They also saw increased operating profit in the Residential Building Products segment and maintained a solid operating profit in the Workplace Furnishings segment.
Delivered solid profits and increased second quarter operating cash flows by $20 million or 49 percent versus the prior year despite pandemic related top-line pressures.
Residential Building Products segment operating profit increased, and segment operating margin expanded on a year-over-year basis in the second quarter 2020.
Workplace Furnishings segment generated second quarter 2020 operating profit of nearly $8 million, despite a 25 percent year-over-year contraction on the top line.
Quarter-ending debt levels were $183 million, equal to a gross leverage ratio of approximately 0.8x. Liquidity, as measured by cash and borrowing availability, at the end of the second quarter was $392 million.
Pandemic-related uncertainty continues to limit visibility and our ability to provide guidance. However, we are seeing a seasonal uptick in sales and do expect third quarter sales and profit to track ahead of second quarter 2020 levels.
