Steelcase reported second quarter revenue of $855.8 million, a slight increase from the prior year. Net income increased significantly to $63.1 million, or $0.53 per share, and adjusted earnings per share grew to $0.39. The Americas saw revenue and order growth, driven by education and government customers, while International experienced a decline due to weakness in China.
Revenue was approximately flat compared to the prior year, with growth in the Americas offset by a decline in International.
Adjusted earnings per share increased by 26% driven by the seasonal strength of our education business and the continued progress of our profitability improvement initiatives.
Operating income increased significantly due to a gain on the sale of land and lower restructuring costs.
The company expects order patterns from our largest corporate customers to return to growth in the second half of the year.
