1. General

Unless this Form 10-Q indicates otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Mohawk,” or “the Company” as used in this Form 10-Q refer to Mohawk Industries, Inc.

Interim Reporting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and the Company’s description of critical accounting policies, included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.

Hedges of Net Investments in Non-U.S. Operations

The Company has numerous investments outside the United States. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to changes and volatility in currency exchange rates. The Company has in the past and might in the future use foreign currency denominated debt to hedge its non-U.S. net investments against adverse movements in exchange rates. In periods when the Company uses foreign currency denominated debt to hedge its non-U.S. net investments, the gains and losses on the Company’s net investments in its non-U.S. operations are economically offset by losses and gains on its foreign currency borrowings. Changes in the U.S. dollar value of the Company’s euro denominated debt are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income or (loss). In June 2015, the Company designated its €500,000 2.00% Senior Notes borrowing as a net investment hedge of a portion of its European operations. On October 19, 2021, the Company redeemed at par the 2.00% Senior Notes, originally due on January 14, 2022, and paid the remaining €500,000 outstanding principal of the 2.00% Senior Notes, plus any unpaid interest, utilizing cash on hand. In connection with this repayment, the Company dedesignated its €500,000 2.00% Senior Notes borrowing as a net investment hedge of a portion of its European operations. For the three months ended April 3, 2021, the change in the U.S. dollar value of the Company’s euro denominated debt was a decrease of $27,047 ($20,694 net of taxes).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which simplified the accounting for income taxes in several areas by removing certain exceptions and by clarifying and amending existing guidance applicable to accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2021. The effect of adopting the new standard was not material.

The Company’s acquisition resulted in a goodwill allocation of $54,527 and an intangible asset subject to amortization of $19,910. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The remaining acquisitions resulted in goodwill of $1,672 and intangible assets subject to amortization of $5,596.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Contract Liabilities

The Company records contract liabilities when it receives payment prior to fulfilling a performance obligation.

Accordingly, in any period, the Company does not recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods and the amount of such revenue recognized during the three months ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 was immaterial.

Costs to Obtain a Contract

The Company incurs certain incremental costs to obtain revenue contracts. These costs relate to marketing display structures and are capitalized when the amortization period is greater than one year, with the amount recorded in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Pre-tax unrecognized compensation expense for unvested RSUs granted to employees, net of estimated forfeitures, was $35,901 as of April 2, 2022, and will be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.15 years.

13. Income Taxes

For the three months ended April 2, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $61,448 on earnings before income taxes of $306,882 for an effective tax rate of 20.0%, as compared to an income tax expense of $67,690 on earnings before income taxes of $304,501, for an effective tax rate of 22.2% for the three months ended April 3, 2021. The difference in the effective tax rates for the comparative periods was impacted by the Company’s geographic dispersion of profits and losses for the respective periods, lower U.S. tax on foreign earnings, and an Italian benefit associated with a release of an uncertain tax liability in the first quarter of 2022.

15. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share assumes the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of RSUs using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. A reconciliation of net earnings attributable to Mohawk Industries, Inc. and weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

17. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal matters from time to time in the regular course of its business. Except as noted below, there are no material legal proceedings pending or known by the Company to be contemplated to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

Perfluorinated Compounds (“PFCs”) Litigation

In September 2016, the Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden, Alabama (the “Gadsden Water Board”) filed an individual complaint in the Circuit Court of Etowah County, Alabama against certain manufacturers, suppliers, and users of chemicals containing specific PFCs, including the Company. In May 2017, the Water Works and Sewer Board of the Town of Centre, Alabama (the “Centre Water Board”) filed a similar complaint in the Circuit Court of Cherokee County, Alabama. The Gadsden Water Board and the Centre Water Board both seek monetary damages and injunctive relief claiming that their water supplies contain excessive amounts of PFCs. Certain defendants, including the Company, filed dispositive motions in each case arguing that the Alabama state courts lack personal jurisdiction over them. These motions were denied. In June and September 2018, certain defendants, including the Company, petitioned the Alabama Supreme Court for Writs of Mandamus directing each lower court to enter an order granting the defendants’ dispositive motions on personal jurisdiction grounds. The Alabama Supreme Court denied the petitions on December 20, 2019. Certain defendants, including the Company, filed an Application for Rehearing with the Alabama Supreme Court asking the court to reconsider its December 2019 decision. The Alabama Supreme Court denied the application for rehearing. On August 21, 2020, certain defendants, including the Company, petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States for review of the matter. On January 19, 2021, the Supreme Court denied the defendants’ petition for review.

In December 2019, the City of Rome, Georgia (“Rome”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Floyd County, Georgia that is similar to the Gadsden Water Board and Centre Water Board complaints, again seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief related to PFCs. Also in December 2019, Jarrod Johnson filed a putative class action in the Superior Court of Floyd County, Georgia purporting to represent all water subscribers with the Rome (Georgia) Water and Sewer Division and/or the Floyd County (Georgia) Water Department and seeking to recover, among other things, damages in the form of alleged increased rates and surcharges incurred by ratepayers for the costs associated with eliminating certain PFCs from their drinking water. In January 2020, defendant 3M Company removed the class action to federal court. The Company filed motions to dismiss in both of these cases. On December 17, 2020, the Superior Court of Floyd County denied the Company’s motion to dismiss in the Rome case. On September 20, 2021, the Northern District of Georgia denied the Company’s motion to dismiss in the class action.

The Company denies all liability in these matters and intends to defend them vigorously.

Putative Securities Class Action

On January 3, 2020, the Company and certain of its executive officers were named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the “Securities Class Action”). The complaint alleges that defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making materially false and misleading statements and that the officers are control persons under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint is filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock between April 28, 2017 and July 25, 2019 (“Class Period”). On June 29, 2020, an amended complaint was filed in the Securities Class Action against Mohawk and its CEO Jeff Lorberbaum, based on the same claims and the same Class Period. The amended complaint alleges that the Company (1) engaged in fabricating revenues by attempting delivery to customers that were closed and recognizing these attempts as sales; (2) overproduced product to report higher operating margins and maintained significant inventory that was not salable; and (3) valued certain inventory improperly or improperly delivered inventory with knowledge that it was defective and customers would return it. On October 27, 2020, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On September 29, 2021, the court issued an order granting in part and denying the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. Defendants filed an answer to the amended complaint on November 12, 2021, and fact discovery is ongoing. On January 26, 2022, Lead Plaintiff moved for class certification, to appoint itself as class representative, and for appointment of class counsel. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Government Subpoenas

As previously disclosed, on June 25, 2020, the Company received subpoenas issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia (the “USAO”) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to matters similar to the allegations of wrongdoing raised by the Securities Class Action. The Company’s Audit Committee, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, conducted a thorough internal investigation into these allegations. The Audit Committee has completed the investigation and concluded that the allegations of wrongdoing are without merit. The USAO and SEC investigations are ongoing, and the Company is cooperating fully with those authorities. The Company will continue to vigorously defend against the allegations of wrongdoing in the Securities Class Action and does not believe they have merit.

Delaware State Court Action

The Company and certain of its present and former executive officers were named as defendants in a putative state securities class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware on January 30, 2020. The complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint is filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock in Mohawk Industries Retirement Plan 1 and Mohawk Industries Retirement Plan 2 between April 27, 2017 and July 25, 2019. On March 27, 2020, the court granted a temporary stay of the litigation. The stay may be lifted at the close of fact discovery in the related Securities Class Action pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia according to the terms set forth in the court’s order to stay litigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Georgia State Court Investor Actions

The Company and certain of its present and former executive officers were named as defendants in certain investor actions, filed in the State Court of Fulton County of the State of Georgia on April 22, 2021 and April 23, 2021. Four complaints brought on behalf of purported former Mohawk stockholders each allege that defendants defrauded the respective plaintiffs through false or misleading statements and thereby induced plaintiffs to purchase Company stock at artificially inflated prices. The allegations are similar to those of the Securities Class Action pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The claims alleged include fraud, negligent misrepresentation, violations of the Georgia Securities Act, and violations of the Georgia Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations statute. Plaintiffs in the investor actions seek compensatory and punitive damages. On June 28, 2021, defendants filed motions to dismiss each of the four complaints and answers to the same. On October 5, 2021, all four investor actions were transferred by the State Court of Fulton County to the Metro Atlanta Business Case Division, where fact discovery is ongoing. On January 28, 2022, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motions to dismiss, dismissing the Georgia Securities Act claims as to all defendants, and the negligent misrepresentation claim as to the Company. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Separate Federal Actions

The Company and certain of its present and former executive officers were named as defendants in two additional non-class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on June 22, 2021 and March 25, 2022, respectively. Each complaint is brought on behalf of a group of purported former Mohawk stockholders and alleges that defendants defrauded the plaintiffs through false or misleading statements and thereby induced plaintiffs to purchase Company stock at artificially inflated prices. The allegations are similar to those of the Securities Class Action. The federal law claims alleged include violations of Sections 10(b) and 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making materially false and misleading statements and that the officers are control persons under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The state law claims alleged include fraud, negligent misrepresentation, violations of the Georgia Securities Act, and violations of the Georgia Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations statute. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit seek compensatory and punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. On December 13, 2021, defendants filed motions to dismiss the June 22, 2021 complaint, which remain pending. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Derivative Actions

The Company and certain of its executive officers and directors were named as defendants in certain derivative actions filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on May 18, 2020 and August 6, 2020, respectively (the “NDGA Derivative Actions”), in the Superior Court of Gordon County of the State of Georgia on March 3, 2021 and July 12, 2021 (the “Georgia Derivative Actions”), and in the Delaware Court of Chancery on March 10, 2022 (the “Delaware Derivative Action”). The complaints allege that defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by causing the Company to issue materially false and misleading statements. The complaints are filed on behalf of the Company and seek to remedy fiduciary duty breaches occurring from April 28, 2017 to July 25, 2019. On July 20, 2020, the court in the NDGA Derivative Actions granted a temporary stay of the litigation. On October 21, 2020, the court entered an order consolidating the NDGA Derivative Actions and appointing Lead Counsel. Other shareholders of record jointly moved to intervene in the derivative actions to stay the proceedings. On September 28, 2021, the court in the NDGA Derivative Actions issued an order granting the request to intervene. On April 8, 2021, the court in the first-filed of the Georgia Derivative Actions granted a temporary stay of the litigation. On January 18, 2022, the Court in the NDGA Derivative Actions lifted the temporary stay of the litigation. On January 20, 2022, the court in the second-filed of the Georgia Derivative Actions entered an order on scheduling requiring defendants to file and serve their response to the complaint on February 21, 2022. On February 28, 2022, the court granted a stay of the Georgia Derivative Actions until the entry of a final judgment in the NDGA Derivative Actions and stipulating that the prevailing party in the NDGA Derivative Actions would be the prevailing party in the Georgia Derivative Actions. On April 6, 2022, the court granted a stay of the Delaware Derivative Action until the entry of a final judgment in the NDGA Derivative Actions and stipulating that the prevailing party in the NDGA Derivative Actions would be the prevailing party in the Delaware Derivative Action. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Belgian Tax Matter

The Company has been in a dispute with the Belgian Tax Authority (the “BTA”) regarding the proper tax treatment of the royalty income arising from intellectual property (“IP”) owned by a Luxembourg subsidiary, Flooring Industries Limited Sarl (“FIL”). The BTA had assessed Unilin BV for the calendar years ending December 2005 through 2010 in an amount totaling €223,321 (including penalties but excluding interest), alleging that Unilin BV inappropriately transferred valuable IP to FIL and income associated with that IP should be taxed in Belgium. Unilin BV challenged all of these assessments and prevailed both in the Court of First Appeal in Bruges and in the Ghent Court of Appeal. In 2021, the BTA indicated it will not appeal these cases to the Supreme Court and has withdrawn all of the assessments for 2005 through 2010. Consequently, all of those tax years are now closed.

Having lost under its original theory, the BTA is in the process of initiating new assessments for later years against FIL rather than Unilin BV. The BTA now alleges that FIL had a taxable presence in Belgium and should be taxed on royalties received in respect of its IP. The BTA issued initial assessments in December 2020 and June 2021 that totaled €371,696 (including penalties but excluding interest) for calendar years ending December 2013 through 2018. However, in November and December of 2021, the BTA cancelled these assessments and in April 2022 issued new assessments that total €186,734 (including penalties but excluding interest) for those years using different calculations. The Company expects an additional assessment for 2019. Under the statute of limitations, the BTA may not assess FIL for any years prior to 2013, and the Company believes that FIL’s statute of limitations is closed for 2013 through 2016, although this will be a point of contention with the BTA. These assessments involve the same underlying facts at issue in the above referenced cases where Unilin BV prevailed at two different levels. Consequently, the Company believes that its tax position in Belgium was correct and will persist with its vigorous defense.

When the BTA issues tax assessments, Belgian tax law requires assurances that the taxes can be paid even while they are being disputed. Consequently, the BTA has placed liens on various properties of Unilin BV to support the original assessments discussed above. Since those assessments have been nullified by the courts, the accompanying liens have been withdrawn. Since FIL does not have property in Belgium, the BTA may require assurances from FIL to support the new assessments for 2013 through 2019. These assurances may take the form of a bond or bank guarantees.

General

The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable. These contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and the Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, storage, treatment, recycling and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and finished product, and the cleanup of contamination associated therewith. Because of the nature of the Company’s business, the Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, costs relating to compliance with such laws and regulations. The Company is involved in various proceedings relating to environmental matters and is currently engaged in environmental investigation, remediation and post-closure care programs at certain sites. The Company has provided accruals for such activities that it has determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect that the ultimate liability with respect to such activities will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but acknowledges that it could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.

18. Debt

Senior Credit Facility

On October 18, 2019, the Company amended and restated its $1,800,000 senior credit facility, extending the maturity from March 26, 2022 to October 18, 2024 (as amended and restated, the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility marginally reduced the commitment fee and modified certain negative covenants to provide the Company with additional flexibility, including flexibility to make acquisitions and incur additional indebtedness. The restatement also renewed the Company’s option to extend the maturity of the Senior Credit Facility up to two times for an additional one-year period each.

At the Company’s election, revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) LIBOR for 1, 3 or 6 month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.00% and 1.75% (1.00% as of April 2, 2022), or (b) the higher of the Wells Fargo Bank, National Association prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, or the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.00% and 0.75% (0.00% as of April 2, 2022). The Company also pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments of the lenders exceed utilization of the Senior Credit Facility ranging from 0.09% to 0.20% per annum (0.09% as of April 2, 2022). The applicable margins and the commitment fee are determined based on whichever of the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio or its senior unsecured debt rating (or if not available, corporate family rating) results in the lower applicable margins and commitment fee (with applicable margins and the commitment fee increasing as that ratio increases or those ratings decline, as applicable). On October 28, 2021, the Company further amended the Senior Credit Facility to replace LIBOR for euros with the EURIBOR benchmark rate.

The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of the Senior Credit Facility are unsecured.

The Senior Credit Facility includes certain affirmative and negative covenants that impose restrictions on the Company’s financial and business operations, including limitations on liens, subsidiary indebtedness, fundamental changes, asset dispositions, dividends and other similar restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, future negative pledges, and changes in the nature of the Company’s business. The limitations contain customary exceptions or, in certain cases, do not apply as long as the Company is in compliance with the financial ratio requirements and is not otherwise in default. The Senior Credit Facility originally required the Company to maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 3.00 to 1.00 and a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 3.75 to 1.00, each as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. However, on May 7, 2020 the Company amended the Senior Credit Facility to temporarily increase the minimum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio to 4.75 to 1.00 and to increase the amount of certain adjustments to Net Income that are permitted to calculate the ratio. The relief provided by the amendment was in effect for the fiscal quarters ending on September 26, 2020 through (and including) the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021.

The Senior Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, subject to customary grace periods.

In 2019, the Company paid financing costs of $2,264 in connection with the amendment and restatement of its Senior Credit Facility. These costs were deferred and, along with previously unamortized costs of $3,405 are being amortized over the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

As of April 2, 2022, amounts utilized under the Senior Credit Facility included zero borrowings and $19,790 of standby letters of credit related to various insurance contracts and foreign vendor commitments. Any outstanding borrowings under the Company’s U.S. and European commercial paper programs reduce the availability of the Senior Credit Facility. Including commercial paper borrowings, the Company has utilized $955,644 under the Senior Credit Facility resulting in a total of $844,356 available as of April 2, 2022.

Commercial Paper

On February 28, 2014 and July 31, 2015, the Company established programs for the issuance of unsecured commercial paper in the United States and Eurozone capital markets, respectively. Commercial paper issued under the U.S. and European programs will have maturities ranging up to 397 and 183 days, respectively. None of the commercial paper notes may be voluntarily prepaid or redeemed by the Company and all rank pari passu with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. To the extent that the Company issues European commercial paper notes through a subsidiary of the Company, the notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Company uses its Senior Credit Facility as a liquidity backstop for its commercial paper programs. Accordingly, the total amount outstanding under all of the Company’s commercial paper programs may not exceed $1,800,000 (less any amounts drawn on the Senior Credit Facility) at any time.

The proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes will be available for general corporate purposes. As of April 2, 2022, there were $911,000 outstanding under the U.S. commercial paper program, and the euro equivalent of $24,854 under the European program. The weighted-average interest rate and maturity period for the U.S. program were 0.96% and 30.0 days, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate and maturity period for the European program were (0.24)% and 19.7 days, respectively.

Senior Notes

On June 12, 2020, Mohawk Capital Finance S.A. (“Mohawk Finance”), an indirect wholly-owned finance subsidiary of the Company, completed the issuance and sale of €500,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.750% Senior Notes (“1.750% Senior Notes”) due June 12, 2027. The 1.750% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Mohawk Finance and rank pari passu with all of Mohawk Finance’s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

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

Overview

During the past two decades, the Company has grown significantly. Its current geographic breadth and diverse product offering are reflected in three reporting segments: Global Ceramic; Flooring NA; and Flooring ROW. The Global Ceramic Segment designs, manufactures, sources and markets a broad line of ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone tile and other products including natural stone, porcelain slabs and quartz countertops, which it distributes primarily in North America, Europe, Brazil and Russia through various selling channels, which include company-owned stores, independent distributors and home centers. The Flooring NA Segment designs, manufactures, sources and markets its floor covering products, including broadloom carpet, carpet tile, carpet cushion, rugs, laminate, resilient, including luxury vinyl tile (“LVT”) and sheet vinyl, and wood flooring, all of which it distributes through its network of regional distribution centers and satellite warehouses using Company-operated trucks, common carriers or rail transportation. The Flooring NA Segment’s product lines are sold through various channels, including independent floor covering retailers, independent distributors, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, shop at home, online retailers, buying groups, commercial contractors and commercial end users. The Flooring ROW Segment designs, manufactures, sources, licenses and markets laminate, resilient, including LVT and sheet vinyl, wood flooring, roofing panels, insulation boards, medium-density fiberboard (“MDF”) and chipboards, which it distributes primarily in Europe, Russia, Australia and New Zealand through various channels, including independent floor covering retailers, independent distributors, company-owned distributors, home centers, commercial contractors and commercial end users.

Mohawk is a significant supplier of every major flooring category with manufacturing operations in 18 nations and sales in approximately 160 countries. Based on its annual sales, the Company believes it is the world’s largest flooring manufacturer. A majority of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States and Europe, which are also the Company’s primary markets. Additionally, the Company maintains operations in the United Kingdom, Russia, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and other parts of the world. The Company is a leading provider of flooring for residential and commercial markets and has earned significant recognition for its innovation in design and performance as well as sustainability.

Due to its global footprint, Mohawk’s business is sensitive to macroeconomic events in the United States and abroad. In response to Russian military actions in Ukraine, the Company has suspended new investments in Russia. The broader consequences of this conflict, which may include further economic sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, and geopolitical shifts; potential retaliatory actions, including nationalization of foreign-owned businesses; increased tensions between the U.S. and countries in which the Company operates; potential supply chain disruption of raw materials sourced from Ukraine, primarily clay, and materials and spare parts needed in the Company’s operations; global increases in the cost of natural gas, oil and oil-based raw materials and chemicals; and the extent of the conflict’s effect on the Company’s business and results of operations as well as the global economy cannot be predicted. In addition, the current environment has placed demands on the Company’s operations as the COVID-19 pandemic has at times caused disruptions in some of the Company’s markets and operations. While the near-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is improving, the Company anticipates that new variants of the virus could have an impact on its markets and operations in ways that are difficult to predict due to the inconsistent effect the variants have had in different regions.

During the past year, rapid cost escalations in materials, energy, transportation and labor have impacted the Company’s profitability across all segments. Mohawk has, to some extent, offset the impact of inflationary pressures through multiple pricing actions across product categories and geographies; improved mix from sales of higher-value, differentiated products; and productivity gains in manufacturing and logistics. In the near future, the Company might not foresee significant changes in these external pressures, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s results. Similarly, inflationary pressures around the globe may impact consumer and commercial investments in flooring and other large, deferrable purchases.

In 2022, the Company plans to invest an additional amount of approximately $800 million to complete existing projects and commence new initiatives. The Company plans to invest in previously initiated expansion projects, cost reduction initiatives and upgrades for recent acquisitions as well as maintenance across the businesses. The main investment areas include the Company’s LVT portfolio to upgrade its product offering and improve profitability; premium water-proof laminate in North America and Europe; ceramic capacity increases in Brazil and Italy; and countertop expansion in North America and Europe.

For the three months ended April 2, 2022, net earnings attributable to the Company were $245.3 million, or diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $3.78, compared to net earnings attributable to the Company of $236.8 million, or diluted earnings per share of $3.36 for the three months ended April 3, 2021. The change in EPS was primarily attributable to the favorable net impact of price and product mix, productivity gains, reduced share count due to the repurchases of common stock and lower restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs, partially offset by higher inflation, lower sales volume, the unfavorable net impact from foreign exchange rates, and increased short-term manufacturing disruptions. The Company believes that a number of circumstances may impact trends in 2022, including Russian military actions in Ukraine, the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, impacts to material availability due to disruptions in the global supply chain and inflation, but the extent and duration of such impact cannot be predicted.

For the three months ended April 2, 2022, the Company generated $55.0 million of cash from operating activities. As of April 2, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $230.6 million, of which $15.4 million was in the United States and $215.2 million was in foreign countries.

Quarter Ended April 2, 2022, as compared with Quarter Ended April 3, 2021

Net sales

Net sales for the three months ended April 2, 2022 were $3,015.7 million, reflecting an increase of $346.7 million, or 13.0%, from the $2,669.0 million reported for the three months ended April 3, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $430 million and higher sales volume of approximately $27 million, partially offset by the unfavorable net impact from foreign exchange rates of approximately $94 million and the unfavorable impact from one less shipping day in the first quarter of 2022 of approximately $21 million.

The increase was primarily attributable to the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $142 million and higher sales volume of approximately $30 million, partially offset by the unfavorable net impact from foreign exchange rates of approximately $32 million and the unfavorable impact from one less shipping day in the first quarter of 2022 of approximately $4 million.

Flooring ROW Segment—Net sales increased $109.1 million, or 14.2%, to $879.0 million for the three months ended April 2, 2022, compared to $769.9 million for the three months ended April 3, 2021.

As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 310 basis points. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily attributable to the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $347 million, productivity gains of approximately $20 million and lower restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs of approximately $10 million, partially offset by higher inflation of approximately $331 million, the unfavorable net impact from foreign exchange rates of approximately $23 million, increased short-term manufacturing disruptions of approximately $9 million and lower sales volume of approximately $6 million.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 180 basis points.

Operating income

Operating income for the three months ended April 2, 2022 was $320.8 million (10.6% of net sales), reflecting an increase of $3.3 million, or 1.0%, compared to operating income of $317.5 million (11.9% of net sales) for the three months ended April 3, 2021. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $331 million, productivity gains of approximately $33 million and lower restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs of approximately $10 million, partially offset by higher inflation of approximately $342 million, lower sales volume of approximately $12 million, the unfavorable net impact from foreign exchange rates of approximately $11 million and increased short-term manufacturing disruptions of approximately $9 million.

Global Ceramic Segment—Operating income was $100.3 million (9.4% of segment net sales) for the three months ended April 2, 2022, reflecting an increase of $12.5 million compared to operating income of $87.8 million (9.4% of segment net sales) for the three months ended April 3, 2021. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $102 million, productivity gains of approximately $11 million and higher sales volume of approximately $9 million, partially offset by higher inflation of approximately $105 million and the unfavorable net impact from foreign exchange rates of approximately $3 million.

Flooring NA Segment—Operating income was $95.3 million (8.9% of segment net sales) for the three months ended April 2, 2022, reflecting an increase of $14.0 million compared to operating income of $81.3 million (8.4% of segment net sales) for the three months ended April 3, 2021. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $102 million, productivity gains of approximately $30 million and lower restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs of approximately $9 million, partially offset by higher inflation of approximately $104 million and lower sales volume of approximately $21 million.

Flooring ROW Segment—Operating income was $134.7 million (15.3% of segment net sales) for the three months ended April 2, 2022, reflecting a decrease of $24.6 million compared to operating income of $159.3 million (20.7% of segment net sales) for the three months ended April 3, 2021. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to higher inflation of approximately $133 million, productivity losses of approximately $9 million, the unfavorable net impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $8 million and increased short-term manufacturing disruptions of approximately $4 million, partially offset by the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $128 million.

Approximately $3.0 million of the decrease in interest expense was due to the Company’s redemption of the 2.00% Senior Notes on October 19, 2021.

Other expense (income), net

Other expense, net was $2.4 million for the three months ended April 2, 2022, reflecting an unfavorable change of $4.6 million compared to other income, net of $2.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 2021. The change was primarily driven by the release of an indemnification receivable related to the reversal of uncertain tax positions recorded with the Emil acquisition of approximately $7 million and the unfavorable net impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $2 million, partially offset by other miscellaneous items of approximately $4 million.

Income tax expense

For the three months ended April 2, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $61.4 million on earnings before income taxes of $306.9 million, for an effective tax rate of 20.0%, as compared to an income tax expense of $67.7 million on earnings before income taxes of $304.5 million, for an effective tax rate of 22.2% for the three months ended April 3, 2021. The difference in the effective tax rates for the comparative periods was impacted by the Company’s geographic dispersion of profits and losses for the respective periods, lower U.S. tax on foreign earnings, and an Italian benefit associated with a release of an uncertain tax liability in the first quarter of 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Company’s capital needs are met primarily through a combination of internally generated funds, commercial paper, bank credit lines, term and senior notes and credit terms from suppliers.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 2022 was $55.0 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $259.6 million in the first three months of 2021. The decrease of $204.7 million in 2022 was primarily attributable to the change in working capital, partially offset by higher net earnings.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first three months of 2022 was $115.5 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $333.3 million in the first three months of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in the redemptions of short-term investments of $225.2 million (net of purchases of short-term investments).

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first three months of 2022 was $9.0 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $120.2 million in the three months of 2021. The cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to the higher net proceeds from commercial paper of $319.6 million, partially offset by higher share repurchases of $183.7 million.

As of April 2, 2022, the Company had cash of $230.6 million, of which $215.2 million was held outside the United States. The Company plans to permanently reinvest the cash held outside the United States. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations and availability under its existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditure, working capital and debt servicing requirements over at least the next twelve months. The Company continually evaluates its projected needs and may conduct additional debt financings, subject to market conditions, to increase its liquidity and to take advantage of attractive financing opportunities.

On February 10, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock (the “2022 Share Repurchase Program”). For the three months ended April 2, 2022, the Company purchased $306.6 million of its common stock, exhausting the $36.8 million remaining under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program, and utilizing $269.8 million under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program. As of April 2, 2022, there remains $230.2 million authorized under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program.

See Note 18. Debt, of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the Company’s long-term debt. The Company may continue, from time to time, to retire its outstanding debt through cash purchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amount involved may be material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q under the heading “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements which is incorporated herein by reference.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation affects the Company’s manufacturing costs, distribution costs and operating expenses. The Company expects raw material prices, many of which are petroleum-based, to fluctuate based upon worldwide supply and demand of commodities utilized in the Company’s production process. Although the Company attempts to pass on increases in raw material, labor, energy and fuel-related costs to its customers, the Company’s ability to do so is dependent upon the rate and magnitude of any increase, competitive pressures and market conditions for the Company’s products. There have been in the past, and may be in the future, periods of time during which increases in these costs cannot be fully recovered. In the past, the Company has often been able to enhance productivity, reduce costs and develop new product innovations to help offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in its operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of April 2, 2022.

Seasonality

The Company is a calendar year-end company. With respect to its Global Ceramic Segment, the second quarter typically sees higher net sales, followed by the third and first quarters, while the fourth quarter shows weaker net sales. For the Global Ceramic Segment’s operating income, generally, the second quarter shows stronger earnings, followed by third and first quarters, and the fourth quarter shows weaker earnings. The Flooring NA Segment’s second quarter typically produces higher net sales followed by moderate third and fourth quarters, and a weaker first quarter. For the Flooring NA Segment’s operating income, historically, the third quarter shows stronger earnings, followed by second and fourth quarters, and a weaker first quarter. The Flooring ROW Segment’s second quarter historically produces higher net sales followed by moderate fourth and third quarters, and a weaker first quarter. For the Flooring ROW Segment’s operating income, generally, the second quarter shows stronger earnings, followed by first and third quarters, and the fourth quarter shows weaker earnings.

During 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic created volatility in the global economy, led to unpredictable economic activity and impacted the supply chain for raw materials and sourced finished goods. The COVID-19 pandemic might impact normal seasonality trends in 2022, but the extent and duration of such impact cannot be predicted.

The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations.

In response to Russian military actions in Ukraine, the Company has suspended new investments in Russia. The broader consequences of this conflict, which may include further economic sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, and geopolitical shifts; potential retaliatory actions, including nationalization of foreign-owned businesses; increased tensions between the U.S. and countries in which the Company operates; potential supply chain disruption of raw materials sourced from Ukraine, primarily clay, and materials and spare parts needed in the Company’s operations; global increases in the cost of natural gas, oil and oil-based raw materials and chemicals; and the extent of the conflict’s effect on the Company’s business and results of operations as well as the global economy cannot be predicted.

Any future consequences of the conflict, including economic sanctions, may result in an adverse effect on the Company’s Russian operations, which represented approximately 4% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company continues to monitor the potential impacts on its business and the ancillary impacts that the conflict may have on its other global operations.

Exhibit 95.1
Mine Safety Disclosure

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, which requires certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that operate mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”).
 
Mine Safety Information

Whenever the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) believes a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation which describes the alleged violation and fixes a time within which the U.S. mining operator must abate the alleged violation. In some situations, such as when MSHA believes that conditions pose a hazard to miners, MSHA may issue an order removing miners from the area of the mine affected by the condition until the alleged hazards are corrected. When MSHA issues a citation or order, it generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the alleged violation, that the operator is ordered to pay. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, may be reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders and proposed assessments vary depending on the size and type (underground or surface) of the mine as well as by the MSHA inspector(s) assigned.

The following table includes information required by the Act for the three months ended April 2, 2022.
