Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 8, 2018, management of Interface, Inc. (the "Company") will meet with and present to investors and potential investors.  A copy of the slide presentation management is expected to use is attached as Exhibit 99.1. The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Slide Presentation
The slide presentation includes, as additional information for investors, the Company's adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), organic sales and organic sales growth.  These measures are not in accordance with financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted income measures exclude: (1) restructuring and asset impairment charges; and (2) effects from the enactment of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 (the "Tax Act"); (3) the effects of transaction costs in connection with the Company's acquisition of nora systems; and (4) for the years 2012-2014, certain other unique or one-time events.  Adjusted SG&A also excludes transaction costs related to the nora acquisition.
Organic sales and organic sales growth exclude: (1) sales from the Company's exited FLOR specialty retail stores; and (2) foreign currency fluctuations.
The Company excludes the FLOR specialty retail stores and the Tax Act from adjusted income measures because it believes these events are unique and/or one-time events and do not arise from or constitute normal ongoing operations.  Similarly, since the Company engages in acquisitions only episodically, and not as an everyday matter, the Company believes presenting certain measures excluding the effects of acquisitions facilitates focus on normal ongoing operations.
In addition, since FLOR specialty retail sales will not be a material part of sales, the Company believes presenting organic sale information without historical FLOR specialty retail sales presents meaningful additional information on core ongoing operations.  Finally, the Company believes presenting sales information absent the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations facilitates comparison of the Company's operational performance between periods.
The Company generally believes reporting adjusted results helps investors' understanding of its historical operating trends, because it facilitates comparison to prior periods during which unique events affecting more recent results may not have occurred.  The Company also believes that adjusted results provide supplemental information for comparisons to other companies which may not have experienced the same events underlying the adjustments.  Furthermore, the Company uses adjusted results internally as supplemental information to evaluate its own performance, for planning purposes and in connection with its compensation programs.
