"During the second quarter, Interface managed through significant headwinds related to the global pandemic and resulting economic fallout by significantly reducing expenses and increasing our financial flexibility. We generated strong cash flow from operations of $48 million in the quarter, while pivoting our sales team to focus on more robust industries during this period, including healthcare and education. We also amplified our omni-channel marketing strategies, including online sales, in our FLOR business," said Dan Hendrix, Chairman and CEO of Interface.
"We will continue our efforts to expand market share during this difficult period through our targeted product innovation investments and focused sales and marketing initiatives. We remain committed to further improving the sustainability of our products, and we are on track to deliver our first-ever carbon negative carpet tile this year. We are encouraged by the early response from our customers as we prepare to bring our new non-vinyl and bio-based backing offerings to market before the end of 2020," he concluded.
"We continue to closely manage our cash flow and maintain solid liquidity during this ongoing period of softened demand," added Bruce Hausmann, CFO of Interface. "We ended the second quarter with $92 million of cash on hand and $240 million of borrowing availability under our revolver. In addition, we recently amended our credit facility providing for enhanced financial covenant flexibility through the first quarter of 2022. Our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 2.9x at the end of Q2 2020."

Outlook
Given the continued disruption of the global economy due to COVID-19, and the significant level of uncertainty created by the global pandemic, Interface is not providing fiscal year 2020 guidance.
The company has implemented several cost reducing initiatives to align with reduced customer demand and anticipates full year 2020 adjusted SG&A expenses of approximately $320 million. In addition, the company has moderated its capital spending plans and currently anticipates capital expenditures of $45 - $50 million for the full year 2020.
Cost Reclassifications
As previously reported in the 2019 year-end earnings release, the company has reclassified and standardized cost categories globally as part of the implementation of a global financial consolidation system and the integration of nora®. The company determined that this change better reflects how management views and operates the business. This change results in the reclassification of certain expenses between Cost of Sales and Selling, General & Administrative expenses. Starting in the first quarter of 2020, the reclassifications are presented retrospectively to make all periods comparable.
The following table summarizes the quarterly reclassifications:

The impacts of changes in foreign currency presented in the tables are calculated based on applying the prior year period's average foreign currency exchange rates to the current year period.
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.
