The company's net income rose to $27.5 million, equivalent to 23 cents per share, from the $19.6 million, or 17 cents a share, recorded during the same period in 2022.

Remarkably, Steelcase's revenue surpassed analyst estimates of $829.2 million, demonstrating resilience in a challenging business environment. CEO Sara Armbruster pointed out that although project activity softened slightly during the first half of the year, there has been noticeable growth in their ongoing business operations as customers invest more in their existing spaces.
The company's effective strategy to adapt to changing market conditions appears to be yielding positive results, as evidenced by its recent financial performance.
