For the full fiscal year, net sales were $2,486.6 million, reflecting a year-over-year decrease of 3.1%. On an organic basis, net sales decreased by 6.6% compared to last fiscal year.

Andi Owen, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “While the final quarter of fiscal 2020 unfolded in ways we could not have imagined at the beginning of the fiscal year, I’m incredibly proud of our global teams for the ways they have come together to overcome the disruptions brought on by COVID-19. From ensuring the health and safety of our employees, finding ways to support our communities and first responders, and helping take swift action on our spending levels, I’m grateful for the tremendous efforts of our people. As we look ahead, we are encouraged - the global economy is beginning to restart and our strategy positions us extremely well for the opportunities ahead. We are actively applying our knowledge and research capabilities to help our customers re-imagine both their office spaces and their home environments. Our multi-channel distribution model supports a diverse revenue base that allows us to reach commercial and residential audiences across the globe.

Consolidated gross margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 totaled 34.9%, representing a 210-basis point decrease from the same quarter last year. The decline in gross margin from last year was primarily driven by reduced production leverage due to lower manufacturing volume resulting from COVID-related facility shut-downs during the quarter.
Operating expenses in the fourth quarter were $154.9 million compared to $183.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. Operating expenses included certain special charges totaling $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and $1.7 million in the same quarter last year. These items in the current quarter primarily related to costs arising as a direct result of COVID-19. Excluding these special charges, operating expenses decreased by $32.1 million compared to the same quarter last year.
The Company recorded non-cash, pre-tax charges related to Design Within Reach, Maharam, HAY and naughtone for the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and right of use assets of $205.4 million in the fourth quarter. These charges were determined based on the Company's annual impairment review process and indicators of impairment arising from the impact of COVID-19 on financial results. The Company also recognized pre-tax restructuring expenses totaling $16.9 million in the fourth quarter. These items related primarily to severance and outplacement benefits associated with workforce reductions implemented during the quarter.
Herman Miller’s effective income tax rate in the fourth quarter was 14.2%, compared to 22.0% in the same quarter last fiscal year. Excluding the impact of adjustments related to impairment, restructuring and other special charges recorded during the quarter, a portion of which were not deductible for tax purposes, the effective tax rate in the quarter was 47.9%. This rate reflected both provision to return adjustments and the accrual of withholding taxes related to planned repatriation of cash from certain foreign jurisdictions.
Jeff Stutz, Chief Financial Officer, noted, “We remain focused on maintaining a strong liquidity position to navigate the uncertain business conditions that we are facing. Our cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fourth quarter totaled over $450 million. This balance reflected drawing excess cash from our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure and $50 million in proceeds from the issuance of private placement notes in May. Earlier in the quarter, we announced the temporary suspension of our share repurchase program and dividend payment to conserve capital as well as a series of actions aimed at reducing operating expenses. These included temporary salary reductions and the suspension of retirement contributions and our fiscal 2021 bonus program. We also reduced discretionary spending and workforce levels to better align to the current demand environment. Despite the challenges we faced this quarter, these actions highlight our ability to adapt and execute as we delivered positive adjusted operating income and operating cash flows in the period, and we have a strong and flexible balance sheet to support our business going forward.”
The Company ended the fourth quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of $454.0 million. This amount included a draw down of excess cash on its revolving credit facility of $265 million during the quarter, which was subsequently repaid in full on June 29, 2020. Additionally, Herman Miller previously announced the deferral of its quarterly dividend payment to shareholders of record as of February 29, 2020. That dividend was originally scheduled to be paid on April 15, 2020. The Company's Board of Directors has now approved the payment of this dividend, which will be made on July 15, 2020. The Company will, however, maintain a temporary suspension of future dividend payments given the ongoing uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Cash flow generated from operations in the fourth quarter and full fiscal year was $30.0 million and $221.8 million, respectively. This compared to $85.9 million and $216.4 million in the respective periods of last fiscal year.

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Guidance
The outbreak of COVID-19 has created a high degree of uncertainty throughout the global economy. Due to this uncertainty, and the rapidly changing effects of risk mitigation efforts to control the outbreak around the world, we are not able to reasonably estimate the impact of the outbreak on our business or financial results in the near-term. Accordingly, we are continuing to withhold providing guidance for the upcoming quarter while this uncertainty persists.

Organic Growth represents the change in sales and orders, excluding currency translation effects and the impact of acquisitions. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for investors as they provide financial information on a more comparative basis for the periods presented.
Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss), Adjusted Gross Margin, and Organic Growth (Decline) are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to the related GAAP measurement. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence of our GAAP results.
Certain tables below summarize select financial information, for the periods indicated, related to each of the Company’s reportable segments. The North America Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of furniture products for work-related settings, including office, education, and healthcare environments, throughout the United States and Canada.
