Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Period-End

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018 which were retroactively adjusted due to recognition of discontinued operations for the GBL and GAC divestitures and change in plan to sell the HPC business in the Form 8-K issued on April 5, 2019.

SBH’s fiscal year ends on September 30 and the quarters ended on the last calendar day of the months of December, March and June prior to the completion of the Spectrum Merger on July 13, 2018 (See Note 4 – Acquisitions for further detail on the Spectrum Merger). SBH’s fiscal year ends September 30 and the Company reports its results using fiscal quarters whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length and ends on a Sunday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on October 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on September 30. As a result, the fiscal period end date for the three month period, included within this Quarterly Report for SBH, is June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, consistent with the fiscal calendar and the fiscal period end date for the three and nine month periods included within this Quarter Report for SB/RH is June 30, 2019 and July 1, 2018, consistent to the Spectrum fiscal calendar. The Company did not adjust for the difference in the fiscal periods between Spectrum and HRG, as such difference would be less than 93 days, pursuant to Regulation S-X Rule 3A-02.

Prior year misstatement

During the fiscal fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company identified a cumulative out of period error in Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax, from depreciation on property plant and equipment and amortization of definite-lived intangible assets that was included as part of the GBA disposal group, including both GBL and HPC operations, and recognized as a component of discontinued operations subsequent to being recognized as held for sale effective December 29, 2018. The Company has updated the consolidated financial results for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018, to remove depreciation and amortization of $13.7 million and $27.0 million, respectively, from Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax. As a result, the GBL divestiture for the three month period ended June 30, 2018 does not include depreciation & amortization from property, plant and equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets. Additionally, in November 2018, the Company made a strategic decision to cease marketing and actively pursuing a sale of the HPC division and to continue to manage and operate the business for continued use. Subsequently, the HPC net assets were reclassified as held for use and the operating results and cash flows are included within the Company’s income from continuing operations for both the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Upon recognition of the Company’s change in plan to sell HPC, the net assets were measured at the carrying amount before HPC was classified as held for sale and adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the business been continuously classified as held and used. There was no impairment or loss recognized when the decision to not sell was made.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract and performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and all the related amendments on October 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new revenue standard as a reduction of $0.7 million, net of tax, to the opening balance of Accumulated Earnings at the beginning of the fiscal year 2019. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The following are changes to the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies from those previously disclosed in Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Practices to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended September 30, 2018 and Form 8-K issued on April 5, 2019.

Product Sales

Our customers mostly consist of retailers, wholesalers and distributors, and construction companies with the intention to sell and distribute to an end consumer. Spectrum recognizes revenue from the sale of products upon transfer of control to the customer. For the majority of our product sales, the transfer of control is recognized when we ship the product from our facilities to the customer. Timing of revenue recognition for a majority of the Company’s sales continues to be consistent. Previously, the Company deferred recognition of revenue if title and risk of loss were retained upon shipment, but the customer arranged and paid for freight such that they had physical possession and control. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment for these transactions. This change did not have a material impact on the Company’s adoption of the new standard on October 1, 2018 or comparability to revenue in prior periods.

Licensing Revenue

The Company also sells licenses of its brands to third-party sellers and manufacturers for the development, production, sales & distribution of products that are not directly managed or offered by the Company. The Company maintains all right of ownership of the intellectual property and contracts with its customer for the use of the intellectual property in their operations. Under ASC 606, revenue derived from the right-to-access licenses is recognized using the over time revenue recognition method. We elected to recognize revenue under the ‘as-invoiced’ practical expedient method at the amount we are able to bill using a time-elapsed measure of progress. The Company has assessed that recognizing revenue based on a time-elapsed measure of progress, taking into consideration any minimum guarantee provisions under the contract, appropriately depicts its performance of providing access to the Company’s brands, trade names, logos, etc. This change did not have a material impact on the Company’s adoption of the new standard on October 1, 2018 or comparability to revenue recognition in prior periods.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists primarily of installation or maintenance services that are provided to certain customers in the PET segment. The services are often associated with the sale of product but are also provided separately and are considered a distinct performance obligation separate from product sales.
‎

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Variable Consideration and Cash Paid to Customers

The Company measures revenue as the amount of consideration for which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Certain retailers and/or end customers may receive cash or non-cash incentives such as rebates, volume or trade discounts, cooperative advertising, price protection, service level penalties, and other customer-related programs, which are accounted for as variable consideration. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. The estimated liability for sales discounts and other programs and allowances is calculated using the expected value method or most likely amount and recorded at the time of sale as a reduction of net sales.

The Company also enters into various arrangements, primarily with retail customers, which require the Company to make upfront cash payments to secure the right to distribute through such customers. The Company capitalizes these payments, provided they are supported by a volume-based arrangement with the retailer with a period of 12 months or longer, and amortizes the associated payment over the appropriate time or volume-based term of the arrangement. Capitalized payments are recognized as a contract asset and are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as Deferred Charges and Other Assets and related amortization is treated as a reduction in Net Sales.

Product returns

In the normal course of business, Spectrum may allow customers to return product per the provisions in a sale agreement. Estimated product returns are recorded as a reduction in reported revenues at the time of sale based upon historical product return experience, adjusted for known trends, to arrive at the amount of consideration expected to receive. For the anticipated value of the returns, the adoption of Topic 606 resulted in the recognition of a return asset included in the Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and the returns liability recognized in Other Current Liabilities. The Company recognized an expected returns liability of $40.5 million as of June 30, 2019, most of which the Company does not expect or anticipate a returned asset. Prior to the adoption of Topic 606, the reserve for product returns was recognized net of anticipated value of returned product as a reduction to Trade Receivable, Net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and was $34.6 million as of September 30, 2018.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities which occur after control of the related goods transfers as fulfillment activities instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations. The use of the practical expedient did not impact the accounting for the adoption of Topic 606.

The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component, as the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the customer’s payment for the good or service is one year or less.

The Company does not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. The estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period is immaterial.

The Company generally expenses sales commissions and other contract and fulfillment costs when the amortization period is less than one year. The Company records these costs within selling, general and administrative expenses. For costs amortized over a period longer than one year, such as fixtures which are much more permanent in nature, the Company defers and amortizes over the supportable period based upon historical assumptions and analysis. The costs for permanent displays are incorporated into the pricing of product sold to customer.

The Company excludes all sales taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority from the transaction price.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses diversity in practice with the classification and presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update address the classification within the statement of cash flow for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, and beneficial interests in securitization transactions, among other separately identifiable cash flows when applying the predominance principle. The Company retrospectively adopted ASU 2016 -15 on October 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which addresses diversity in practice with the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flow, classifying transfers between cash and restricted cash as operating, investing, or financing activities, or as a combination of those activities, in the statement of cash flows. The amendment requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents; and include with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company retrospectively adopted ASU 2016-18 on October 1, 2018. The Company does not have any restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2019; however, the Company had $8.9 million of restricted cash included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of September 30, 2018 that primarily consisted of funds held in escrow for a contingent payment related to our PetMatrix acquisition that was subsequently paid during the current quarter. Restricted cash and changes in restricted cash have been reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension costs within the statement of income. The amendment provides guidance requiring the service cost component to be recognized consistent with other compensation costs arising from service rendered by employees during the period, and all other components to be recognized separately outside of the subtotal of income from operations. Due to the adoption of ASU No. 2017-07, the components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component are recognized as Other Non-Operating (Income) Expense, Net on the Statement of Income. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-07 requires a retrospective restatement of prior periods, which was inconsequential to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. See Note 14 Employee Benefits Plan for further detail on the components of net periodic costs.

‎

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments-Overall. This new standard enhances the reporting model for financial instruments regarding certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. This ASU is to be applied using a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16“Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory”, which eliminates the exception of recognizing, at the time of transfer, current and deferred income taxes for intra-entity asset transfers other than inventory. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-16, the Company recognized the tax expense from the sale of that asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurred, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arose in the buyer’s jurisdiction was also recognized at the time of the transfer. Modified retrospective adoption was required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment consisted of the net impact from (1) the write-off of any unamortized tax expense previously deferred and (2) recognition of any previously unrecognized deferred tax assets, net of any necessary valuation allowances. The Company implemented this ASU on October 1, 2018. During the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company identified an error in the impact from adoption on the Company’s deferred tax assets of $30.7 million, impacting the cumulative impact from adoption recognized. The Company concluded that the misstatement was not material to the consolidated financial statements and corrected the cumulative adoption at the beginning of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. Effectively, the cumulative impact arising from the adoption was a decrease to Accumulated Earnings as of October 1, 2018 of $2.4 million. The impact of the adoption of this standard on future periods is dependent on future asset transfers, which generally occur in connection with acquisitions and other business restructuring activities.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Although the new ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists as the economics of leases can vary. The ASU can be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with a number of optional practical expedients relating to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, along with the ability to use hindsight in the evaluation of lease decisions, that entities may elect to apply. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of its first quarter of 2020. We have performed a preliminary assessment of the impact of the pronouncement to the Company’s financial statements and are currently performing detailed assessments over identified lease arrangements and the impact to our processes and control environment. We have not measured the impact of adoption at this point in our assessment and have not concluded on the overall materiality of the impact of adoption to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Topic 815), which changes the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. The amendments in this update make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP, better aligning the entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. The ASU can only be applied prospectively, and will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2020; with early adoption available. We are currently assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not yet concluded on the materiality or timing of the adoption.

Transaction related charges

Transaction related charges consist of transaction costs from (1) qualifying acquisition transactions associated with the completion of the purchase of net assets or equity interest of a business such as a business combination, equity investment, joint venture or purchase of non-controlling interest; (2) subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business including costs for integration of acquired operations into the Company’s shared service platforms, termination of redundant positions and locations, employee transition costs, integration related professional fees and other post business combination expenses; and (3) divestiture support and separation costs consisting of incremental costs incurred by the continuing operations after completion of the transaction to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction. Divestiture-related charges prior to completion of the transaction are recognized as a component of Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax. Transaction costs include, but are not limited to, banking, advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional fees directly related to the respective transactions. Additionally, transaction related charges include costs attributable to the plan to market and sell the HPC operations that was subsequently classified as continuing operations for all periods presented. See Note 3 – Divestitures and Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for more information. The following table summarizes transaction related charges incurred by the Company during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

GBL

On January 2, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its GBL business pursuant to the GBL acquisition agreement with Energizer for cash proceeds of $1,956.2 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $990.6 million, including the estimated settlement of customary purchase price adjustments for working capital and assumed indebtedness, recognition of tax and legal indemnifications under the acquisition agreement and an estimated contingent purchase price adjustment for the settlement of the planned divestiture of the Varta® consumer batteries business by Energizer. The results of operations and gain on sale for disposal of the GBL business are recognized as a component of discontinued operations.

The GBL acquisition agreement provides for a purchase price adjustment that is contingent upon the completion of the divestiture of the Varta® consumer battery, chargers, portable power and portable lighting business in the EMEA region by Energizer, including manufacturing and distribution facilities in Germany. The purchase price adjustment includes a potential downward adjustment equal to 75% of the difference between the divestiture sale price and the target sale price of $600 million, not to exceed $200 million, or a potential upward adjustment equal to 25% of the excess purchase price. On May 29, 2019, Energizer entered into an agreement to sell the Varta® consumer batteries business and, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the GBL acquisition agreement, Spectrum will contribute USD $200.0 million to Energizer in connection with the sale of the Varta® consumer batteries business.

The Company and Energizer have agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the GBL acquisition agreement and for certain other matters. Spectrum has agreed to indemnify Energizer for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by Spectrum, and Energizer has agreed to indemnify Spectrum for certain liabilities assumed by Energizer, in each case as described in the acquisition agreement. The Company has recognized $50.4 million related to indemnifications in accordance with the acquisition agreement.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company has recognized an estimated net settlement payable of $235.4 million in Other Current Liabilities and $18.9 million in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements associated with the GBL acquisition agreement, including the subsequent settlement of customary purchase price adjustments for working capital and assumed indebtedness, tax and legal indemnifications, contingent purchase price adjustment for the settlement of the planned Varta® consumer batteries business and other agreed-upon funding in accordance with the agreement.

Spectrum and Energizer entered into related agreements that became effective upon the consummation of the acquisition including a customary transition services agreement (“TSA”) and reverse TSA. The TSA and reverse TSA are recognized as a component of continuing operations for periods following the completion of the GBL sale. See Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for additional discussion.

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a $110.0 million write-down on net assets held for sale associated with the GAC divestiture attributable to the expected fair value to be realized from the sale, net of transaction costs. During the three month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized adjustments to the write-down on net assets held for sale to fair value less cost to sell for changes to the estimated settlement of customary purchase price adjustments, tax and legal indemnifications, and other agreed-upon funding under the acquisition agreement.

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred transaction costs of $8.8 million associated with the divestiture which have been recognized as a component of income from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. No transaction costs were recognized in component of income from discontinued operations in the current quarter. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred and include fees for investment banking services, legal, accounting, due diligence, tax, valuation and various other services necessary to complete the transactions. After the completion of the divestiture, the Company incurred incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction which have been recognized as Transaction Related Charges as part of continuing operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

NOTE 3 – DIVESTITURES (continued)

HRG - Insurance Operations

On November 30, 2017, Fidelity and Guaranty Life (“FGL”) completed the FGL Merger pursuant to which, except for certain shares specified in the FGL Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of FGL was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive $31.10 in cash, without interest. The total consideration received by HRG Group Inc. (“HRG”) as a result of the completion of the FGL Merger was $1,488.3 million. Also, on November 30, 2017, Front Street Re (Delaware) Ltd. (“Front Street”) sold to CF Corporation and its related entities (collectively, the “CF Entities”) all the issued and outstanding shares of Front Street for $65 million, which was subject to reduction for customary transaction expenses. In addition, $6.5 million of the purchase price was deposited in escrow for a period of 15 months to support any indemnification claims that might be made (if any) by the CF entities. The operations of FGL were classified as discontinued operations through November 30, 2017 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table summarizes the components of income from discontinued operations from discontinued operations from the HRG Insurance Operations divestiture in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018, with completion of divestiture on November 30, 2017.

Property, Plant, and Equipment and long-lived assets classified as held for sale were measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. As of September 30, 2017, the carrying value of HRG’s interest in FGL and Front Street exceeded their respective estimated fair value less cost to sell by $402.2 million and $19.0 million, respectively. The higher carrying value of FGL was primarily due to the increase in unrealized gains, net of offsets in FGL’s investment portfolio, with the effects of the unrealized gains, net of offsets, being recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Upon the completion of the FGL Merger, HRG deconsolidated its ownership interest in FGL, which resulted in the reclassification of $445.9 million of accumulated other comprehensive income attributable from FGL to income from discontinued operations in the fiscal year 2018. Additionally, after the close of the FGL Merger, the Company recognized a $5.9 million tax benefit allocated to HRG insurance discontinued operations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, associated with the reversal of valuation allowance realized with the completion of the Spectrum Merger.

NOTE 3 – DIVESTITURES (continued)

HPC

In December 2017, the Company entered into a plan to divest its HPC division as a component of its GBA business, and was actively marketing the HPC business, including discussions with third parties for the potential sale of the HPC business. As a result, the HPC business met the criteria for recognition as assets held for sale and was reported as held for sale and included as a component of discontinued operations. Subsequently, in November 2018, the Company made a strategic decision to cease pursuing a sale of the HPC division and to continue to manage and operate the business for continued use. As a result, the HPC net assets were reclassified as held for use and the operating results and cash flows are included within the Company’s income from continuing operations for both the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Upon recognition of the Company’s change in plan to sell HPC, the net assets were measured at the carrying amount before HPC was classified as held for sale and adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the business been continuously classified as held and used. There was no impairment or loss recognized when the decision to not sell was made.

Amounts previously reported as discontinued operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018 have been reclassified as part of the Company’s income from continuing operations and assets held for use to conform with the current period. The following tables summarize the effect of the change in plan to sell the HPC business and reclassification of the GAC business to discontinued operations on the previously reported condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018.

Acquisitions

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS

Spectrum Merger

Effective July 13, 2018, the Company completed the Spectrum Merger. Prior to the Spectrum Merger, the Company was a holding company, doing business as HRG and conducting its operations principally through its majority owned subsidiaries. In accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), HRG, through, HRG SPV Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of HRG (“Merger Sub”), merged with and into Spectrum, with Spectrum continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HRG. The certificate of incorporation of HRG was amended and restated, pursuant to which, among other things, the corporate name of HRG was changed to “Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.”, the Board of Directors of Spectrum were designated as the Board of Directors of the Company with an individual designated by Jefferies Financial Group (“Jefferies”) and the officers of Spectrum became officers of SBH. Further, HRG subsequently began operating under the name of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. and the NYSE ticker symbol of HRG Common Stock changed to “SPB”.

Immediately prior to the close of the Spectrum Merger, each issued and outstanding share of HRG common stock was, by means of a reverse stock split, combined into a fraction of a share of HRG Common Stock equal to (i) the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Spectrum common stock held by HRG and its subsidiaries, adjusted for HRG’s net indebtedness as of closing, certain transaction expenses of HRG that were unpaid as of closing and a $200.0 million upward adjustment, divided by (ii) as of immediately prior to the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of HRG common stock on a fully-diluted basis. Each share of Spectrum common stock issued and outstanding (other than shares held in treasury of Spectrum or held by HRG) were converted into the right to receive one share of newly issued HRG common stock and exchanged for HRG common stock. The weighted average shares and earnings per share data on the Consolidated Statements of Income were retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split for all periods presented. See Note 20 – Earnings Per Share - SBH for further detail on the conversion rate and reverse stock split.

Each restricted stock award, restricted stock unit and performance stock unit granted under an equity plan of Spectrum, whether vested or unvested, were assumed by SBH and automatically converted into a corresponding equity-based award in SBH with the right to hold or acquire shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of Spectrum common stock previously underlying such award. Each new award is subject to the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Spectrum award. SBH assumed all rights and obligations in respect of each equity-based plan of Spectrum. The modification of the Spectrum awards to account for the exchange did not result in incremental expense and the recognized shared based compensation expense associated with the awards are based upon the fair value at the original grant date. See Note 15 – Share Based Compensation for further discussion of Spectrum share based awards.

Prior to the close, each stock option, warrant and restricted stock award granted under an equity-based plan of HRG outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the closing became fully vested and each stock option and warrant became exercisable. Each exercisable award that is unexercised shall be adjusted (including to give effect to the reverse stock split) and shall remain outstanding, subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding award. Immediately prior to the reverse stock split, each HRG restricted stock award shall become fully vested and be treated as a share of HRG common stock for purposes of the reverse stock split and the Merger. As a result, there are no unvested HRG equity based awards outstanding and all previously unrecognized stock compensation was recognized effective the date of close. See Note 15 – Share Based Compensation for further discussion of HRG share based awards.

The Spectrum Merger was accounted for as an acquisition of a non-controlling interest. Prior to completion of the Spectrum Merger, the Company recognized non-controlling interest and income attributable to non-controlling interest in the Consolidated Financial Statements of SBH for the minority ownership of Spectrum. Effective July 13, 2018, Spectrum is a wholly owned subsidiary of SBH and all recognized non-controlled interest associated with Spectrum is part of SBH’s shareholder’s equity and income after completion of the Spectrum Merger will be fully recognized as income attributable to controlling interest of SBH. As previously discussed, the presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and certain notes to the consolidated financial statements have been updated to reflect the presentation of Spectrum’s historical financial statements.

During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred costs of $3.1 million, and $22.0 million, respectively, associated with the Spectrum Merger and recognized as General and Administrative Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income of SBH.

Restructuring And Related Charges

NOTE 5 - RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

Global Productivity Improvement Plan – At the start of the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company announced a company-wide, multi-year program referred to as Project Ignite which consists of various restructuring related initiatives to redirect resources and spending to drive growth, identify cost savings and pricing opportunities through standardization and optimization, develop organizational and operating optimization, and reduce overall operational complexity across the Company. Since the announcement of the project and subsequent announcement and completion of the Company’s divestitures in GBL and GAC, the project shifted its focus on the development of these initiatives within the Company’s continuing operations, including transitioning the Company in the post-divestiture environment and from the Company’s continuing involvement with Energizer. Refer to Note 3 – Divestitures and Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for further discussion of continuing involvement with Energizer. The initiative includes review of global processes, opportunity spending and organization design and structures; headcount reductions and transfers; and rightsizing the Company’s shared operations and commercial business strategy in certain regions and local jurisdictions; among others. Total cumulative costs incurred associated with the project were $38.1 million as of June 30, 2019; with $44.9 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project costs are anticipated to be incurred through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

HHI Distribution Center Consolidation – During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Company implemented an initiative within the HHI segment to consolidate certain operations and reduce operating costs. The initiative included headcount reductions and the exit of certain facilities, including such incremental costs to consolidate or close facilities, relocate employees, cost to retrain employees to use newly deployed assets or systems, lease termination costs, and redundant or incremental transitional operating costs and customer fines and penalties incurred during transition, among others. Total cumulative costs associated with this initiative was $81.7 million. The project was completed as of December 30, 2018.

Other Restructuring Activities – The Company may enter into small, less significant initiatives and restructuring related activities to reduce costs and improve margins throughout the organization. Individually these activities are not substantial and occur over a shorter time period (generally less than 12 months).

The following summarizes restructuring and related charges for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

As of September 30, 2018	$	704.3	$	435.9	$	196.5	$	118.0	$	1,454.7

As of June 30, 2019	$	703.3	$	433.7	$	196.5	$	117.5	$	1,451.0

As a result of the Company’s divestiture of the GBL division and decision to retain the HPC division, the Company reconsidered the way management views its business activities and reportable segments; which also changed the reporting units that the Company utilizes to recognize goodwill. Spectrum had historically recognized goodwill at its Global Batteries and Appliance (GBA) reporting unit and separate operating segment. With the separation of the GBL and HPC components, goodwill previously recognized as part of the GBA reporting unit was allocated to HPC and the GBL discontinued operations, based upon relative fair value, during the first quarter when the decision was made to retain the HPC division and separate HPC assets from the GBL assets. No goodwill impairment was recorded in connection with the GBL divestiture and change to the plan of sale of the HPC division. Refer to Note 3 - Divestitures and Note 19 - Segment information for further discussion.

Certain tradename intangible assets have an indefinite life and are not amortized. The balance of tradenames not subject to amortization was $1,059.6 million and $1,064.4 million as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

The carrying value and accumulated amortization for definite lived intangible assets subject to amortization are as follows:

Amortization expense from the intangible assets for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $16.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively. Amortization expense from the intangible assets for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $66.6 million and $41.1 million, respectively. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, there was incremental amortization expense of $15.5 million attributable to amortization expense on intangible assets of HPC that were previously held for sale. See Note 3 – Divestitures for further discussion of the change in plan to sell the HPC division.

Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions or changes in foreign currency, the Company estimates annual amortization expense of intangible assets for the next five fiscal years will be as follows:

The Revolver Facility is subject to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% per annum, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% per annum. As a result of borrowings and payments under the Revolver Facility, the Company had borrowing availability of $724.4 million at June 30, 2019, net of outstanding letters of credit of $20.0 million and a $1.5 million amount allocated to a foreign subsidiary.

On October 31, 2018, the Company repaid its CAD Term Loan in full for $32.6 million of outstanding principal and interest.

On January 4, 2019, the Company repaid its USD Term Loan in full using proceeds received from the divestiture of GBL, recognizing a loss on extinguishment of the debt of $9.0 million within interest expense attributable to a non-cash charge from the write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount associated with the debt.

NOTE 12 - DERIVATIVES

Cash Flow Hedges

Interest Rate Swaps. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges with the changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The swaps settle periodically in arrears with the related amounts for the current settlement period payable to, or receivable from, the counterparties included in accrued liabilities or receivables, respectively, and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. Any ineffective portion of the unrealized gains or losses is immediately recorded into earnings. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a series of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fix the interest on floating rate debt related to the 2022 Term Loan, exclusive of lender spreads, at 1.76% for a notional principal amount of $300.0 million through May 8, 2020. On January 4,2019, the underlying debt and related hedge were settled. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $3.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, recognized as a component of discontinued operations as interest expense from the Term Loans allocated to discontinued operations per Note 3 – Divestitures. As of June 30, 2019, there are no outstanding interest rate swaps hedges.

Commodity Swaps. The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically brass used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials using commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At June 30, 2019, the Company had a series of brass swap contracts outstanding through November 30, 2020. The derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $0.1 million, net of tax. The Company had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net Sales or purchase price variance in Cost of Goods Sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At June 30, 2019, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through December 24, 2020. The derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $3.1 million, net of tax. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $193.5 million and $261.6 million, respectively.

Net Investment Hedge

On September 20, 2016, SBI issued €425 million aggregate principle amount of 4.00% Notes. See Note 11 - Debt for further detail. The 4.00% Notes are denominated in Euros and have been designated as a net investment hedge of the translation of the Company’s net investments in Euro denominated subsidiaries at the time of issuance. As a result, the translation of the Euro denominated debt is recognized as AOCI with any ineffective portion recognized as foreign currency translation gains or losses on the statement of income when the aggregate principal exceeds the net investment in its Euro denominated subsidiaries. Net gains or losses from the net investment hedge are reclassified from AOCI into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of Euro denominated subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2019, the hedge was fully effective, and no ineffective portion was recognized in earnings.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Taiwanese Dollars, Russian Ruble, Philippine Peso, or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At June 30, 2019, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through July 26, 2019. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had $1,089.3 million and $105.2 million, respectively, of notional value of such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.

The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which were not significant as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral because of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. As of June 30, 2019, and September 30, 2018, there was no cash collateral outstanding. In addition, as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions.

Investments consist of our investment in Energizer common stock and is valued at quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market. As part of consideration received for the GAC divestiture, the Company received 5.3 million shares of Energizer common stock, valued at $242.1 million on January 28, 2019, the effective close date of the GAC divestiture. During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $33.2 million and $38.2 million, respectively, of unrealized loss on investment in Energizer common stock and $1.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of dividend income, which were recognized as Other Non-Operating (Income) Expense, Net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

See Note 12 – Derivatives for additional detail on derivative assets and liabilities.

The fair value measurements of the Company’s debt are valued at quoted input prices that are directly observable or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. See Note 11 – Debt for additional detail on outstanding debt of SBH and SB/RH.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and short term debt approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Share Based Compensation

NOTE 15 - SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Share based compensation expense is recognized as General and Administrative Expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and consists of costs from the Spectrum equity plan. The following is a summary of share based compensation expense for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 for SBH and SB/RH, respectively.


	Three Month Periods Ended				Nine Month Periods Ended
(in millions)	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018		June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
SBH	$	14.0	$	5.7	$	35.8	$	7.0
SB/RH		13.6		4.9		34.7		4.6

The Company recognizes share based compensation expense primarily from the issuance of its Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) based on the fair value of the awards, as determined by the market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the designated grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Certain RSUs are performance-based awards that are dependent upon achieving specified financial metrics over a designated period of time.

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company provided to certain employees RSU awards issued under a new Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), with a 3-year, cliff vesting schedule and having both performance conditions dependent upon achieving specified financial targets (adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow) and time-based service conditions (70% performance/30% service). LTIP awards were granted in January upon approval from the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition to the LTIP awards, the Company also provided for bridge awards that are one-time awards to certain employees for transitioning to the new LTIP from previous equity incentive compensation plans. Bridge awards vest annually, on November 21, 2019 and November 21, 2020, and have both performance conditions dependent upon achieving specified financial targets (adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow) and time-based service conditions (60% performance/40% service). Bridge awards are also payable in either RSUs or cash, or both, based upon an employee election. Bridge awards elected to be payable in RSU are recognized as equity awards and included as a component of share-based compensation expense. The new awards were granted and recognized as compensation expense in January.

Additionally, the Company regularly issues individual RSU awards under its equity plan to its Board members and individual employees for recognition, incentive, or retention purposes, when needed, which are primarily conditional upon time-based service conditions and included as a component of share-based compensation. In addition to RSU awards, Spectrum also provides for a portion of its annual management incentive compensation plan (“MIP”) to be paid in common stock of the Company, in lieu of cash payment, and is recognized as a liability plan. Share based compensation expense associated with the annual MIP was $4.3 million and $12.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $3.5 million and $6.8 million and for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The remaining unrecognized pre-tax compensation cost for SBH and SB/RH at June 30, 2019 was $56.3 million and $55.9 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:


	Three Month Periods Ended		Nine Month Periods Ended
Effective tax rate	June 30, 2019	June 30, 2018	June 30, 2019	June 30, 2018
SBH	225.8%	(792.4%)	(20.3%)	3,218.9%
SB/RH	236.5%	33.9%	(131.4%)	(97.2%)

The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), local taxes in excess of the US tax rate, and net operating losses outside the U.S. that are not more likely than not to result in a tax benefit. The Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, which do not allow it to take advantage of the foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) deduction. The Company’s federal effective tax rate on GILTI is therefore 21%.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of December 22, 2017 (the “Tax Reform Act”) reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21%, effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Reform Act also provided for a one-time deemed mandatory repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits (“E&P”), payable in installments over 8 years, and provided for a dividends received deduction for dividends from foreign subsidiaries.

On June 14, 2019, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued Regulations (“Regulations”) related to the foreign dividends received deduction and GILTI. The Regulations contained language that modified certain provisions of the Tax Reform Act and previously issued guidance. The Regulations are retroactive to January 1, 2018 and caused certain distributions made by the Company’s non-US subsidiaries during Fiscal 2018 to be taxable as Subpart F income on its Fiscal 2018 federal income tax return. The impacts of the Regulations were recorded in the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019. The Company used an additional $450.8 million in net operating losses and recognized $95.1 million in federal and state tax expense due to the impact on prior distributions among subsidiaries. The Company also recognized a $48.0 million tax benefit from recalculating its one-time deemed mandatory repatriation liability after application of the Regulations and the final calculations for its Fiscal 2018 federal income tax returns, including the ability for the Company to offset the liability in part by foreign tax credits. The Company recorded $63.9 million of foreign tax credits, but concluded it is more likely than not these credits will expire unused and therefore also recorded a $63.9 million valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

The income recognized as a result of the Regulations increased the likelihood that the Company could use federal net operating losses subject to certain limits, and there is a reasonable possibility that the Company could therefore release all or a portion of $36.7 million of valuation allowance on these losses in future periods. The Company has not generated operating taxable income in the affected subsidiaries and therefore concluded that utilization of these net operating losses is still not more likely than not.

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized a $198.7 million tax benefit from revaluing its ending net U.S. deferred tax liabilities as a result of the reduction in US corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and recognized $71.0 million of income tax expense for the one-time deemed mandatory repatriation. During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018, the Company released $335.0 million of valuation allowance on its U.S. federal net deferred tax assets as a result of the Spectrum Merger.

As of June 30, 2019, $22.9 million of the mandatory repatriation liability is still outstanding and $2.0 million is due and payable in the next 12 months but will be offset by previous payments and credits.

The June 30, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for SB/RH Holdings, LLC contains $114.9 million of income taxes payable to its parent company, calculated as if SB/RH Holdings, LLC were a separate taxpayer.

In response to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. SAB 118 allows registrants to record provisional amounts during a one year measurement period in a manner similar to accounting for business combinations. The measurement period ended December 30, 2018 and the Company did not recognize changes in the current year to the provisional tax impacts prior to the closing of the measurement period. Portions of the Tax Reform Act are unclear or have not yet been clarified and interpretations and regulations continue to be issued, which could have a material impact on what the Company has recorded to date.

NOTE 17 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Energizer Holdings, Inc.

Effective the close of the GBL end GAC divestitures, Spectrum and Energizer entered into a series of transition services agreements (“TSAs”) and reverse TSAs that support various shared back office administrative functions including finance, sales and marketing, information technology, human resources, real estate and supply chain, customer service and procurement; to support both the transferred GBL operations and the continuing operations of Spectrum, respectively, within the various regions in which they operate. Charges associated with TSAs and reverse TSAs are recognized as bundled service costs under a fixed fee structure by the respective service or function and geographic location and one-time pass-through charges, including warehousing, freight, among others, to and from Energizer that settled on a net basis between the two parties. The TSAs and reverse TSAs were further expanded to incorporate the activity and operations attributable to the close of the GAC divestiture. Charges to Energizer for TSA services are recognized as a reduction of the respective operating costs incurred by Spectrum and recognized as a component of operating expense or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by Spectrum. Charges from Energizer for reverse TSA services are recognized as operating expenses or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by Energizer. The TSAs and reverse TSAs have an overall expected time period of 12 months following the close of the transaction with some variability in expiration dependent upon the completed transition of the respective service or function and its geographic location and provide up to 12 additional months for a total duration of up to 24 months. During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized net income associated with TSAs and reverse TSAs of $1.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively, consisting of TSA charges of $6.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively, and reverse TSA costs of $4.8 million and $8.9 million, respectively. In addition to the TSAs and reverse TSAs, both the Company and Energizer will receive cash and/or make payments on behalf of the respective counterparty’s operations as part of the shared administrative functions, resulting in cash flow being commingled with the operating cash flow of the Company. The Company recognizes a net payable or receivable with Energizer for any outstanding TSA and reverse TSA related services and net working capital attributable to commingled cash flow. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has a net receivable of $4.0 million attributable to TSA and reverse TSA services, net working capital settlements and other pass-through costs included in Non-Trade Receivables on the Company’s Condensed Statement of Financial Position.

Effective the close of the GAC divestiture, the Company’s H&G segment will continue to manufacture certain GAC related products at its facilities and sell the products to Energizer as a third-party supplier on an ongoing basis, at inventory cost plus contracted markup, as agreed upon in the supply agreement. The supply agreement has a contracted term of 24 months and may be subject to early termination by either party at any time with written notice. Material and inventory on hand to support the supply agreement is recognized as inventory of the Company. During the three and nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $4.6 and $8.3 million, respectively, of revenue attributable to the Energizer supply agreement as a component of H&G revenue after completion of the GAC divestiture. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had an outstanding receivable of $0.9 million from Energizer in Trade Receivables, Net on the Company’s Condensed Statement of Financial Position associated with the H&G supply agreement.

As a condition to the consummation of the GAC acquisition and receipt of 5.3 million shares of Energizer common stock as consideration, the Company entered into a shareholder agreement with Energizer (“Energizer Shareholder Agreement”) which contains a 24-month standstill provision that prohibits the Company from engaging in certain transactions involving Energizer to control or influence management, board of directors or policies of Energizer. Additionally, for a period of 18 months following the closing of the GAC acquisition, the Company is required to vote in favor of Energizer’s board of director nominees and in accordance with the Energizer board’s recommendations on all other matters at any meeting of Energizer’s shareholders. Additionally, pursuant to the Energizer Shareholder Agreement, the Company has agreed not to transfer any of its Shares or other equity securities in Energizer, or engage in certain hedging transactions from the closing of the GAC acquisition until the day that is twelve months after the GAC closing date and, following such period, subject to certain limitations, not to transfer any such Energizer shares or other equity securities to any person or entity who would thereafter beneficially own more than 4.9% of Energizer’s outstanding shares of equity securities after giving effect to such transaction. Following the 18 month anniversary of the closing of the GAC acquisition, Energizer will have the right to repurchase any or all of the shares held by the Company for a purchase price per share equal to the greater of the volume-weighted average sales price per share for the ten consecutive trading days beginning on the 12^th trading day immediately preceding notice of the repurchase from Energizer and 100% of the volume-weighted average sale price per share of the common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the GAC agreement. The Company’s investment in Energizer common stock is recognized at its fair value in Investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, with any unrealized gains or losses attributable to changes in the market price and dividend income received from Energizer being recognized as Other Non-Operating Income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Segment Information

NOTE 19 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company identifies its segments based upon the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of its reportable segments. As a result of the GBL and GAC divestitures, and changes to the Company’s plan to sell its HPC division, the way management views its business activities and the reportable segments changed. Spectrum had historically recognized GBL and HPC as components to Global Batteries and Appliances (GBA) reportable segment. Effective December 29, 2017, the Company approved a plan to sell its GBA segment and classified it as held for sale and excluded it from segment reporting until November 2018, when the decision was made to change its plan to sell HPC and recognize it as a component of continuing operations. See Note 3 – Divestitures for further details on GBL and GAC divestitures, and the change in plan to sell HPC. HPC has been recognized as a component of continuing operations and as a separate operating and reportable segment.

Spectrum manages its continuing operations in vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) HHI, which consists of Spectrum’s worldwide hardware, security and plumbing business; (ii) PET, which consists of Spectrum’s worldwide pet care business; (iii) H&G, which consists of Spectrum’s home and garden and insect control business and (iv) HPC, which consists of Spectrum’s worldwide small kitchen and personal care appliances businesses. Global strategic initiatives and financial objectives for each reportable segment are determined at the corporate level. Each segment is responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a president or general manager responsible for the sales and marketing initiatives and financial results for product lines within the segment. Net sales relating to the segments for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:


	Three Month Periods ended				Nine Month Periods ended

NOTE 19 - SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)

The Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary operating metric in evaluating the business and making operating decisions. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes:

Stock based and other incentive compensation costs that consist of costs associated with long-term compensation arrangements and other equity based compensation based upon achievement of long-term performance metrics; and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the year ending September 30, 2019, the Company issued certain incentive bridge awards due to changes in the Company’s long-term compensation plans that allow for cash based payment upon employee election which have been included in the adjustment but would not qualify for shared-based compensation. See Note 15 - Share Based Compensation for further discussion;

Transaction related charges consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; (2) post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs incurred by the continuing operations of the Company after completion of the GBL and GAC divestitures to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of TSAs and reverse TSAs with Energizer; (3) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations due to the change in plan to cease marketing and selling of the HPC business. See Note 2 – Basis of Presentation & Significant Accounting Policies for additional details;

Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives across the segments. See Note 5 - Restructuring and Related Charges for further details;

Unrealized gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock, acquired as part of consideration received from the Company’s sale and divestiture of GAC to Energizer. See Note 3 – Divestitures for further discussion;

Foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans that were entered with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for the receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company through the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestitures. The Company has also entered into various hedging arrangements to mitigate the volatility of foreign exchange risk associated with such loans;

Incremental costs associated with a safety recall in PET;

Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable);

Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);

Incremental costs directly associated with the Spectrum Merger during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018;

Non-recurring HRG net operating costs during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018, considered to be redundant or duplicative as a result of the Spectrum Merger and not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company post-merger, including compensation and benefits, directors fees, professional fees, insurance, public company costs, amongst others, and including interest and other non-recurring income that will ultimately be eliminated following the transaction; and

Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) operating margin on H&G sales to GAC discontinued operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively; (2) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at Company facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019; (3) certain fines and penalties for delayed shipments following the completion of a PET distribution center consolidation in EMEA during the nine month period ended June 30, 2019; (4) legal and litigation costs associated with Salus during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019 as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company, but continue to be consolidated by the Company after completion of the Spectrum Merger until the Salus operations can be wholly dissolved and/or deconsolidated; and (5) incremental costs for separation of a key executive during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018.

The weighted average shares and earnings per share data on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on July 13, 2018, associated with the closing of the Spectrum Merger. See Note 4 – Acquisitions for further discussion on Spectrum Merger. Using (i) the 20-trading-day volume-weighted average price per share of Spectrum common stock ending on July 12, 2018, (ii) the number of shares of Spectrum common stock outstanding, the number of shares of Spectrum common stock held by HRG and its subsidiaries and the number of shares of Spectrum common stock outstanding as of July 12, 2018, (iii) $328.2 million of HRG net indebtedness and transaction expenses at closing, and (iv) a $200.0 million upward adjustment contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each HRG stockholder received a reverse stock split of approximately 0.1613 of each share of HRG stock. The following is a recalculation of the weighted average shares adjusted for the impact of the reverse stock split for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018.

HRG weighted average shares	203.3	202.7
HRG share conversion at 1 to 0.1613	32.8	32.7

As part of the Spectrum Merger each share of Spectrum common stock and outstanding was converted into the right to receive one share of newly issued HRG common stock and exchange for HRG common stock. Due to the share exchange with Spectrum common stock shareholders, the total outstanding shares of the Company effectively increased 20.6 million shares in addition to the Company’s outstanding shares post-reverse stock split previously discussed.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions			Practical Expedients and Exemptions The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities which occur after control of the related goods transfers as fulfillment activities instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations. The use of the practical expedient did not impact the accounting for the adoption of Topic 606.The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component, as the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the customer’s payment for the good or service is one year or less.The Company does not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. The estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period is immaterial.The Company generally expenses sales commissions and other contract and fulfillment costs when the amortization period is less than one year. The Company records these costs within selling, general and administrative expenses. For costs amortized over a period longer than one year, such as fixtures which are much more permanent in nature, the Company defers and amortizes over the supportable period based upon historical assumptions and analysis. The costs for permanent displays are incorporated into the pricing of product sold to customer.The Company excludes all sales taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority from the transaction price.
