STEELCASE INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 24, 2012 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 24, 2012 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in our Form 10-K.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. This amendment is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amended provisions are effective for the company beginning in Q1 2014; however, early adoption is permitted. This amendment impacts impairment testing steps only, and therefore adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In Q2 2013, the company identified errors in its accounting for deferred income taxes which relate to periods prior to fiscal year 2010. Management believes the errors are not material to any prior period financial statements.  The correction of the errors had the effect of reducing long-term deferred income taxes and retained earnings by $12.5.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 24, 2012 presented in this Form 10-Q has been restated to reflect this correction. These errors were associated with periods prior to fiscal 2010 and therefore did not materially impact the condensed consolidated statements of income or cash flows for the periods presented in our most recently filed Form 10-K.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities include performance units and restricted stock units in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of certain performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period.

5. FAIR VALUE

The carrying amounts for many of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our short-term investments, foreign exchange forward contracts and long-term investments are measured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our total debt is carried at cost and was $289.8 and $291.5 as of November 23, 2012 and February 24, 2012, respectively. The fair value of our total debt is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of instruments and was approximately $312 and $305 as of November 23, 2012 and February 24, 2012, respectively.

We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of short-term volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

7. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Performance Units

In Q1 2013, we awarded 540,470 performance units to our executive officers. These performance units are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2013 through 2015, based on our total shareholder return relative to a comparison group of companies and, if earned, will be issued in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, therefore the maximum number of shares that can be issued under the awards is 1,080,940. For these awards, dividend equivalents are calculated based on the actual number of shares earned at the end of the performance period equal to the dividends that would have been payable on the earned shares had they been held during the entire performance period as Class A Common Stock. At the end of the performance period, the dividend equivalents are paid in the form of cash or Class A Common Stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors. These awards will be forfeited if the participant leaves our company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the plan and determined by the Administrative Committee in its discretion. If a change in control occurs at least six months following the award date, the target awards will be deemed to be earned and a pro rata number of units will be vested and paid based upon the length of time within the performance period which has elapsed prior to the effective date of the change in control.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The fair value of the performance units awarded was calculated on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

	2013 Awards		2012 Awards		2011 Awards
Three-year risk-free interest rate (1)	0.5	%	1.4	%	1.7	%
Expected term	3 years		3 years		3 years
Estimated volatility (2)	49.8	%	50.9	%	49.2	%

_______________________________________

(1) Based on the U.S. government bond benchmark on the grant date.

(2) Represents the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock for the three-year period preceding the grant date.

The total performance units expense and associated tax benefit for all outstanding awards for the three and nine months endedNovember 23, 2012 and November 25, 2011 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
Performance Units	November 23, 2012		November 25, 2011		November 23, 2012		November 25, 2011
Expense	$	0.7	$	1.2	$	4.8	$	7.3
Tax benefit	0.2		0.4		1.8		2.8

The performance units activity for the nine months endedNovember 23, 2012 is as follows:

Maximum Number of Shares That May Be Issued Under Nonvested Units	Total		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit
Nonvested as of February 24, 2012 (1)	2,529,690		$	12.00
Granted	1,080,940		11.92
Forfeited	(320,600	)	11.98
Nonvested as of November 23, 2012 (1)	3,290,030		$	11.97

_______________________________________

(1) Total nonvested includes 194,750 units as of February 24, 2012 and 169,750 units as of November 23, 2012 which represent the 25.0% portion of the awards granted in 2011 which are not subject to performance conditions. The reduction is due to the forfeiture of units during 2013.

As of November 23, 2012, there is $3.5 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

Restricted Stock Units

For the nine months endedNovember 23, 2012, we awarded 550,672 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), of which 330,030 were awarded to our executive officers. These restricted stock units have restrictions on transfer, the majority of which lapse three years after the date of grant, at which time the units will be issued as unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. These awards are subject to forfeiture if a participant leaves our company for reasons other than retirement, disability, death or termination by us without cause prior to the vesting date.

The restricted stock units expense and associated tax benefit for all outstanding awards for the three and nine months endedNovember 23, 2012 and November 25, 2011 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
Restricted Stock Units	November 23, 2012		November 25, 2011		November 23, 2012		November 25, 2011
Expense	$	0.8	$	0.9	$	3.0	$	2.7
Tax benefit	0.4		0.3		1.2		1.0

The restricted stock units activity for the nine months endedNovember 23, 2012 is as follows:

Nonvested Units	Total		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit
Nonvested as of February 24, 2012	880,837		$	8.70

Forfeited	(41,700	)	10.09
Nonvested as of November 23, 2012	1,234,227		$	9.41

As of November 23, 2012, there is $5.5 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

8. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As of November 23, 2012, we realigned portions of our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes as a result of the integration of the PolyVision global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group. Prior to this change, the PolyVision global technology business was combined with the PolyVision surfaces business and was reported collectively as PolyVision in the Other category along with Asia Pacific and Designtex. As a result of these changes, the results of the PolyVision technology business are now reported in the Americas and EMEA segments. The PolyVision surfaces business remains in the Other category. Similarly, amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the new segment presentation.

Our reportable segments consist of the Americas segment, the EMEA segment and the Other category. Unallocated corporate expenses are reported as Corporate.

The Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada and Latin America with a portfolio of integrated architecture, furniture and technology products marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers through the Steelcase, Coalesse, Turnstone, Details and Nurture by Steelcase brands.

The EMEA segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily under the Steelcase brand, with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions.

The Other category includes Asia Pacific, PolyVision and Designtex. Asia Pacific serves customers in Asia and Australia primarily under the Steelcase brand with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions. Designtex designs and sells surface materials including textiles and wall coverings which are specified by architects and designers directly to end-use customers primarily in North America. PolyVision manufactures steel and ceramic surfaces for use in multiple applications, but primarily for sale to third-party fabricators to create static whiteboards sold in the primary and secondary education markets in the U.S. and Europe.

9. DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITIONS

Divestiture of PolyVision Division

In Q2 2012, we completed the sale of PolyVision’s remaining low margin whiteboard fabrication business in Europe to a third party for proceeds totaling $2.3. The transaction included the sale of PolyVision SAS (France) and PolyVision A/S (Denmark) and resulted in a loss of $0.9 recorded in Restructuring costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

For the year ended February 24, 2012 and the interim periods therein, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income included the following related to PolyVision SAS and PolyVision A/S:

	First Quarter			Second Quarter		Total

Dealer Acquisition

In Q1 2012, Red Thread Spaces LLC ("Red Thread"), formerly known as Office Environments of New England, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steelcase Inc., acquired substantially all of the assets of bkm Total Office (“BKM”) for cash consideration of approximately $18.7. Red Thread and BKM, both authorized Steelcase dealers, have combined to create a regional enterprise supporting workplace needs that will offer a broadened portfolio of products and services and expanded geographical coverage in New England. We completed the final

purchase price allocation in Q3 2012 which resulted in goodwill and intangible assets valuations of $2.0 and $0.3, respectively. The combined dealers are included in the Americas segment. The purchase of BKM did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

10. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In Q2 2013, we announced plans to integrate PolyVision's global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with this action will be approximately $4, with approximately $2 related to employee termination costs and $2 of business exit and other related costs. We incurred $1.1 of employee termination costs and $0.5 of business exit and other related costs in the Americas segment during the three months endedNovember 23, 2012. We expect these restructuring actions to be substantially complete by the end of Q1 2014.

In Q4 2011, we announced the planned closure of three manufacturing facilities in the Americas segment as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the fitness of our business and strengthen the Company’s long-term competitiveness. We have moved production within these facilities to other Steelcase locations in North America and expect the manufacturing consolidation will be substantially complete by the end of 2013. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with these actions will be approximately $42, with approximately $29 related to employee termination costs and approximately $13 related to business exit and other related costs. We incurred $0.9 and $3.7 of employee termination costs during the three and nine months endedNovember 23, 2012, respectively. We incurred $2.1 and $7.3 of business exit and other related costs during the three and nine months endedNovember 23, 2012, respectively. During 2012 and 2011, we incurred restructuring costs related to these plant closures of $17.9 and $10.1, respectively.

Restructuring costs are summarized in the following table:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended

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

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 24, 2012. Reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than the calendar year, unless indicated by a specific date. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This item contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the condensed consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation below of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures used are:  (1) organic revenue growth (decline), which represents the change in revenue excluding estimated currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, and (2) adjusted operating income (loss), which represents operating income (loss) excluding restructuring costs. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.

Overview

In Q3 2013, we experienced organic revenue growth of 1% compared to the prior year, which represents the eleventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year organic revenue growth. This growth is generally consistent with or better than global trends in our industry, driven in significant part by increased large project business. Companies have been increasing corporate spending thus far in the economic recovery, leveraging the strength of their cash positions. In recent months, white collar employment and new construction (traditional industry drivers) have started to modestly improve in the Americas, but the broader economic recovery remains challenged by a variety of headwinds, particularly in Europe and more recently in Asia.

Additionally, we believe many of our customers have deferred spending during a decade in which various forces have dramatically impacted their work environments, and many are at the point where they are now investing to modernize their spaces. We have been conducting research and launching new products, applications and experiences over the past several years to address these forces, some of which include globalization trends, miniaturization of technology, mobility of workers, increased collaboration and multi-generations at work. We believe staying invested in these growth initiatives during the worst of the recession helped drive our revenue growth as our customers increased spending. During the second half of 2012 and through 2013, we increased investments in product development and other initiatives. We believe these investments will strengthen our market leadership and help to sustain the momentum we have in our business.

Q3 2013 Compared to Q3 2012

We recorded Q3 2013 net income of $23.6 compared to Q3 2012 net income of $22.4. The increase in net income was driven by improved operating results and higher gains in the cash surrender value of variable life company owned life insurance (“COLI”) income. These increases were partially offset by higher restructuring costs.

Revenue for Q3 2013 was $727.2 compared to $719.4 in Q3 2012. Organic revenue growth was 1% after adjusting for currency translation effects and the impact of dealer acquisitions. We realized organic revenue growth of 3% in the Americas while EMEA and the Other category experienced modest organic declines. Current quarter revenue continued to include a higher mix of project business from some of the company's largest corporate customers.

Operating income was $38.4 in Q3 2013 compared to $38.2 in the prior year. Q3 2013 adjusted operating income of $44.4increased by $2.4 compared to Q3 2012 adjusted operating income of $42.0. Strength in the Americas was largely offset by lower profitability in EMEA and the Other category.

Cost of sales was 68.5% of revenue in Q3 2013, a 50 basis point improvement compared to Q3 2012. Year-over-year benefits from recent pricing adjustments (net of commodity cost changes) and restructuring actions (net of related disruption costs) and other cost reductions in the Americas were partially offset by the increase in lower-margin project business.

Operating expenses in Q3 2013 of $184.8increased by $3.7 compared to Q3 2012 operating expenses of $181.1. The comparison included $5.9 of higher variable compensation (including expenses associated with our EVA-based bonus programs and the Steelcase Inc. Retirement Plan) and $2.0 of additional operating expenses related to dealer acquisitions, partially offset by $2.4 of favorable currency translation effects.

We recorded restructuring costs of $6.0 in Q3 2013, which included $3.0 associated with the North America plant closures announced in Q4 2011 and $1.6 associated with the integration of PolyVision's global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group. In Q3 2012, we recorded restructuring costs of $3.8, $3.0 of which was associated with the North America plant closures.

Our Q3 2013 effective tax rate was 36.5% which compared to 35.3% in Q3 2012.

Year-to-Date 2013 Compared to Year-to-Date 2012

We recorded year-to-date 2013 net income of $66.3 compared to year-to-date 2012 net income of $41.8. The increase in net income was driven by improved operating results, lower interest expense and higher gains in the cash surrender value of variable life COLI. These increases were partially impacted by favorable tax items recorded in year-to-date 2012.

Year-to-date 2013 revenue increased $88.0 or 4.3% compared to year-to-date 2012, representing organic revenue growth of 6% after adjusting for unfavorable currency translation effects and the net impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. We realized organic revenue growth of 8% in the Americas, while EMEA and the Other category were flat.

Year-to-date 2013 operating income grew to $104.5 compared to $78.6 in the prior year. Year-to-date 2013 adjusted operating income improved to $119.3 from $104.6 in the prior year. Strength in the Americas was largely offset by lower profitability in EMEA and the Other category.

Year-to-date 2013 cost of sales was 69.2%, a 30 basis point improvement compared to year-to-date 2012. The improvement in cost of sales was driven by higher absorption of fixed costs associated with the organic revenue growth as well as the same factors impacting our Q3 2013 results.

Year-to-date 2013 operating expenses of $542.5increased$18.3 compared to the same period last year but decreased slightly as a percentage of sales to 25.3% from 25.4%. The comparison included $9.9 of favorable currency translation effects and $3.3 related to net acquisitions and divestitures. Additionally, operating expenses included a net increase of $9.8 related to variable compensation (including expenses associated with our EVA-based bonus programs and the Steelcase Inc. Retirement Plan). The remaining increase of $15.1 over the prior year primarily related to increased spending on sales, product development and other initiatives in the Americas and Asia Pacific.

We recorded year-to-date 2013 restructuring costs of $14.8 compared to $26.0 for year-to-date 2012. The year-to-date 2013 amount included $11.0 associated with the North America plant closures announced in Q4 2011 and $1.6 associated with the integration of PolyVision's global technology business into the Steelcase

15

Education Solutions group. The year-to-date 2012 amount included $15.1 associated with the North America plant closures, and $9.2 of EMEA costs of which $6.4 related to the Morocco plant closure.

Our year-to-date 2013 effective tax rate reflects an estimated annual tax rate of 35%. Our year-to-date 2012 effective tax rate was 32% and included a net benefit of $2.0 for miscellaneous discrete tax items, the majority of which related to the divestiture of a small division at PolyVision.

Total interest expense, investment income (loss) and other income, net	$	(1.3	)	$	(3.6	)	$	(2.5	)	$	(17.3	)

The year-to-date decrease in interest expense resulted from the additional $7.7 incurred in 2012 associated with $250 of senior notes which matured and were repaid in Q2 2012. The Q3 2013 and year-to-date 2013 change in investment income (loss) was primarily driven by higher gains in the cash surrender value of variable life COLI during the current periods. The year-to-date increase in other income, net was primarily due to a $2.1 gain recognized on the sale of a small equity investment in Q1 2013.

Business Segment Review

As of November 23, 2012, we realigned portions of our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes as a result of the integration of the PolyVision global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group. Prior to this change, the PolyVision global technology business was combined with the PolyVision surfaces business and was reported collectively as PolyVision in the Other category along with Asia Pacific and Designtex. As a result of these changes, the results of the PolyVision technology business are now reported in the Americas and EMEA segments. The PolyVision surfaces business remains in the Other category. Similarly, amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the new segment presentation.

See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our business segments.

Americas

The Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada and Latin America with a portfolio of integrated architecture, furniture and technology products marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers through the Steelcase, Coalesse, Turnstone, Details and Nurture by Steelcase brands.

Operating income in the Americas of $42.1 in Q3 2013increased by $5.0 compared to Q3 2012 operating income of $37.1. Adjusted operating income increased by $6.6 in Q3 2013 compared to Q3 2012. The improvement was driven largely by year-over-year benefits from improved pricing (net of commodity cost changes) and restructuring actions (net of disruption related costs), offset in part by higher variable compensation and a higher mix of lower-margin project business from some of the company's largest corporate customers. The $33.0 improvement in year-to-date 2013 adjusted operating income was due to similar factors impacting our Q3 2013 results, but the improvements were also driven by benefits associated with the organic revenue growth, partially offset by increased spending on sales, product development and other initiatives.

The Americas revenue represented 69.2% of consolidated revenue in Q3 2013. Revenue for Q3 2013 was $503.2 compared to $488.5 in Q3 2012, an increase of $14.7 or 3.0%. After adjusting for currency translation effects, organic revenue growth was $14.0 or 3%. Based on the most recent information available from the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association, we believe we are continuing to gain market share in the U.S. Current quarter orders grew 7% compared to the prior year. Revenue growth in Q3 2013 is categorized as follows:

• Product categories — Most product categories experienced growth in Q3, with notable growth rates in Technology and Details.

• Vertical markets — Strength was broad-based, including the Manufacturing, Insurance Services and Information Technology sectors, but was partially offset by continued weakness in the Federal Government and Financial Services sectors.

• Geographic regions — Growth rates were the strongest in Latin America and in the Eastern Business Group of North America. 

• Contract type — Growth in project business continued to outpace growth in continuing business.

After adjusting for revenue from a dealer acquired in Q1 2012 and currency translation effects, year-to-date 2013 organic revenue growth was $112.9 or 8%.

Cost of sales improved to 68.1% of revenue in Q3 2013 compared to 69.7% of revenue in Q3 2012. Benefits from improved pricing (net of commodity cost increases) and restructuring actions (net of related disruption costs) were partially offset by a higher mix of lower-margin project business weighted more heavily towards some of our largest corporate customers (which was somewhat offset by a lower mix of federal government business in the U.S.). Year-to-date 2013 cost of sales improved by 100 basis points and was affected by the same factors as Q3 2013 results as well as higher absorption of fixed costs associated with the organic revenue growth.

Operating expenses increased by $5.8 in Q3 2013 compared to the same period last year. The increase primarily related to $5.0 of higher variable compensation expense. Year-to-date 2013 operating expenses increased by $19.4. The increase included $1.7 of expenses related to a dealer acquired in Q1 2012 and $8.6 of increased variable compensation. The remaining increase related to higher spending on sales, product development and other initiatives.

Restructuring costs of $5.0 in Q3 2013 included $3.0 associated with the North America plant closures announced in Q4 2011 and $1.6 associated with the integration of PolyVision's global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group. Restructuring costs of $13.2 in year-to-date 2013 primarily related to the North America plant closures.

EMEA

The EMEA segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily under the Steelcase brand, with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, seating and storage solutions.

Operating income in EMEA of $0.8 in Q3 2013 represents a decline of $3.2 compared to the Q3 2012 operating income of $4.0. The adjusted operating income recorded in Q3 2013 was $1.3 compared to $4.6 in the same period of the prior year. The decline was driven by a higher mix of lower-margin project business, offset in part by lower operating costs. The year-to-date 2013 operating loss of $12.4 compares to a year-to-date 2012 operating loss of $10.7. The year-to-date 2013 adjusted operating loss of $11.6 represented a decline of $10.1 compared to the year-to-date 2012 operating loss of $1.5. The decline was driven by the same factors impacting our Q3 2013 results.

EMEA revenue represented 21.6% of consolidated revenue in Q3 2013. Revenue for Q3 2013 was $157.1 compared to $161.8 in Q3 2012. After adjusting for currency translation effects of $9.1 and the impact of revenue from dealer acquisitions of $6.0, the organic revenue decline was $1.6 or 1%. Year-to-date 2013 organic revenue growth was $1.5 or 0%. For both Q3 2013 and year-to-date 2013, revenue growth in France, Northern Europe and the export markets of the eastern, central and southern parts of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (as a group) was offset by declines in Germany and Iberia. In addition, increases in lower-margin large project business were offset by declines in higher-margin day-to-day business.

Cost of sales climbed to 71.0% of revenue in Q3 2013 from 69.0% of revenue in Q3 2012, a 200 basis point erosion. Year-to-date 2013 cost of sales eroded 220 basis points to 72.8%. The erosion was primarily driven by a higher mix of lower-margin project business.

Q3 2013 operating expenses decreased by $1.4 and year-to-date 2013decreased by $6.9 compared to the prior year. These decreases were primarily due to favorable currency translation effects and cost containment efforts.

Year-to-date 2012 restructuring costs of $9.2 consist of $6.4 related to the closure of the Morocco manufacturing facility and $2.8 related to the completion of actions launched in prior periods.

Other

The Other category includes Asia Pacific, PolyVision and Designtex. Asia Pacific serves customers in Asia and Australia primarily under the Steelcase brand with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions. Designtex designs and sells surface materials including textiles and wall coverings which are specified by architects and designers directly to end-use customers through a direct sales force. PolyVision manufactures steel and ceramic surfaces for use in multiple applications but primarily for sale to third-party fabricators to create static whiteboards sold in the primary and secondary education markets in the U.S. and Europe.

The Other category reported operating income of $2.1 in Q3 2013 compared to operating income of $6.1 in Q3 2012. The Q3 2013 adjusted operating income of $2.6 represents a decrease of $3.3 compared to adjusted operating income of $5.9 in Q3 2012. The decrease was driven by lower revenue in PolyVision and Asia Pacific, as well as higher operating expenses across the category. The year-to-date 2013 operating income of $4.9 declined from year-to-date 2012 operating income of $13.1. Year-to-date 2013 results were affected by the same factors as our Q3 2013 results.

Q3 2013 revenue decreased by $2.2 or 3.2% and year-to-date 2013 revenue decreased$7.4 or 3.6%. Excluding currency translation effects, the organic revenue decline was $2.4 or 3% for Q3 2013. Excluding the decrease in revenue due to the divestiture of a small division at PolyVision and currency translation effects, the organic revenue growth was $0.8 or 0% for year-to-date 2013. For both the Q3 2013 and year-to-date 2013 periods, organic revenue declined in Asia Pacific and PolyVision but grew at Designtex.

Cost of sales as a percent of revenue was 65.2% in Q3 2013 compared to 64.0% in Q3 2012, a 120 basis point erosion. Year-to-date 2013 cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 10 basis points compared to year-to-date 2012. The erosion in Q3 2013 was primarily driven by lower absorption of fixed costs in PolyVision and a higher mix of lower-margin project business in Asia Pacific.

Q3 2013 operating expenses increased by $1.7 compared to Q3 2012, and year-to-date 2013 operating expenses increased by $5.9 compared to year-to-date 2012. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in sales, product development and other expenses in Asia Pacific.

Corporate

Corporate costs include unallocated portions of executive costs and shared service functions such as information technology, human resources, finance, legal, research and development and corporate facilities. Unallocated portions of these expenses are considered general corporate costs and are reported as Corporate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on current business conditions, we target a minimum of $100 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund the day-to-day operations of the business, provide available liquidity for investments in growth initiatives and serve as a cushion against economic volatility. Our actual cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as we plan for and manage certain seasonal disbursements, particularly the annual payment of accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions in Q1 of each fiscal year, when applicable.

Primary Liquidity Sources	November 23, 2012		February 24, 2012
Cash and cash equivalents	$	136.0	$	112.1
Short-term investments	77.4		79.1
Variable life company-owned life insurance	116.1		113.1
Availability under credit facilities	177.6		174.2
Total liquidity	$	507.1	$	478.5

As of November 23, 2012, we held a total of $213.4 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Of our total $136.0 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately 48% was located in the U.S. and the remaining 52% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in France, Asia and Canada. The amounts located outside the U.S. would be taxable if repatriated to the U.S. For all foreign locations other than Canada, we do not anticipate repatriating such amounts as they will be permanently reinvested in those entities or will be used for the repayment of intercompany debt. The tax cost of repatriating cash from Canada is largely offset by foreign tax credits and has been included in our effective tax rate.

The majority of our short-term investments are located in the U.S. in a managed investment portfolio, which primarily consists of corporate debt securities and U.S. agency debt securities.

Our investments in COLI policies are recorded at their net cash surrender value. We consider our investments in variable life COLI policies to be primarily a source of corporate liquidity, and our investments in whole life COLI policies represent an additional potential source of liquidity, as their designation to fund employee benefit plan obligations can be changed at any time. We believe the financial strength of the issuing insurance companies associated with our variable and whole life COLI policies is sufficient to meet their obligations.

Availability under credit facilities may be reduced by the use of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments for purposes other than the repayment of debt as a result of constraints related to our maximum leverage ratio covenant. See Liquidity Facilities for more information.

The change in cash provided by operating activities in year-to-date 2013 compared to year-to-date 2012 was primarily due to higher employee termination payments in year-to-date 2012, generation of cash from changes in working capital and an increase in operating results.

Capital expenditures in year-to-date 2013 were primarily related to investments in ongoing operations and product development as well as spending on corporate facilities related to campus consolidation in the Americas. Additionally, in Q1 2013, we sold a corporate aircraft for cash proceeds of $13.7. In year-to-date 2012, purchases and liquidations of investments activity increased due to our use of the proceeds from the debt issuance in Q4 2011.

During year-to-date 2013, we acquired three dealers within the EMEA segment for cash consideration of approximately $6.1. In Q1 2012, we acquired a dealer within the Americas segment for cash consideration of approximately $18.7.

In Q3 2013, we made common stock repurchases of 48,915 shares, all of which related to our Class A Common Stock. As of the end of Q3 2013, we had $136.2 of remaining availability under the $250 share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in Q4 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Liquidity Facilities

Liquidity Facilities	November 23, 2012
Global committed bank facility	$	125.0
Various uncommitted lines	52.6
Total credit lines available	177.6
Less: Borrowings outstanding	—
Available capacity	$	177.6

In Q1 2013 we entered into a $125 million committed five-year unsecured revolving syndicated credit facility. The facility amended and restated our previous unsecured syndicated credit facility that was scheduled to expire in Q4 2013. At our option, and subject to certain conditions, we may increase the aggregate commitment under the facility by up to $75 million by obtaining at least one commitment from one of the lenders. As of November 23, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility.

The facility requires us to satisfy financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant. Additionally, the facility requires us to comply with certain other covenants, including a restriction on the aggregate amount of cash dividend payments and share repurchases in any fiscal year. As of November 23, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.

The various uncommitted lines may be changed or canceled by the banks at any time. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted facilities as of November 23, 2012. In addition, we have a revolving letter of credit agreement for $12.9 of which $12.1 was utilized, primarily related to our reserve for self-insured workers’ compensation claim costs as of November 23, 2012. There were no draws on our standby letters of credit during Q3 2013.

Total consolidated debt as of November 23, 2012 was $289.8. Our debt primarily consists of $249.9 in term notes due in 2021 with an effective interest rate of 6.6%. In addition, we have a $39.0 term loan due in 2017 at a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 3.35%. The term notes are unsecured, the term loan is secured by two corporate aircraft, and both the term notes and the term loan contain no financial covenants and are not cross-defaulted to other debt facilities.

Liquidity Outlook

Our current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, funds available under our credit facilities, funds available from COLI and cash generated from future operations are expected to be sufficient to finance our known or foreseeable liquidity needs. We believe the timing, strength and continuity of the economic recovery across the geographies we serve remain uncertain which may continue to challenge our level of cash generation from operations. We continue to maintain a conservative approach to liquidity and maintain flexibility over significant uses of cash including our capital expenditures and discretionary operating expenses.

Our significant funding requirements include manufacturing and operating expenses, non-cancelable operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, variable compensation and retirement plan contributions, dividend payments and debt service obligations.

22

We expect capital expenditures to approximate between $70 and $80 in 2013 compared to $65 in 2012. This amount includes the completion of our campus consolidation in the Americas, global product development projects and investments in manufacturing equipment in both EMEA and the Americas. We closely manage capital spending to ensure we are making investments that we believe will sustain our business and preserve our ability to introduce innovative new products.

On December 7, 2012, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.09 per share, or $11.4, to be paid in Q4 2013. Future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

During Q3 2013, there have been no changes in the items that we have identified as critical accounting estimates.

Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements [Abstract]

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Text Block]

CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In Q2 2013, the company identified errors in its accounting for deferred income taxes which relate to periods prior to fiscal year 2010. Management believes the errors are not material to any prior period financial statements.  The correction of the errors had the effect of reducing long-term deferred income taxes and retained earnings by $12.5.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 24, 2012 presented in this Form 10-Q has been restated to reflect this correction. These errors were associated with periods prior to fiscal 2010 and therefore did not materially impact the condensed consolidated statements of income or cash flows for the periods presented in our most recently filed Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

New Accounting Standards

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. This amendment is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amended provisions are effective for the company beginning in Q1 2014; however, early adoption is permitted. This amendment impacts impairment testing steps only, and therefore adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Basis Of Presentation

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 24, 2012 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 24, 2012 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in our Form 10-K.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

Fair Value

FAIR VALUE

The carrying amounts for many of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our short-term investments, foreign exchange forward contracts and long-term investments are measured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our total debt is carried at cost and was $289.8 and $291.5 as of November 23, 2012 and February 24, 2012, respectively. The fair value of our total debt is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of instruments and was approximately $312 and $305 as of November 23, 2012 and February 24, 2012, respectively.

We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of short-term volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITIONS

Divestiture of PolyVision Division

In Q2 2012, we completed the sale of PolyVision’s remaining low margin whiteboard fabrication business in Europe to a third party for proceeds totaling $2.3. The transaction included the sale of PolyVision SAS (France) and PolyVision A/S (Denmark) and resulted in a loss of $0.9 recorded in Restructuring costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

For the year ended February 24, 2012 and the interim periods therein, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income included the following related to PolyVision SAS and PolyVision A/S:

	First Quarter			Second Quarter		Total
2012
Revenue	$	4.1		$	4.5	$	8.6
Gross profit	0.7			0.9		1.6
Operating income (loss)	(0.2		)	0.3		0.1

Dealer Acquisition

In Q1 2012, Red Thread Spaces LLC ("Red Thread"), formerly known as Office Environments of New England, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steelcase Inc., acquired substantially all of the assets of bkm Total Office (“BKM”) for cash consideration of approximately $18.7. Red Thread and BKM, both authorized Steelcase dealers, have combined to create a regional enterprise supporting workplace needs that will offer a broadened portfolio of products and services and expanded geographical coverage in New England. We completed the final purchase price allocation in Q3 2012 which resulted in goodwill and intangible assets valuations of $2.0 and $0.3, respectively. The combined dealers are included in the Americas segment. The purchase of BKM did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Stock Incentive Plan

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Performance Units

In Q1 2013, we awarded 540,470 performance units to our executive officers. These performance units are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2013 through 2015, based on our total shareholder return relative to a comparison group of companies and, if earned, will be issued in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, therefore the maximum number of shares that can be issued under the awards is 1,080,940. For these awards, dividend equivalents are calculated based on the actual number of shares earned at the end of the performance period equal to the dividends that would have been payable on the earned shares had they been held during the entire performance period as Class A Common Stock. At the end of the performance period, the dividend equivalents are paid in the form of cash or Class A Common Stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors. These awards will be forfeited if the participant leaves our company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the plan and determined by the Administrative Committee in its discretion. If a change in control occurs at least six months following the award date, the target awards will be deemed to be earned and a pro rata number of units will be vested and paid based upon the length of time within the performance period which has elapsed prior to the effective date of the change in control.

The fair value of the performance units awarded was calculated on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

	2013 Awards		2012 Awards		2011 Awards
Three-year risk-free interest rate (1)	0.5	%	1.4	%	1.7	%
Expected term	3 years		3 years		3 years
Estimated volatility (2)	49.8	%	50.9	%	49.2	%

_______________________________________

Reportable Segments

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As of November 23, 2012, we realigned portions of our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes as a result of the integration of the PolyVision global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group. Prior to this change, the PolyVision global technology business was combined with the PolyVision surfaces business and was reported collectively as PolyVision in the Other category along with Asia Pacific and Designtex. As a result of these changes, the results of the PolyVision technology business are now reported in the Americas and EMEA segments. The PolyVision surfaces business remains in the Other category. Similarly, amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the new segment presentation.

Our reportable segments consist of the Americas segment, the EMEA segment and the Other category. Unallocated corporate expenses are reported as Corporate.

The Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada and Latin America with a portfolio of integrated architecture, furniture and technology products marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers through the Steelcase, Coalesse, Turnstone, Details and Nurture by Steelcase brands.

The EMEA segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily under the Steelcase brand, with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions.

The Other category includes Asia Pacific, PolyVision and Designtex. Asia Pacific serves customers in Asia and Australia primarily under the Steelcase brand with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions. Designtex designs and sells surface materials including textiles and wall coverings which are specified by architects and designers directly to end-use customers primarily in North America. PolyVision manufactures steel and ceramic surfaces for use in multiple applications, but primarily for sale to third-party fabricators to create static whiteboards sold in the primary and secondary education markets in the U.S. and Europe.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract]

Restructuring Activities

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In Q2 2013, we announced plans to integrate PolyVision's global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with this action will be approximately $4, with approximately $2 related to employee termination costs and $2 of business exit and other related costs. We incurred $1.1 of employee termination costs and $0.5 of business exit and other related costs in the Americas segment during the three months endedNovember 23, 2012. We expect these restructuring actions to be substantially complete by the end of Q1 2014.

In Q4 2011, we announced the planned closure of three manufacturing facilities in the Americas segment as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the fitness of our business and strengthen the Company’s long-term competitiveness. We have moved production within these facilities to other Steelcase locations in North America and expect the manufacturing consolidation will be substantially complete by the end of 2013. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with these actions will be approximately $42, with approximately $29 related to employee termination costs and approximately $13 related to business exit and other related costs. We incurred $0.9 and $3.7 of employee termination costs during the three and nine months endedNovember 23, 2012, respectively. We incurred $2.1 and $7.3 of business exit and other related costs during the three and nine months endedNovember 23, 2012, respectively. During 2012 and 2011, we incurred restructuring costs related to these plant closures of $17.9 and $10.1, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities include performance units and restricted stock units in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of certain performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period.
