Interface ( (TILE) ) has shared an update.

Interface reported a strong first quarter for the period ended April 5, 2026, with net sales rising 11.3% year over year to $331 million, or 6.8% on a currency-neutral basis, and GAAP earnings per diluted share climbing to $0.40. Adjusted earnings per diluted share grew 64% to $0.41, supported by higher gross margins, improved operating income, and broad-based demand, particularly in corporate office and healthcare, prompting management to raise full-year guidance while highlighting disciplined execution, operational efficiencies and a solid balance sheet.
