscal 2025.

•The effective tax rate was 25.3% compared to negative 53.1% for the prior year. The fiscal 2025 tax rate was impacted by non-deductible goodwill impairment charges that did not occur in fiscal 2026.

•Diluted earnings per share for the full year totaled $1.32 compared to loss per share of $0.54 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(*) totaled $1.86 in fiscal 2026 compared to $1.95 in fiscal 2025.

Operating margin increased 860 basis points year-over year and decreased 200 basis points on an adjusted basis(*). The increase on a reported basis was primarily driven by non-cash intangible asset impairment charges recorded in the prior year.

The remaining sections of Item 7 include additional analysis of the fiscal year ended May 30, 2026, including discussion of significant variances compared to the prior year period. A detailed review of our fiscal 2025 performance compared to our fiscal 2024 performance is set forth in Part II, Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025.

(*) Non-GAAP measurements; see accompanying reconciliations and explanations.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to the related GAAP measurement. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence of our GAAP results. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables included within this presentation. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for investors as they provide financial information on a more comparative basis for the periods presented. Certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted operating earnings, are used by the Company in its executive compensation program.

The non-GAAP financial measures referenced within this report include: Adjusted Earnings per Share - Diluted, Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss), Adjusted Operating Margin and Organic Growth (Decline).

Adjusted Earnings per Share - Diluted represents reported diluted earnings per share excluding the impact from amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles, integration charges, restructuring expenses, impairment charges, Knoll pension plan termination charges, debt extinguishment charges, CEO transition costs, and the related tax effect of these adjustments.

Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) represents reported operating earnings less integration charges, amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles, restructuring expenses, impairment charges, Knoll pension plan termination charges, and CEO transition costs.

Adjusted Operating Margin is calculated as Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) divided by Net Sales.

Organic Growth (Decline) represents the change in sales and orders, excluding currency translation effects.

•Amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles: Includes expenses associated with the amortization of acquisition related intangibles acquired as part of the Knoll acquisition. The revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. We exclude the impact of the amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles as such non-cash amounts were significantly impacted by the size of the Knoll acquisition. Furthermore, we believe that this adjustment enables better comparison of our results as Amortization of Knoll Purchased Intangibles will not recur in future periods once such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. Although we exclude the Amortization of Knoll Purchased Intangibles in these non-GAAP measures, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

•Integration charges: Knoll integration-related costs include severance, asset impairment charges associated with lease and operations facility consolidation activity, and expenses related to synergy realization efforts and reorganization initiatives.

•Restructuring charges: Includes costs associated with actions involving targeted workforce reductions, facility consolidation charges, and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.

•Knoll pension plan termination charges: Includes expenses incurred associated with the termination of the Knoll pension plan which was completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

•Debt extinguishment charges: Includes expenses associated with the extinguishment of debt. We excluded these items from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.

•Impairment charges: Includes non-cash charges for the impairment of the Knoll and Muuto trade names as well as impairment of goodwill attributed to the Global Retail and Holly Hunt reporting units.

•CEO transition costs: Includes expenses consisting primarily of severance, benefits and advisory fees.

We excluded the income tax benefit/provision effect of the tax related items from our non-GAAP measures because they are not associated with the tax expense on our ongoing operating results.

Net Sales

The following chart presents graphically the primary drivers of the year-over-year change in Net sales. The amounts presented in the bar graph are expressed in millions and have been rounded.

Net sales for fiscal 2026 increased $172 million, or 4.7% compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by the following factors:

•Price increases, net of discounting, which positively impacted Net sales by approximately $74 million.

•Favorable foreign currency translation, which increased Net sales by approximately $41 million.

•Increased sales volume in the North America Contract, Global Retail, and International Contract segments contributed approximately $25 million, $24 million and $8 million respectively.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 was 38.8%. Gross margin was stable year over year, reflecting offsetting favorable and unfavorable impacts as described below.

•Favorable channel and product mix and the impact of incremental list price increases, partially offset by contract price discounting, which positively impacted margin.

•Favorable leverage on fixed costs due to higher sales volumes which positively impacted margin.

•These increases were offset by tariff-related costs, partially offset by pricing actions, incurred in the first half of the year which adversely impacted gross margin.

Operating Expenses

The following chart presents graphically the primary drivers of the year-over-year change in Operating expenses. The amounts presented in the bar graph are expressed in millions and have been rounded.

Operating expenses decreased by $82 million or 5.9% compared to the prior year fiscal period. The following factors contributed to the change:

•Impairment charges of $130 million related to goodwill attributed to the Global Retail and Holly Hunt reporting units, as well as related to the Knoll and Muuto indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets, that occurred in the prior year period.

•Acquisition-related integration charges which totaled approximately $28 million, that occurred in the prior year. These decreases were offset in part by:

•Increased fixed and variable compensation costs of approximately $33 million.

•Incremental costs of $15 million associated with the impact from opening new stores.

•Variable selling costs, including sales-based commissions and royalty expenses, which rose by approximately $14 million.

•Foreign currency translation also contributed an increase in operating expenses of approximately $10 million.

•Increase of approximately $5 million in other expenses driven in part by program spend.

Other Income/Expense

Net other expenses for fiscal 2026 totaled $70 million, compared to $72 million in fiscal 2025. The year-over-year decrease of $2 million was primarily driven by lower interest expense due to reduced debt levels and a reduction in foreign currency losses, partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $8 million incurred in connection with the refinancing of term loan debt during the current year.

Income Taxes

See Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Operating Segments Results

The business is composed of various operating segments as defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These operating segments are determined on the basis of how the Company internally reports and how the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates financial information used to make operating decisions.

Below is a description of each reportable segment.

The North America Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture and sale of furniture products directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments throughout the United States and Canada as well as the global operations of the Spinneybeck, FilzFelt, Maharam, Edelman, and Knoll Textile brands.

The International Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture and sale of furniture products, indirectly or directly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

The Global Retail segment includes global operations associated with the sale of modern design furnishings and accessories to third party retailers, as well as direct to consumer sales through eCommerce, direct-mail catalogs, and physical retail stores, along with the global operations of the Holly Hunt brand.

The Company also reports a “Corporate” category consisting primarily of unallocated expenses related to general corporate functions, including, but not limited to, certain legal, executive, corporate finance, information technology, administrative and acquisition-related costs. For descriptions of each segment, refer to Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The charts below present the relative mix of net sales and operating earnings across each of the Company's segments. This is followed by a discussion of the Company's results, by segment.

North America Contract

(Dollars in millions) Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Change

Operating earnings % 9.0 % 6.2 % 2.8 %

Net sales increased 4.9%, or 4.8%(*) on an organic basis, from the prior year due to:

•Price increases, net of discounting positively impacted net sales by approximately $69 million.

•Increased sales volume within the segment of approximately $25 million.

•Favorable foreign currency translation increased net sales by approximately $2 million.

Operating earnings increased $66 million, or 54.2% compared to the same period of the prior year due to:

•Increased Gross margin of $51 million, driven by the higher sales volumes discussed above and an increase in gross margin percentage of 80 basis points. The increase in gross margin percentage was due primarily to:

◦Price increases, net of discounting resulted in a positive impact to margin.

◦Favorable product mix and operational efficiency which increased margin.

◦These increases were partially offset by tariff-related costs, net of pricing actions, incurred in the first half of the year that adversely impacted gross margin.

•Decreased operating expenses of $15 million. The following factors contributed to the change:

◦A reduction in acquisition-related integration charges, which totaled approximately $25 million.

◦Decreased non-cash intangible impairment charges of approximately $20 million. These decreases were partially offset by:

◦Increased variable selling costs, including sales-based commissions and royalty expenses of approximately $16 million.

◦Increased compensation and benefits of approximately $13 million.

◦Increase of approximately $1 million driven primarily by restructuring charges associated with facility consolidation initiatives.

International Contract

(Dollars in millions) Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Change

Operating earnings % 8.1 % 9.6 % (1.5) %

Net sales increased 2.1%, and decreased 1.2%(*) on an organic basis, from the prior year due to:

•Favorable foreign currency translation, which increased net sales by approximately $22 million.

•Higher sales volume within the segment, contributing approximately $8 million to the increase.

•These increases were partially offset by incremental discounting attributable to regional and product sales mix, partially offset by price increases, which adversely impacted net sales by approximately $16 million.

Operating earnings decreased $8 million, or 13.3%, compared to the prior year due to:

•Increased Operating expenses of $10 million driven primarily by:

◦Increased fixed and variable compensation costs of approximately $6 million.

◦Foreign currency translation which contributed an unfavorable impact of approximately $4 million compared to the prior year.

◦Incremental charges driven by the timing of program spend, partially offset by decreased acquisition-related integration charges and impairment charges during the prior year period.

•Increased gross margin of $2 million driven by the higher sales volumes explained above, partially offset by a decline in gross margin percentage of 50 basis points. The decrease in gross margin percentage was due primarily to:

◦Unfavorable foreign currency translation which negatively impacted gross margin.

◦Regional sales mix which had an unfavorable impact to gross margin.

◦These pressures were partially offset by favorable operating leverage on fixed costs resulting from increased sales volumes and favorable material performance.

Fiscal Year Ended

Cash provided by (used in):

Effect of exchange rate changes 6.7 5.2

Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ (26.0) $ (36.7)

Cash Flow — Operating Activities

The principal source of our operating cash flow is net earnings, meaning cash receipts from the sale of our products, net of costs to manufacture, distribute, and market our products. Net cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended May 30, 2026, totaled $199.9 million compared to $209.3 million in the twelve months ended May 31, 2025. Working capital remained a use of cash in the current year and increased compared to the prior year. Our working capital consists primarily of receivables from customers, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued compensation, and accrued other expenses. The following all affect these account balances:

•Fluctuations in inventory levels;

•The timing of collection of our receivables;

•Fluctuations in customer deposits; and

•Changes in accruals related to variable compensation.

Cash Flow — Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended May 30, 2026, was $115.6 million, as compared to $100.9 million in the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, primarily reflecting increased capital expenditures in the current year. Cash used in the prior year included $6.0 million of offsetting proceeds from the sale of a manufacturing facility located in Wisconsin.

Capital expenditures for the current year were $122.3 million as compared to $107.6 million in the prior year. At the end of fiscal 2026, there were outstanding commitments for capital purchases of $82.1 million. The Company plans to fund these commitments through a combination of cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The Company expects capital spending in fiscal 2027 to be between $125.0 million and $135.0 million, which will be primarily related to investments in the Company's facilities, (including manufacturing, showrooms, and retail stores) and equipment.

Cash Flow — Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the twelve months ended May 30, 2026 was $117.0 million, compared to $150.3 million in the twelve months ended May 31, 2025. The decrease in cash used in the current year, compared to the prior year, was primarily due to:

•The Company repurchased 965,907 shares at a cost of $16.3 million in the current year as compared to 3,291,176 share repurchases totaling $84.9 million in the prior year.

•Net payments on the credit facility of $21.6 million in the current period compared to $61.7 million in the same period of the prior year.

•During the current period the Company entered into a three-year accounts receivable securitization facility. Net proceeds from the facility totaled $42.9 million in the current period. This was offset in part by:

•Scheduled principal payments on term loan debt as well as the refinancing of Term Loan B resulted in a net cash outflow of $69.5 million in the current period. In the prior year, term loan debt was increased by $47.4 million due to the refinancing of Term Loan A, net of scheduled principal payments.

Sources of Liquidity

The Company is closely managing spending levels, capital investments, and working capital. The Company maintains an open market share repurchase program under our existing share repurchase authorization and may repurchase shares from time to time based on management’s evaluation of market conditions, share price and other factors.

At the end of fiscal 2026, the Company has a well-positioned balance sheet and liquidity profile. The Company has access to liquidity through credit facilities as well as cash and cash equivalents. These sources have been summarized below. For additional information, refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash and cash equivalents $ 167.7 $ 193.7

Availability under revolving lines of credit(1) 404.0 382.2

(1) Available access to our revolving line of credit is subject to covenant restrictions outlined in our credit agreement.

Of the cash and cash equivalents noted above at the end of fiscal 2026, the Company had $161.7 million of cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States.

The Company’s syndicated revolving line of credit, which matures in April 2030, provides the Company with up to $725 million in revolving variable interest borrowing capacity and allows the Company to borrow incremental amounts, at its option, subject to negotiated terms as outlined in the agreement. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at rates based on the prime rate, federal funds rate, SOFR or negotiated terms as outlined in the agreement.

As of May 30, 2026, the total debt outstanding related to borrowings under the syndicated revolving line of credit was $309.2 million with available borrowings against this facility of $404.0 million.

The Company intends to repatriate $119.9 million of undistributed foreign earnings, all of which is held in cash in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company has recorded a $1.4 million deferred tax liability related to foreign withholding taxes on these future dividends received in the U.S. from foreign subsidiaries. A significant portion of the $119.9 million of undistributed foreign earnings was previously taxed under the U.S. Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA). The Company intends to remain indefinitely reinvested in the remaining undistributed earnings outside the U.S. which is estimated to be approximately $377.8 million on May 30, 2026.

Material Cash Requirements

As of May 30, 2026, the Company's primary material cash requirements consisted of debt obligations, operating lease commitments, purchase obligations, pension and other post-employment benefit plan funding requirements, and dividend commitments.

Debt obligations, including associated interest payments, represented the Company's most significant contractual cash requirement, totaling approximately $1.6 billion. Scheduled principal and interest payments are expected to be funded through a

combination of cash generated from operations, existing cash balances, and available borrowing capacity under the Company's credit arrangements.
