  • The Corporation expects to maintain a strong balance sheet through the remainder of 2022, and throughout 2023.
  • Low leverage and continued free cash flow generation are expected to provide ample capacity for investment, dividend payments, M&A, and share buyback.
  • Committed to core strategies, which will expand margins in Workplace Furnishings and drive long-term revenue growth in Residential Building Products
