Interface Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
Second quarter highlights (all comparisons are year-over-year):
Net sales totaled $376 million, up 8% and up 7% currency neutral.
GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.55, a 45% increase; Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.60, a 50% increase.
One Interface strategy continues to drive shareholder value.
'We delivered strong second quarter results ahead of our expectations with currency-neutral net sales growth of 7% and significantly expanded profitability. We continued to see strong momentum and market share gains in the Americas with currency-neutral net sales growth of 11% driven by our combined selling teams and expanded product offerings,' commented Laurel Hurd, CEO of Interface.
'Our One Interface strategy continues to yield measurable results, fueling growth across all product categories and key market segments. Second quarter global billings increased 28% in Healthcare, 11% in Education, and 3% in Corporate Office. Our performance reflects the strength of our strategy and market position, and our team's disciplined execution, despite market uncertainty,' continued Hurd.
'Gross profit margin expanded 403 basis points driven by higher pricing, favorable product mix, and higher sales volumes that generated manufacturing cost benefits in the second quarter. We are operating from a position of strength, with a solid balance sheet that gives us flexibility and optionality as we remain focused on long-term value creation for shareholders,' added Bruce Hausmann, CFO of Interface.

Second quarter 2025 adjusted gross profit margin increased 402 basis points year-over-year, due to higher pricing, favorable product mix, and lower manufacturing costs per unit on higher volume; partially offset by higher raw material costs.
Second quarter 2025 adjusted SG&A expenses increased $9.1 million year-over-year due to higher sales commissions and variable compensation on increased sales and profits, higher healthcare costs, inflation, and foreign currency exchange variances.

Outlook
Based on strong Q2 2025 results, Interface is raising its full fiscal year guidance, while acknowledging a dynamic and uncertain global macro environment. With that backdrop in mind, Interface anticipates the following:
Webcast and Conference Call Information
Interface will host a conference call on August 1, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, to discuss its second quarter 2025 results. The conference call will be simultaneously broadcast live over the Internet.
Listeners may access the conference call live over the Internet at:
https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/783508824, or through the Company's website at: https://investors.interface.com.
The archived version of the webcast will be available at these sites for one year beginning approximately one hour after the call ends.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Interface provides adjusted earnings per share, adjusted net income, adjusted operating income ("AOI"), adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted SG&A expenses, currency- neutral sales and currency-neutral sales growth, net debt, and adjusted EBITDA as additional information regarding its operating results in this press release. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with – or alternatives to – GAAP measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Adjusted EPS, adjusted net income, and AOI exclude nora purchase accounting amortization, restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net, and the cyber event impact. Adjusted EPS and adjusted net income also exclude the property casualty loss impact. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin exclude the nora purchase accounting amortization. Adjusted SG&A expenses exclude restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net and the cyber event impact. Currency-neutral sales and currency-neutral sales growth exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Net debt is total debt less cash on hand. Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, cyber event impact, property casualty loss impact, restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net, the nora purchase accounting amortization, and the loss on foreign subsidiary liquidation. This news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, which explains why Interface believes presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors, as well as any additional material purposes for which Interface uses these non-GAAP measures.

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

Jim Cramer Says He's 'Worried About Brighthouse Financial'
Brighthouse Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:BHF) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared insights on. A caller asked if they should buy, sell, or hold the stock, and Cramer stated: 'I'm worried about Brighthouse Financial… I prefer Chubb if I'm going to be in insurance business. I know Chubb has been a weak stock of late, but it's also 12 times earnings. I'm always willing to buy Chubb at 12 times earnings.' bluebay/ Brighthouse (NASDAQ:BHF) provides annuity and life insurance products designed to support wealth accumulation, income protection, and financial security. The company also manages legacy insurance obligations. Greenlight Capital stated the following regarding Brighthouse Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:BHF) in its Q1 2025 investor letter: 'The biggest long winner was Brighthouse Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:BHF), which rose 20.7% during the quarter. According to media reports, the company has hired Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo to sell itself. There appears to be a lot of interest from large asset managers that would like the opportunity to manage BHF's approximately $120 billion general account. While there is a risk the current market turbulence could derail a deal, absent that we expect the company will be successful in selling itself at a healthy premium.' While we acknowledge the potential of BHF as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Why Sprouts Farmers Market Plummeted, Then Started to Rebound Today
Key Points Sprouts Farmers Market sailed past analysts' expectations with its second-quarter earnings. Revenue grew by 17%, same-store sales grew by 10%, and profit margins continued to rise. Sprouts may be more expensive than it used to be, but it has a lengthy growth runway ahead of it still. 10 stocks we like better than Sprouts Farmers Market › Shares of better-for-you grocery chain Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ: SFM) are down 3% as of 2 p.m. ET on Thursday, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Sprouts reported second-quarter earnings on Wednesday afternoon that saw sales and earnings per share grow by 17% and 44%, respectively. While these results surpassed analysts' expectations, the stock initially dropped 8% overnight, before partially recovering. Strong results, but mixed reactions Sprouts focuses on the better-for-you portion of the grocery industry. Prioritizing organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan, plant-based, and grass-fed grocery items, the company has carved out a profitable niche in a premium industry. Delivering 17% sales growth in Q2 -- including 10% growth in same-store sales -- the market's adverse initial reaction to the results may seem somewhat odd. However, it is worth remembering that Sprouts' stock has risen more than fivefold in just three years. Along the way, its price-to-earnings ratio ballooned from 12 to 34 today. Said another way, the market was expecting borderline perfection out of Sprouts' stock this quarter, and it apparently came up just shy. Ultimately, Sprouts Farmers Market (the business) continues to fire on all cylinders. The company opened 12 new stores in Q2 and now operates 455 stores in 24 states. Despite this growing footprint, roughly 75% of Sprouts' stores can be found in five states, leaving a massive growth runway ahead. With a pipeline of 130 new store locations already approved, the company's double-digit growth should have ample opportunity to persist for years to come. Best yet for investors, as Sprouts' stores mature, the company's gross margins and EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) margins have improved for three straight years. Trading at 30 times forward earnings, Sprouts may be more expensive than it was, but its growth story is still nascent. Should you buy stock in Sprouts Farmers Market right now?
