Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Year End

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Company’s fiscal year ends September 30 and 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. For the year ended September 30, 2021, the fiscal quarters were comprised of the three months ended January 3, 2021, April 4, 2021, July 4, 2021, and September 30, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history, but generally does not require collateral. The Company monitors its customers’ credit and financial condition based on changing economic conditions and will make adjustments to credit policies as required. Provisions for losses on uncollectible trade receivables are determined based on ongoing evaluations of the Company’s receivables, principally on the basis of historical collection experience and evaluations of the risks of nonpayment or return for a given customer. See Note 8 - Receivables for further detail.

Inventories

The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. See Note 9 - Inventory for further detail.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property, plant and equipment held under finance leases are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset; such amortization is included in depreciation expense. See Note 10 - Property, plant and equipment for further detail. The Company uses accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes. Useful lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows:


Asset Type						Range
Buildings and improvements						20 - 40 years
Machinery and equipment						2 - 15 years

Expenditures which substantially increase value or extend useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company records gains and losses on the disposition or retirement of property, plant and equipment based on the net book value and any proceeds received.

Long-lived fixed assets held and used are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Circumstances such as the discontinuation of a product or product line, a sudden or consistent decline in the sales forecast for a product, changes in technology or in the way an asset is being used, a history of operating or cash flow losses or an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, among others, may trigger an impairment review. If such indicators are present, the Company performs undiscounted cash flow analyses to determine if impairment exists. The asset value would be deemed impaired if the undiscounted cash flows generated did not exceed the carrying value of the respective asset group. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Goodwill

Goodwill reflects the excess of acquisition cost over the aggregate fair value assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events or indicators of potential impairment are identified. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing based upon the relative fair value of the asset to each reporting unit. Our reporting units are consistent with our segments. See Note 22 - Segment Information for further discussion.

Goodwill is tested for impairment in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year by either performing a qualitative assessment or a quantitative test for some, or all reporting units. The Company evaluates qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In performing a qualitative assessment, the Company considers events and circumstances, including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, changes in management or key personnel, changes in strategy, changes in customers, changes in market value, composition or carrying amount of a reporting unit’s net assets, and considering any changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not the carrying value is greater than the fair value of a reporting unit after assessing the totality of facts and circumstances, a quantitative assessment is performed to determine the reporting unit fair value and measure the impairment. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not the fair value is greater than the carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is not required.

In estimating the fair value of our reporting units for a quantitative impairment assessment, we use a discounted cash flow methodology, which requires us to estimate future revenues, expenses, and capital expenditures and make assumptions about our weighted average cost of capital and perpetuity growth rate, among other variables. We test the aggregate estimated fair value of our reporting units by comparison to our total market capitalization, including both equity and debt capital. The fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to that excess; however the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. See Note 11 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further detail.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost or at estimated fair value if acquired in a business combination. Customer lists, proprietary technology and certain trade name intangibles are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives. The range and weighted average useful lives for definite-lived intangibles assets are as follows:

Asset Type

Range

Weighted Average

Customer relationships

5 - 20 years

18.9 years

Technology assets

5 - 18 years

13.6 years

Tradenames

5 - 13 years

11.6 years

Definite-lived intangible assets held and used are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If indicators of potential impairment are identified, the Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. The asset value would be deemed impaired if the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset did not exceed the carrying value of the respective asset group. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value.

Certain trade name intangible assets have an indefinite life and are not amortized, but instead are assessed for impairment at least annually, in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year by either performing a qualitative assessment or a quantitative test for some or all indefinite lived intangible assets. The Company evaluates qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets is less than its carrying amount. In performing a qualitative assessment, the Company considers events and circumstances, including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, changes in strategy and overall financial performance. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not the carrying value is greater than the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset, a quantitative assessment is performed to determine the fair value and measure the impairment. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not the fair value is greater than the carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is not required.

The quantitative impairment analysis of indefinite lived intangible assets compares the estimated fair value of the identified trade names to their carrying value to determine if impairment exists. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess. The fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is determined using an income approach, the relief-from-royalty methodology, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future revenues, royalty rates, and the discount rate, among others. See Note 11 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further detail.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

An asset, group of assets, or qualifying business are considered held for sale when they meet all the applicable criteria; including: (i) having the authority to sell, (ii) being available to sell in their present condition, (iii) having an active program to locate buyers, (iv) being actively marketed at current fair value, and (v) considered probable of selling within one year. Assessment for held for sale are performed at least quarterly or when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that a change in classification may be necessary.

Assets and liabilities of a qualifying business are excluded from the net assets of continuing operations, separated in a disposal group and classified as held for sale in the period in which the held for sale criteria was met. Corporate debt is not included as a component of the disposal group, regardless of repayment provisions, and only debt directly attributable to the divested operations may be included as held for sale. Assets and liabilities held for sale are recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less expected cost to sell and any unrecognized other comprehensive loss. Assets held for sale do not experience any subsequent depreciation or amortization after being classified as held for sale. Assets held for sale are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly, and if the carrying amount of the disposal group exceeds the estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized. If a business is classified as held for sale after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, the business continues to be classified as held and used in those financial statements when issued or when available to be issued.

The Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the business is sold and meets the criteria for being classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale and related to discontinued operations are presented as held for sale for all current and prior periods presented within the statement of a financial position. The results of discontinued operations are reported in Income From Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income for the current and prior periods commencing in the period in which the business meets the held for sale criteria, and includes any gain or loss recognized on closing, or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell while being held for sale. Loss realized upon change of classification to held for sale is recognized as a loss to continuing operations. Income from discontinued operations includes only direct costs attributable to the divested business and excludes any indirect cost allocation associated with any shared or corporate led functions unless otherwise dedicated to the divested business. Transactions between the businesses held for sale and businesses held for use that are expected to continue to exist after the disposal are not eliminated to appropriately reflect the continuing operations and balances held for sale. Interest costs from corporate debt, excluding premium payments or loss on extinguishment of debt, may be included as a component of income from discontinued operations specifically attributable to interest from corporate debt that is obligated to be repaid following the completion of a divestiture; plus the allocation of interest cost from corporate debt not directly attributable to or related to other operations based on the ratio of net assets of the disposal group held for sale to the consolidated net assets plus consolidated debt, excluding debt assumed in transaction, required to be repaid, or directly attributable to other operations of the Company. Amounts within accumulated other comprehensive income directly associated with a divested business are not realized as a component of Income from Discontinued Operations until completion of the sale or disposition. See Note 3 - Divestitures for further detail.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the related debt agreements. Debt issuance costs for the Company were $35.6 million and $36.5 million as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Debt issuance costs are included as a reduction to Long Term Debt, Net of Current Portion in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Amortization of debt issuance costs is recognized as a component of Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 12 - Debt for further detail.

Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its foreign currency exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative assets and liabilities are reported at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. When hedge accounting is elected at inception, the Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. Depending on the nature of derivatives designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets or liability through earnings, or recognized in equity through other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized. Derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows and are designated as cash flow hedges, and the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income (“AOCI”) in Stockholders’ Equity. Those amounts are subsequently reclassified to earnings in the same line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income as impacted by the hedge item when the hedged item affects earnings. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions. For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the change in the fair value is recognized in earnings. See Note 14 - Derivatives for further detail.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock purchases are stated at average cost and presented as a separate reduction of equity.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest recognized in the consolidated equity of the Company is the minority interest ownership in equity of a consolidated subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent company, SBH; and recognized separate from shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Income from a consolidated subsidiary with a minority interest ownership is allocated to the minority interest and considered attributable to the noncontrolling interest in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Business Combinations and Acquisition Accounting

The Company accounts for acquisitions by applying the acquisition method of accounting when the transaction or event is considered a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. A defined business is generally an acquired group of assets with inputs and processes that make it capable of generating a return or economic benefit for the acquirer. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at their fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. See Note 4 – Acquisitions for further detail.

Revenue Recognition

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. The Company 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 unless we retain title and risk of loss upon shipment and we arrange and paid for freight such that we retain physical possession and control during delivery.

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. Revenue derived from the right-to-access licenses is recognized using the over time revenue recognition method, applying the ‘as-invoiced’ practical expedient method at the amount we are able to bill using a time-elapsed measure of progress, taking into consideration any minimum guarantee provisions under the contract, as it appropriately depicts its performance of providing access to the Company’s brands, trade names, logos, etc.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists primarily of installation or maintenance services that are provided to certain customers in the GPC 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.

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 may also enter 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 defers the cost of 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. Deferred payments are recognized as a contract asset and are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as Deferred Charges and Other Assets with related amortization treated as a reduction in Net Sales.

Product Returns

In the normal course of business, the Company 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 be received. For the anticipated value of the returns, the Company will recognize a return liability in Other Current Liabilities and a separate return asset included in the Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, when applicable. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized an expected returns liability of $11.8 million and $12.8 million, respectively, most of which the Company does not expect or anticipate a return asset. Product returns do not include provisions for warranties provided to end-consumers of the Company's products, which are recognized as a component of the Company's cost of goods sold. See Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion on product warranty.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions:

•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.

See Note 6 – Revenue Recognition for further detail.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs include costs incurred with third-party carriers to transport products to customers and salaries and overhead costs related to activities to prepare the Company’s products for shipment at the Company’s distribution facilities. Shipping and handling costs were $216.3 million, $172.8 million and $162.9 million during the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 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. Shipping and handling costs are included in Selling Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs include agency fees and other costs to create advertisements, as well as costs paid to third parties to print or broadcast the Company’s advertisements and are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $54.0 million, $40.7 million and $28.1 million during the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Advertising costs are included in Selling Expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense in the period they are incurred.

Environmental Expenditures

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. The Company determines its liability for environmental matters on a site-by-site basis and records a liability at the time when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and such liability can be reasonably estimated. The estimated liability is not reduced for possible recoveries from insurance carriers. Estimated environmental remediation expenditures are included in the determination of the net realizable value recorded for assets held for sale. See Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies for further detail.

Restructuring and Related Charges

Restructuring charges include, but are not limited to, the costs of one-time termination benefits such as severance costs and retention bonuses, and contract termination costs consisting primarily of lease termination costs. Related charges, as defined by the Company, include, but are not limited to, other costs directly associated with exit and relocation activities, including impairment of property and other assets, departmental costs of full-time incremental employees, and any other items related to the exit or relocation activities. Costs for such activities are estimated by management after evaluating detailed analyses of the costs to be incurred.

Liabilities from restructuring and related charges are recorded for estimated costs of facility closures, significant organizational adjustments and measures undertaken by management to exit certain activities. Costs for such activities are estimated by management after evaluating detailed analyses of the costs to be incurred. Such liabilities or asset reductions could include amounts for items such as severance costs and related benefits, lease termination payments and any other items directly related to the exit activities. Impairment of property and equipment and other current or long-term assets as a result of restructuring related initiatives are recognized as a reduction of the appropriate asset.

Restructuring and related charges associated with manufacturing and related initiatives are recorded in Cost of Goods Sold. Restructuring and related charges reflected in Cost of Goods Sold include, but are not limited to, termination and related costs associated with manufacturing employees, asset impairments relating to manufacturing initiatives and other costs directly related to the manufacturing component of a restructuring initiative. Restructuring and related charges associated with administrative functions are recorded in operating expenses, such as initiatives impacting sales, marketing, distribution or other non-manufacturing related functions. Restructuring and related charges reflected in operating expenses include, but are not limited to, termination and related costs, any asset impairments relating to the administrative functions and other costs directly related to the administrative components of the restructuring initiatives implemented. See Note 5 - Restructuring and Related Charges for further detail.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception, considering whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the commencement date of the lease. Operating leases are included in Operating Lease Assets, Other Current Liabilities and Long-Term Operating Lease Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Finance leases are included in Property, Plant and Equipment, Current Portion of Long-Term Debt, and Long-Term Debt, Net of Current Portion on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Right of use ("ROU") lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ROU lease liabilities are classified between current and long-term liabilities based on their payment terms. The ROU operating lease asset includes prepaid rent and reflects the unamortized balance of lease incentives. Our leases may include renewal options, and we include the renewal option in the lease term if we conclude that it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate, such as the Company’s proportionate share of actual costs for utilities, common area maintenance, insurance, and property taxes, are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability, unless subject to fixed minimum requirements and are recognized as variable lease cost when the obligation for that payment is incurred.

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide the lease implicit rates, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rates as the discount rate, adjusted as applicable, based on the information available at the lease commencement dates to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow, on a collateralized basis and in a similar economic environment, over the term of a lease. The Company may use the lease implicit rate, if readily determinable, as the discount rate to determine the present value of lease payments. See Note 13 – Leases for additional information.

We review the impairment of our ROU lease assets consistent with the approach applied for our other long-lived assets. ROU lease assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Circumstances such as the discontinuation of a product or product line, a sudden or consistent decline in the sales forecast for a product, changes in technology or in the way an asset is being used, early termination or exit of a lease agreement, a history of operating or cash flow losses or an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, among others, may trigger an impairment review. If such indicators are present, the Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. The asset value would be deemed impaired if the undiscounted cash flows generated did not exceed the carrying value of the respective asset group. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value.

Transaction related charges

Transaction related charges consist of costs towards (1) a qualifying strategic transaction or business development opportunity, including an acquisition or divestiture, whether or not consummated, associated with the purchase or sale of net assets or equity interest of a business such as a business combination, equity investment, joint venture or purchase or sale of non-controlling interest; (2) subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquisition including realized costs for the integration of acquired operations into the Company’s shared service platforms, termination of redundant or duplicative positions and locations, operations and/or products, employee transition costs, professional fees, and other post business combination expenses; and (3) divestiture support and separation costs consisting of incremental costs incurred to facilitate separation of a divested business or operation, including the development of shared service operations impacted by a separation, including impacts to shared platforms and personnel impacted by the transaction. Qualifying cost types include, but are not limited to, banking, advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, or other professional fees; and including impairment loss on existing assets considered duplicative or redundant and directly attributable to the respective transactions. See Note 3 - Divestitures and Note 4 – Acquisitions for further discussion.

The following table summarizes transaction related charges incurred by the Company during the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019:


(in millions)	2021		2020		2019
HHI divestiture and separation	$	9.6	$	—	$	—

Omega Sea acquisition and integration	0.2		1.6		—
Other	16.2		5.8		11.4
Total transaction-related charges	$	56.3	$	23.1	$	20.9

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in income tax expense in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Accrued interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in Income Tax Expense. See Note 16 - Income Taxes for further detail.

Foreign Currency Translation

Local currencies are considered the functional currencies for most of the Company’s operations outside the United States. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange existing at year-end, with revenues, expenses and cash flows translated at the average of the monthly exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translation of the financial statements are recorded as a component of equity in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), including the effects of exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses for transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are reported in Other Non-Operating Expense, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the period they occur. Exchange losses on foreign currency transactions were $1.5 million, $7.1 million, and $40.5 million for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which was further updated and clarified by the FASB through the issuance of additional related ASUs. The ASU introduces a forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating expected credit losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis effective October 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 8 - Receivables and Concentration of Credit Risk for further discussion on the Company's receivables and allowance for uncollectible receivables.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard provides guidance on accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after October 1, 2020, the date of adoption. Before the adoption of the standard, the implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements were expensed as incurred. Effective October 1, 2020, implementation costs attributable to cloud computer arrangements are recognized as Deferred Charges and Other on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and subsequently amortized over the respective term of the cloud computing arrangement. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. ASU 2018-14 requires entities to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates used, reasons for significant gains and losses affecting benefit obligations, and an explanation of any other significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets. The amendment also removed certain previously required disclosures. The Company adopted this guidance as of September 30, 2021. The provisions of the new standard have been recognized in Note 15 - Employee Benefit Plans for all periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which adds implementation guidance to clarify certain optional expedients in Topic 848. The ASUs can be adopted no later than December 31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adoption of the new guidance to its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes". The new standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The new standard also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adoption of the new guidance to its consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

DIVESTITURES

The following table summarizes the components of Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019:


(in millions)	2021		2020		2019
Income from discontinued operations before income taxes - HHI	$	288.2	$	227.8	$	220.6
(Loss) income from discontinued operations before income taxes - GBL	(7.2)		4.2		997.6
Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes - GAC	(0.1)		(0.1)		(115.7)
Interest on corporate debt allocated to discontinued operations	44.5		47.3		83.0
Income from discontinued operations before income taxes	236.4		184.6		1,019.5
Income tax expense from discontinued operations	62.1		33.7		221.5
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	174.3		150.9		798.0
(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax attributable to noncontrolling interest	(0.2)		0.4		0.5
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax attributable to controlling interest	$	174.5	$	150.5	$	797.5

Interest from corporate debt allocated to discontinued operations includes interest on Term Loans required to be paid down using proceeds received on disposal on sale of a business, and interest expense from corporate debt not directly attributable to or related to other operations based on the ratio of net assets of the disposal group held for sale to the consolidated net assets plus consolidated debt, excluding debt assumed in transaction, required to be repaid, or directly attributable to other operations of the Company. Corporate debt, including Term Loans required to be paid down, are not classified as held for sale as they are not directly attributable to the identified disposal groups.

For the year ended September 30, 2019, SBH recognized interest expense associated with corporate debt directly held by the SBH parent company and not included as part of the consolidated financial statements of SB/RH. As a result, there was only $75.2 million of interest on corporate debt from SB/RH allocated to discontinued operations, excluding allocated interest attributable to debt held directly by the SBH parent company, and further impacting the intraperiod income tax expense from discontinued operations to $223.4 million as part of the SB/RH Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended September 30, 2019 . The Company paid down the outstanding debt held by SBH parent company following the divestitures of GBL and GAC during the year ended September 30, 2019 and for the years ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, all corporate debt and applicable interest allocated to discontinued operations was attributable to debt held by SBI, a wholly owned subsidiary of both SBH and SB/RH.

HHI

On September 8, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement (the "ASPA") with ASSA ABLOY AB ("ASSA") to sell its HHI segment for cash proceeds of $4.3 billion, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Company's assets and liabilities associated with the HHI disposal group has been classified as held for sale and the respective operations have been classified as discontinued operations and reported separately for all periods presented.

The ASPA provides that ASSA will purchase the equity of certain subsidiaries of the Company, and acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of other subsidiaries used or held for the purpose of the HHI business. The Company and ASSA have made customary representations and warranties and have agreed to customary covenants relating to the acquisition. Among other things, prior to the consummation of the acquisition, the Company will be subject to certain business conduct restrictions with respect to its operation of the HHI business.

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 $989.8 million, during the year ended September 30, 2019, including the 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 of $200 million 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 were recognized as a component of discontinued operations.

The GBL acquisition agreement provided for a purchase price adjustment that was 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. The Company settled the outstanding balance with Energizer for $197 million and recognized an incremental adjustment to gain on sale of $3.0 million as a component of income from discontinued operations, net of tax, during the year ended September 30, 2020.

The Company and Energizer agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the GBL acquisition agreement and for certain other matters. The Company agreed to indemnify Energizer for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by the Company, and Energizer agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities assumed by Energizer, in each case as described in the acquisition agreement. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $35.0 million and $50.2 million, respectively, related to indemnifications in accordance with the acquisition agreement, including $17.3 million and $33.0 million, respectively, within Other Current Liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position primarily attributable to current income tax indemnifications and $17.7 million and $17.2 million, respectively, within Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position primarily attributable to income tax indemnifications associated with previously recognized uncertain tax benefits. During the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized incremental pre-tax loss on sale for changes to tax and legal indemnifications and other agreed-upon funding under the GBL acquisition agreement with Energizer. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized a $10.5 million tax benefit to discontinued operations from the return to provision adjustments related to the divestitures of GBL, primarily from changes to US GILTI on the non-US portions of the sold business.

The Company 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.

The following table summarizes the components of income from discontinued operations before income taxes associated with the GBL operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended September 30, 2019 with the close of the GBL divestiture on January 2, 2019.

GAC

On January 28, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its GAC business pursuant to the GAC acquisition agreement with Energizer for $938.7 million in cash proceeds and $242.1 million in stock consideration of common stock of Energizer, resulting in a loss on sale of business of $111.0 million during the year ended September 30, 2019, including the estimated settlement of customary purchase price adjustments for working capital and assumed indebtedness, and recognition of tax and legal indemnifications in accordance with the GAC acquisition agreement. The results of operations and loss on the disposal of the GAC business were recognized as a component of discontinued operations.

The Company and Energizer agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the GAC acquisition agreement and for certain other matters. The Company agreed to indemnify Energizer for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by the Company, and Energizer agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities assumed by Energizer, in each case as described in the acquisition agreement. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to indemnifications in accordance with the acquisition agreement within Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position primarily attributable to income tax indemnifications associated with previously recognized uncertain tax benefits.

The TSA and reverse TSA are recognized as a component of continuing operations for periods following the completion of the GAC sale. The supply agreement with the Company’s H&G business was recognized as a component of net sales and continuing operations. The supply agreement had a contracted term of 24 months, and expired in January 2021. Sales from the Company’s H&G segment to GAC discontinued operations prior to the divestiture have been recognized as a component of net sales and continuing operations for all comparable periods. See Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for additional discussion.

The following table summarizes the components of income from discontinued operations before income taxes associated with the GAC business in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended 2019, with the close of the GAC divestiture on January 28, 2019:

The divestiture does not constitute a strategic shift for the Company and therefore is not considered discontinued operations. The divestiture of the Coevorden Operations was defined as a disposal of a business and a component of the GPC segment and reporting unit, resulting in the allocation of $10.6 million of GPC goodwill to the disposal group based upon a relative fair-value allocation. The Company realized a loss on assets held for sale of $26.8 million during the year ended September 30, 2020.

The Company and UPP entered into related agreements ancillary to the acquisition that became effective upon the consummation of the acquisition, including a TSA.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

ACQUISITIONS

Rejuvenate Acquisition

On May 28, 2021, the Company acquired all ownership interests in For Life Products, LLC ("FLP") for a purchase price of $301.5 million. FLP is a leading manufacturer of household cleaning, maintenance, and restoration products sold under the Rejuvenate® brand. The net assets and operating results of FLP, since the acquisition date of May 28, 2021, are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the H&G reporting segment for the year ended September 30, 2021.

The Company has recorded an allocation of the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the May 28, 2021 acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of $147.0 million was recorded as goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill includes value associated with profits earned from market expansion capabilities, synergies from integration and streamlining operational activities, the going concern of the business and the value of the assembled workforce.

The calculation of purchase price and purchase price allocation is as follows:


(in millions)	Amount
Cash consideration	$	301.5

The Company performed a valuation of the acquired inventories, tradenames, technology, and customer relationships. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and therefore, represent Level 3 measurements. The following is a summary of significant inputs to the valuation:

Inventory – Acquired inventory consists of branded finished goods that were valued based on the comparative sales method, which estimates the expected sales price of the finished goods inventory, reduced for all costs expected to be incurred in its completion or disposition and a profit on those costs.

Tradename – The Company valued the tradename, Rejuvenate®, using an income approach, the relief-from-royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the tradename was not owned. A royalty rate of 12% for valuation of Rejuvenate® was selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions, related trademarks and tradenames, other similar trademark licensing, and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the tradename. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flow was 10.5% based on the a weighted-average cost of capital for the overall business. The resulting discounted cash flows were then tax-effected at the applicable statutory rate.

Customer relationships – The Company valued customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method under a market participant distributor method of the income approach. In determining the fair value of the customer relationships, the multi-period excess earnings approach values the intangible asset at the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the customer relationship after deducting contributory asset charges. Only expected sales from current customers were used, which are estimated using average annual expected growth rate of 4%. The Company assumed a customer attrition rate of 5%, which is supported by historical attrition rates. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flow was 10.5% and income taxes were estimated at the applicable statutory rate.

Technology – The Company valued technology using an income approach, the relief-from-royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the technology was not owned. A royalty rate of 3% was selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions, related licensing agreements and the importance of the technology and profit levels, among other considerations. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flow was 10.5% and income taxes were estimated at the applicable statutory rate.

Pro forma results have not been presented as the Rejuvenate acquisition is not considered individually significant to the consolidated results of the Company.

Armitage Acquisition

On October 26, 2020, the Company acquired all of the stock of Armitage Pet Care Ltd ("Armitage") for approximately $187.7 million. Armitage is a premium pet treats and toys business headquartered in Nottingham, United Kingdom, including a portfolio of brands that include Armitage's dog treats brand, Good Boy®, cat treats brand, Meowee!® and Wildbird®, bird feed products, among others, that are predominantly sold within the United Kingdom. The net assets and operating results of Armitage, since the acquisition date of October 26, 2020, are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the GPC reporting segment for the year ended September 30, 2021.

The Company has recorded an allocation of the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the October 26, 2020 acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of $90.7 million was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for foreign tax purposes. Goodwill includes value associated with profits earned from market and expansion capabilities, synergies from integration and streamlining operational activities, the going concern of the business and the value of the assembled workforce.

The calculation of purchase price and purchase price allocation is as follows:

The Company performed a valuation of the acquired inventories, tradenames, and customer relationships. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and therefore, represent Level 3 measurements. The following is a summary of significant inputs to the valuation:

Inventory - Acquired inventory consists of branded finished goods that were valued based on the comparative sales method, which estimates the expected sales price of the finished goods inventory, reduced for all costs expected to be incurred in its completion or disposition and a profit on those costs.

Tradenames - The Company valued the tradenames, the Good Boy® brand and the Wildbird® and Other brand portfolio, using an income approach, the relief-from-royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the tradenames were not owned. Royalty rates of 8% for valuation of Good Boy® and 3% for Wildbird® and Other were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions, related trademarks and tradenames, other similar trademark licensing, and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the tradenames. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flow was 11% based on the a weighted-average cost of capital for the overall business. The resulting discounted cash flows were then tax-effected at the applicable statutory rate.

Customer relationships - The Company valued customer relationships using an income and cost approach, the avoided cost and lost profits method. The underlying premise of the method is that the economic value of the asset can be estimated based on consideration of the total costs that would be avoided by having this asset in place. These costs primarily consider the costs that would be incurred to re-create the customer relationships in terms of employee salaries and the revenues and associated profits forgone due to the absence of the relationships for a period of time.

Pro forma results have not been presented as the Armitage acquisition is not considered individually significant to the consolidated results of the Company.

Omega Sea Acquisition

On March 10, 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Omega Sea, LLC (“Omega”), a manufacturer and marketer of premium fish foods and consumable goods for the home and commercial aquarium markets, primarily consisting of the Omega brand, for a purchase price of approximately $16.9 million. The results of Omega’s operations since March 10, 2020 are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the GPC reporting segment for the year ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

The Company has recorded an allocation of the purchase price to the Company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of March 10, 2020, the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill, resulting in the recognition of $4.4 million for the indefinite lived intangible asset Omega trade name and the allocation of goodwill of $8.6 million, allocated to the GPC segment and deductible for tax purposes.

Pro forma results have not been presented as the Omega acquisition is not considered individually significant to the consolidated results of the Company.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

Global Productivity Improvement Program – During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company initiated a company-wide, multi-year program, 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 completion of the Company’s divestitures in GBL and GAC during the year ended September 30, 2019, the project focus includes the transitioning of the Company’s continuing operations in a post-divestiture environment and separation with Energizer TSAs and reverse TSAs. Refer to Note 3 – Divestitures and Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for further discussion. 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 $152.2 million as of September 30, 2021, with approximately $2.5 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project costs are anticipated to be incurred through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

GPC Edwardsville 3PL Transition - During the year ended September 30, 2021, the GPC segment entered into an initiative to transition its third party logistics (3PL) service provide at its Edwardsville, IL distribution center to optimize its operations and improve fill rates to meet customer requirements and handle projected growth. Costs incurred to facilitate the transition service providers include one-time implementation and start-up costs with the new service provider, including the integration of the provider systems and technology, incremental compensation and incentive-based compensation to maintain performance during the transition period, duplicative and redundant costs between providers, and incremental costs for various disruptions in the operations during the transition period, including supplemental transportation and storage costs as the new 3PL operations are fully integrated and transitioned. Total cumulative costs incurred associated with the project were $11.5 million as of September 30, 2021, with approximately $12.2 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project costs are anticipated to be incurred through the first half of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

SAP S4 ERP Transformation - During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company entered into an initiative to transform its enterprise-wide operating system to SAP S4. The initiative is a multi-year project that will include various project costs, including software configuration and implementation costs that would be recognized as a capital expenditure or deferred cost in accordance with applicable accounting policies. Certain restructuring related costs associated with the initiative include project development and management costs, and professional services with business partners engaged towards planning, design and business process review that would not qualify as software implementation costs. The Company is currently in the planning and design stage of the project. Total cumulative costs incurred associated with the project were $4.3 million as of September 30, 2021 with approximately $13.0 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project is a multi-year implementation with various phases that will be realized throughout the project timeline, depending upon business unit and/or jurisdiction, and is anticipated to be incurred through September 30, 2024.

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).

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that is based upon the observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed assumptions about hypothetical transactions in the absence of market data. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that attempt to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

•Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

The carrying values and estimated fair values for financial instruments as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:


	September 30, 2021										September 30, 2020
(in millions)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Carrying Amount
Investments	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	66.9	$	—	$	—	$	66.9	$	66.9
Derivative Assets	—		6.8		—		6.8		6.8		—		0.4		—		0.4		0.4
Derivative Liabilities	—		2.5		—		2.5		2.5		—		13.5		—		13.5		13.5
Debt	—		2,628.2		—		2,628.2		2,506.3		—		2,538.7		—		2,538.7		2,419.5

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. Unrealized income or loss from changes in fair value, realized income or loss from sale of equity investments, plus dividend income from equity investments, are recognized as components of Other Non-Operating (Income) Expense, Net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 1.7 million shares of Energizer common stock for cash proceeds of $73.1 million. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold 3.6 million shares of Energizer common stock for cash proceeds of $147.1 million. The Company sold its remaining investment in Energizer common stock in January 2021 and as of September 30, 2021, the company holds no shares of Energizer common stock.

The following is a summary of income recognized from equity investments included in Other Non-Operating (Income) Expense, Net on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019:


(in millions)	2021		2020		2019
Unrealized loss on equity investments held	$	—	$	(7.5)	$	(12.1)
Realized gain (loss) on equity investments sold	6.9		(9.3)		—
Gain (loss) on equity investments	6.9		(16.8)		(12.1)
Dividend income from equity investments	0.2		5.0		4.8
Gain (loss) from equity investments	$	7.1	$	(11.8)	$	(7.3)

The Company’s derivative instruments are valued on a recurring basis using internal models, which are based on market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities, which are generally based on quoted or observed market prices (Level 2). The fair value of certain derivative financial instruments is estimated using pricing models based on contracts with similar terms and risks. Modeling techniques assume market correlation and volatility, such as using prices of one delivery point to calculate the price of the contract’s different delivery point. In addition, by applying a credit reserve which is calculated based on credit default swaps or published default probabilities for the actual and potential asset value, the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instrument assets reflects the risk that the counterparties to these contracts may default on the obligations. Likewise, by assessing the requirements of a reserve for non-performance which is calculated based on the probability of default by the Company, the Company adjusts its derivative contract liabilities to reflect the price at which a potential market participant would be willing to assume the Company’s liabilities. The Company has not changed the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the year. See Note 14 – Derivatives for additional detail.

The fair value measurements of the Company’s debt represent non-active market exchange-traded securities which are valued at quoted input prices that are directly observable or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data (Level 2). See Note 12 – Debt for additional detail.

The carrying values of 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). See Note 4 – Acquisitions for additional detail.

The carrying values 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.

The Company has a broad range of customers including many large retail outlet chains, some of which exceed 10% of consolidated Net Trade Receivables. There was one customer that exceeds 10% of the Company's consolidated Net Trade Receivables representing 14.7% and two customers representing 33.2% of the Company’s Trade Receivables as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We have entered into various factoring agreements and early pay programs with our customers to sell our trade receivables under non-recourse agreements in exchange for cash proceeds. A loss on sale is recognized for any discount and factoring fees associated with the transfer. We utilize factoring arrangements as an integral part of our financing for working capital. These transactions are treated as a sale and are accounted for as a reduction in trade receivables because the agreements transfer effective control over and risk related to the receivables to buyers. In some instances, we may continue to service the transferred receivable after the factoring has occurred, but in most cases we do not service any factored accounts. Any servicing of the trade receivable does not constitute significant continuing involvement or preclude the recognition of a sale. We do not carry any material servicing assets or liabilities. Cash proceeds from these arrangements are reflected as operating activities. The aggregate gross amount factored under these facilities was $1,328.7 million, $1,206.5 million and $1,222.3 million for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The cost of factoring such trade receivables was $3.5 million, $4.8 million, and $7.4 million for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income as General and Administrative Expense.

On June 30, 2020, SBI entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement"), dated June 30, 2020, which refinances the previously existing credit facility, and includes certain modified terms from the previously existing revolving credit facility. The maturity date was extended to June 30, 2025, and the facility was reduced from $890.0 million to $600.0 million (with a U.S. dollar tranche and a multicurrency tranche). The interest rate margins applicable to the facility were changed and a LIBOR floor of 0.75% was installed. As of September 30, 2021, the Revolver Facility is subject to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum. The LIBOR borrowings are subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor. Our Revolver Facility allows for the LIBOR rate to be phased out and replaced with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and therefore we do not anticipate a material impact by the expected upcoming LIBOR transition. The Credit Agreement was otherwise provided on the same terms and conditions as the previously existing Revolver Facility. The Company incurred $3.5 million in connection with the Credit Agreement, which have been capitalized as debt issuance costs and amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement, solely with respect to the Revolver Facility, contains a financial covenant test on the last day of each fiscal quarter on the maximum total leverage ratio. This is calculated as the ratio of (i) the principal amount of third-party debt for borrowed money (including unreimbursed letter of credit drawings), capital leases and purchase money debt, at period-end, less cash and cash equivalents, to (ii) adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. The maximum total leverage ratio should be no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to a guarantee agreement, SB/RH and the material wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of SBI have guaranteed SBI’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and related loan documents. Pursuant to a security agreement, SBI and such subsidiary guarantors have pledged substantially all of their respective assets to secure such obligations and, in addition, SB/RH has pledged the capital stock of SBI to secure such obligations. The Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default including payment defaults and cross-defaults to other material indebtedness.

As a result of borrowings and payments under the Revolver Facility, at September 30, 2021, the Company had borrowing availability of $575.4 million, net outstanding letters of credit of $24.6 million.

Term Loan Facility

On March 3, 2021, SBI entered into the first amendment (the "Amended Credit Agreement") to the Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement includes certain modified terms from the existing Credit Agreement to provide for a new term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan Facility is in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million and will mature on March 3, 2028. The Term Loan Facility is subject to a rate per annum equal to either (1) the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), subject to a 0.50% floor, adjusted for statutory reserves, plus a margin of 2.00% per annum or (2) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus a margin of 1.00% per annum. The Term Loan Facility allows for the LIBO rate to be phased out and replaced with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and therefore we do not anticipate a material impact to the expected upcoming LIBOR transition. The Term Loan Facility was issued net of a $1.0 million discount and the Company incurred $5.1 million of debt issuance costs, which is being amortized with a corresponding charge to interest expense over the remaining life of the loan.

Pursuant to a guarantee agreement, SB/RH and the direct and indirect wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries of SBI have guaranteed SBI’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement and related loan documents. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, SBI and such subsidiary guarantors have pledged substantially all of their respective assets to secure such obligations and, in addition, SB/RH has pledged the capital stock of SBI to secure such obligations.

Subject to certain mandatory prepayment events, the Term Loan Facility is subject to repayment according to scheduled amortizations, with the final payment of amount outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest, due at maturity. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on SBI and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends or make certain other distributions, and merge or consolidate or sell assets, in each case subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

The Company has leases primarily pertaining to manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, office space, warehouses, automobiles, machinery, computers, and office equipment that expire at various times through June 2035. We have identified embedded operating leases within certain third-party logistic agreements for warehouses and information technology services arrangements and recognized right of use assets identified in the arrangements as part of Operating Lease Assets on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. We elected to exclude certain supply chain contracts that contain embedded leases for manufacturing facilities or dedicated manufacturing lines from our ROU asset and liability calculation based on the insignificant impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVES

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its foreign currency exchange rate, raw material price and interest rate exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

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 Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen, Pound Sterling or U.S. Dollars. 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 Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through March 31, 2023. The derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $3.7 million, net of tax. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $279.9 million and $231.2 million, respectively.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the effective portion of the derivative is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The following table summarizes the impact of the effective and ineffective portions of designated hedges and the gain (loss) recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019:


	Gain (Loss) in OCI						Reclassified to Continuing Operations

Total	$	(1.9)	$	(7.1)	$	14.3		$	(9.2)	$	4.6	$	10.4

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, among others, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen, Mexican Pesos, Philippine Pesos, Polish Zlotys, Pounds Sterling, Taiwanese Dollars or U.S. Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying 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 September 30, 2021, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through July 20, 2022. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $198.4 million and $752.0 million, respectively, of notional value for such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.

The following table summarizes the gain (loss) associated with derivative contracts not designated as hedges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019.


(in millions)	Line Item	2021		2020		2019
Foreign exchange contracts	Other non-operating (income) expense	$	(3.2)	$	(10.8)	$	45.5

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are as follows:


(in millions)	Line Item	2021		2020
Derivative Assets


Foreign exchange contracts - designated as hedge	Other receivables	$	5.2	$	—
Foreign exchange contracts - designated as hedge	Deferred charges and other	0.9		—

Total Derivative Liabilities		$	2.5	$	13.5

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 for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

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 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 September 30, 2021, and 2020, there was no cash collateral outstanding. In addition, as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions.

Net Investment Hedge

SBI has €425.0 million aggregate principle amount of 4.00% Notes designated as a non-derivative economic hedge, or net investment hedge, of the translation of the Company’s net investments in Euro denominated subsidiaries at the time of issuance. The hedge effectiveness is measured on the beginning balance of the net investment and re-designated every three months. Any gains and losses attributable to the translation of the Euro denominated debt designated as net investment hedge are recognized as a component of foreign currency translation within AOCI, and gains and losses attributable to the translation of the undesignated portion are recognized as foreign currency translation gains or losses within Other Non-Operating Expense (Income). As of September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 the full principal amount was designated as a net investment hedge and considered fully effective. The following summarizes the gain (loss) from the net investment hedge recognized in Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, pre-tax:


Gain (Loss) in OCI (in millions)	2021		2020		2019
Net investment hedge	$	6.2	$	(33.0)	$	29.8

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. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $1.2 million in earnings related to the translation of the undesignated portion of debt obligation. No pre-tax gain (loss) related to the translation of the undesignated portion of debt obligation was recognized in earnings during the year ended September 30, 2021.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company has various defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees. Plans generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The Company funds its pension plans in accordance with the requirements of the defined benefit pension plans and, where applicable, in amounts sufficient to satisfy the minimum funding requirements of applicable laws.

Rate of compensation increase	N/A		N/A		N/A		2.25%		2.25%		2.25 - 2.50%

The discount rate is used to calculate the projected benefit obligation. The discount rate used is based on the rate of return on government bonds as well as current market conditions of the respective countries where the plans are established. The expected return on plan assets is based on the Company’s expectation of the long-term average rate of return of the capital market in which the plans invest. The expected return reflects the target asset allocations and considers the historical returns earned for each asset category. 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 Company established formal investment policies for the assets associated with these plans. Policy objectives include maximizing long-term return at acceptable risk levels, diversifying among asset classes, if appropriate, and among investment managers, as well as establishing relevant risk parameters within each asset class. Specific asset class targets are based on the results of periodic asset/liability studies. The investment policies permit variances from the targets within certain parameters. The plan assets currently do not include holdings of the Company’s common stock.

Below is a summary allocation of defined benefit plan assets as of September 30, 2021 and 2020:


	U.S. Plans				Non U.S. Plans
Asset Type	2021		2020		2021		2020

Other	—	%	3	%	84	%	79	%
Total	100	%	100	%	100	%	100	%

The fair value of defined benefit plan assets by asset category as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:


	September 30, 2021								September 30, 2020
(in millions)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Subsequent to the Armitage acquisition and in accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company purchased a group annuity contract using plan assets and escrow funds withheld as part of the acquisition to cover the projected benefit obligation assumed in the purchase. The transaction represents an annuity buy-in, in accordance with U.K. pension regulations, where the assets of the plan were invested in a bulk-purchase annuity policy with an insurance company, under which the Company retains both the fair value of the annuity contract and the pension benefit obligations related to this plan. Following the buy-in, individual policies will replace the bulk annuity policy in a buy-out transaction, which is expected to be completed during the year ending September 30, 2022 where the Company would de-recognize the assets and liabilities of the pension plan and realize a settlement gain or loss as a component of the net periodic pension cost. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the annuity contract is based on the calculated pension benefit obligation covered (Level 3).

The following benefit payments are expected to be paid:


(in millions)	U.S. Plans		Non U.S. Plans
2022	$	4.5	$	3.9
2023	4.1		4.3
2024	4.1		4.8
2025	4.1		4.9
2026	4.2		5.3
2027-2031	20.5		31.5

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company sponsored defined contribution plans in which eligible participants may defer a fixed amount or a percentage of their eligible compensation, subject to limitations, pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company made discretionary matching contributions of eligible compensation. The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans for eligible employees of certain foreign subsidiaries. Contributions are discretionary and evaluated annually. Aggregate contributions charged to operations, including discretionary amounts, for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, were $6.0 million, $7.1 million, and $7.5 million, respectively.

On November 20, 2020, the U.S. Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued Final Regulations (“November 2020 Regulations”) under Internal Revenue Code Sections 245A and 951A related to the treatment of previously disqualified basis under the GILTI regime. The November 2020 Regulations are effective for Fiscal 2022, but the Company can elect to apply them to Fiscal 2018 through Fiscal 2021. The Company expects that the sale of the HHI segment will allow use of tax benefits for years prior to Fiscal 2020 that would have been subject to federal and state tax limitations on the use of carryforwards absent the HHI sale. The Company expects to satisfy the requirements necessary to apply the Regulations retroactively and has therefore estimated and recorded a benefit of $11.4 million for the impact on years prior to Fiscal 2021 in the year ended September 30, 2021, with a benefit of $5.8 million recorded in the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to the HHI sale. The Company also expects to apply the Regulations to Fiscal 2021 and has included the impact in Fiscal 2021 income tax expense.

On July 20, 2020, Final Regulations were issued under Internal Revenue Code Section 951A relating to the treatment of income that is subject to a high rate of tax under the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI“) regime (“July 2020 Regulations“). The July 2020 Regulations are effective for Fiscal 2021, but the Company can elect to apply them to Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2020. The Company has applied the July 2020 Regulations to Fiscal 2020 and recorded a Fiscal 2020 benefit of $4.4 million. The Company expects that the sale of the HHI segment will allow use of tax benefits for years prior to Fiscal 2020 that would have been subject to federal and state tax limitations on the use of carryforwards absent the HHI sale. The Company expects to apply the July 2020 Regulations to Fiscal 2019 by filing an amended return. Therefore a benefit of $6.7 million has been recorded for the year ended September 30, 2021.

On June 14, 2019, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued Regulations (“June 2019 Regulations”) related to the foreign dividends received deduction and GILTI. The June 2019 Regulations contained language that modified certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act“) and previously issued guidance. The June 2019 Regulations were retroactive to January 1, 2018 and caused certain distributions made by the Company’s non-U.S. 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 year ended September 30, 2019. The Company used an additional $454.6 million in net operating losses and recognized $95.9 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 liability for one-time deemed mandatory repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits after application of the June 2019 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 also recorded $70.7 million of foreign tax credits, but concluded it is more likely than not these credits will expire unused and therefore recorded a $70.7 million valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

The Tax Reform Act of December 22, 2017 included a tax on deemed repatriated accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s $25.1 million mandatory repatriation tax is payable over 8 years. The first payment was due January 2019. As of September 30, 2021, $18.9 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.

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an increase of $12.2 million to tax expense from impairment of $116.0 million of book goodwill. A portion of the impairment resulted in a tax benefit since the goodwill had previously been amortized for income tax purposes and the Company therefore reversed a deferred tax liability.

To the extent necessary, the Company intends to utilize free cash flow from foreign subsidiaries in order to support management's plans to voluntarily accelerate pay down of U.S. debt, fund distributions to shareholders, fund U.S. acquisitions and satisfy ongoing U.S. operational cash flow requirements. The Company annually estimates the available earnings, permanent reinvestment classification and the availability of and management’s intent to use alternative mechanisms for repatriation for each jurisdiction in which the Company does business. Accordingly, the Company is providing residual U.S. and foreign deferred taxes on these earnings to the extent they cannot be repatriated in a tax-free manner.

As of September 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company provided $1.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of residual foreign taxes on undistributed foreign earnings.

As a result of the June 2019 Regulations and the deemed mandatory repatriation, the Company does not have significant prior year untaxed, undistributed earnings from its foreign operations at September 30, 2021. There were $500.6 million of the Company’s undistributed earnings taxed in the U.S. as a result of the mandatory deemed repatriation that was part of the Tax Reform Act, and the remaining earnings were taxed as a result of the June 2019 Regulations. The Company recorded GILTI inclusions for the tax year ended September 30, 2021 of $23.4 million. The Company estimates it generated untaxed, undistributed foreign earnings due to high-tax exceptions to GILTI inclusions under the Tax Reform Act for the year ended September 30, 2021 of $23.2 million and has cumulative untaxed, undistributed foreign earnings due to high-tax exceptions as of September 30, 2021 of $62.1 million.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has U.S. federal net operating and capital loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $1,389.3 million with a federal tax benefit of $291.7 million and tax benefits related to state NOLs of $69.6 million. These NOLs expire through years ending in 2041. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has $27.4 million of federal research and development credit carryforwards. $0.4 million of the credits expire Fiscal 2023 and the remainder begin expiring in the Company’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2031. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has foreign NOLs of $398.0 million and tax benefits of $97.7 million, which will expire beginning in the Company's fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $324.2 million of additional foreign net operating losses due to a tax-deductible impairment in Luxembourg of subsidiary stock but recorded a full valuation allowance on the tax benefits of those losses since they are expected to expire unused. Certain of the foreign NOLs have indefinite carryforward periods.

A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions.

The Company has had multiple changes of ownership, as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that subject the Company’s U.S. federal and state NOLs and other tax attributes to certain limitations. The annual limitation is based on a number of factors including the value of the Company’s stock (as defined for tax purposes) on the date of the ownership change, its net unrealized gain position on that date, the occurrence of realized gains in years subsequent to the ownership change and the effects of subsequent ownership changes (as defined for tax purposes), if any. Due to these limitations, the Company estimates, as of September 30, 2021, that $660.5 million of the total U.S. federal NOLs with a federal tax benefit of $138.7 million and $10.0 million of the tax benefit related to state NOLs will expire unused even if the Company generates sufficient income to otherwise use all of its NOLs. The Company also projects, as of September 30, 2021, that $96.1 million of tax benefits related to foreign NOLs will not be used. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets.

The expected gain from the sale of the HHI segment increases the likelihood that the Company can use certain deferred tax assets including federal net operating losses subject to certain limits, state net operating losses previously expected to expire unused, and state research and development credits also previously expected to expire unused; therefore, the Company released $29.2 million of valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets in Fiscal 2021.

The income recognized for the year ended September 30, 2019 as a result of the June 2019 Regulations, the U.S. gain on the sale of the battery business, and the Fiscal 2019 U.S. operating results increased the likelihood that the Company can use federal net operating losses subject to certain limits; therefore, the Company released the $36.7 million of valuation allowance on these losses in Fiscal 2019.

As of September 30, 2021, the valuation allowance is $349.4 million, of which $253.0 million is related to U.S. net deferred tax assets and $96.4 million is related to foreign net deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2020, the valuation allowance was $302.5 million, of which $283.6 million was related to U.S. net deferred tax assets and $18.9 million is related to foreign net deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2019, the valuation allowance was $302.7 million, of which $273.5 million is related to U.S. net deferred tax assets and $29.2 million is related to foreign net deferred tax assets. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company increased its valuation allowance for deferred tax assets by $46.9 million of which $30.6 million is related to a decrease in valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets and $77.5 million related to an increase in the valuation allowance against foreign net deferred tax assets. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company decreased its valuation allowance for deferred tax assets by $0.2 million, of which $10.1 million was related to an increase in valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets and $10.3 million related to a decrease in the valuation allowance against foreign net deferred tax assets.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has recorded $39.2 million of valuation allowance against its U.S. state net operating losses.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2021 and 2020 are $18.0 million and $13.8 million, respectively. If recognized in the future, $18.0 million of the unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2021 will impact the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2021, and 2020 the Company had $1.5 million, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. There was no impact on income tax expense related to interest and penalties for the years ended September 30, 2021. The impact during the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was a net decrease of $1.0 million and a net increase of $0.2 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019:


(in millions)	2021		2020		2019
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year	$	13.8	$	20.7	$	13.8

The September 30, 2021 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for SB/RH Holdings, LLC contains $8.0 million of income taxes payable to its parent company, calculated as if SB/RH Holdings, LLC were a separate taxpayer.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions and is subject to ongoing examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company’s major taxing jurisdictions are the U.S., United Kingdom and Germany. In the U.S., federal tax filings for years prior to and including the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 are closed. However, the federal NOLs from the Company’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 through December 31, 2015 are subject to Internal Revenue Service examination until the year that such net operating loss carryforwards are utilized, and those years are closed for audit. In addition, certain losses from 2002 to 2010 of entities acquired by the Company were able to be used in Fiscal 2019 and are subject to Internal Revenue Service examination until Fiscal 2019 is closed to audit. Filings in various U.S. state and local jurisdictions are also subject to audit and to date no significant audit matters have arisen. As of September 30, 2021, certain of the Company’s legal entities are undergoing income tax audits. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the examinations; however, it is reasonably possible that during the next twelve months some portion of previously unrecognized tax benefits could be recognized.

RELATED PARTIES

Effective the close of the GBL divestiture on January 2, 2019, and GAC divestiture on January 28, 2019, the Company and Energizer entered into a series of TSAs and reverse TSAs that support various shared administrative functions including finance, sales and marketing, information technology, human resources, real estate and supply chain, customer service and procurement; to support both the divested business operations and the continuing operations of the Company, 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 settle on a net basis between the two parties. Charges to Energizer for TSA services are recognized as a reduction of the respective operating costs incurred by the Company and recognized as a component of operating expense or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by the Company. Charges from Energizer for reverse TSA services are recognized as operating expenses or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions supported by Energizer. Effective January 2, 2020, Energizer closed its divestiture of the European based Varta® consumer battery business to Varta AG, which also transferred TSAs and reverse TSAs associated with the divested entities to be assumed by Varta AG. As a result, a portion of the TSA and reverse TSA charges with Energizer were transferred to Varta AG. 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. The Company had exited all outstanding TSAs with Energizer and Varta by January 2021. The following table summarizes the TSA income and expenses during the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019:


(in millions)	2021		2020		2019
TSA income	$	0.9	$	9.6	$	19.1
TSA expense	2.6		13.5		13.9
Net TSA (loss) income	$	(1.7)	$	(3.9)	$	5.2

Additionally, the Company, Energizer, and Varta AG receive cash and/or make payments on behalf of the respective counterparty’s operations as part of the shared operating activity, resulting in cash flow being commingled with the operating cash flow of the Company. The Company recognizes a net payable or receivable with Energizer and Varta AG for any outstanding TSA charges and net working capital attributable to the commingled operations and cash flow. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had net payable of $2.9 million with Energizer included in Other Current Liabilities and net receivable of $5.4 million included in Other Receivables on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had net receivable of $1.7 million with Varta AG included in Other Receivables and net payable $1.0 million included in Other Current Liabilities on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position.

The Company’s H&G segment continued 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 had a contracted term of 24 months and expired in January 2021 with no renewal. Material and inventory on hand to support the supply agreement was recognized as inventory of the Company. During the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $6.0 million, $18.9 million, and $12.5 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 September 30, 2021 the Company had no outstanding receivables from Energizer associated with the H&G supply agreement. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding receivable of $4.4 million from Energizer in Trade Receivables, Net on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position associated with the H&G supply agreement.

Share Repurchases

SBH has a share repurchase program that is executed through purchases made from time to time either in the open market or otherwise. On May 4, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion common stock repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months. As part of the share repurchase program, SBH purchased treasury shares in open market purchases at market fair value, in private purchases from employees or significant shareholders at fair value, and through an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution. The following summarizes the activity of common stock repurchases under the program for the year ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

On November 18, 2019, SBH entered into an ASR to repurchase $125.0 million of the Company’s common stock. At inception, pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $125.0 million to the financial institution using cash on hand and took delivery of 1.7 million shares, which represented approximately 85% of the total shares the Company expected to receive based on the market price at the time of the initial delivery. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. The fair value of shares received initially of $106.3 million was recorded as a treasury stock transaction, with the remainder of $18.7 million recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Upon initial receipt of the shares, there was an immediate reduction in the weighted average common shares calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share. On February 24, 2020, the Company closed and settled the ASR resulting in an additional delivery of 0.3 million shares, with a fair value of $18.5 million. The total number of shares repurchased under the ASR program was 2.0 million at an average cost per share of $61.59, based on the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock during the calculation period of the ASR program, less the applicable contractual discount.

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

12 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2021

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Equity based incentive and performance compensation awards provided to employees, directors, officers and consultants were issued pursuant to the Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. 2011 Omnibus Equity Awards Plan as approved and amended by the Spectrum Legacy stockholders, (the "Spectrum Equity Plan") and the Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Equity Plan, as approved by the Spectrum stockholders (the "New 2020 Equity Plan"). The following is a summary of the authorized and available shares per the respective plans:


(number of shares, in millions)	Authorized	Available
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. 2011 Omnibus Equity Awards Plan	7.1	0.3
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Equity Plan	1.2	1.2

Share based compensation expense is recognized as General and Administrative Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The following is a summary of the share based compensation expense for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019:


(in millions)	2021		2020		2019
SBH	$	28.9	$	31.8	$	44.2
SB/RH	$	27.2	$	30.5	$	42.6

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")

The Company recognizes share based compensation expense from the issuance of its RSUs, primarily under its Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), 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 time-based grants that provide for either 3-year cliff vesting or graded vesting depending upon the vesting conditions and forfeitures provided by the grant. Certain RSUs are performance-based awards that are dependent upon achieving specified financial metrics (adjusted EBITDA, return on adjusted equity, and adjusted free cash flow) over a designated period of time. 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.

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company also provided for bridge awards, that are special awards to certain employees, for transitioning to the LTIP from previous equity incentive compensation plans. Bridge awards have both performance conditions dependent upon achieving specified financial targets (adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow) in fiscal years ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, and time-based service conditions. All Bridge awards were fully vested during the year ended September 30, 2021 and paid in either RSUs or cash, or both, based upon an employee election when granted. Bridge awards elected to be payable in RSU were recognized as equity awards and included as a component of share-based compensation expense. Bridge awards elected to be payable in cash were not recognized as equity awards and excluded from share-based compensation expense.

Additionally, in prior years, the Company provided for a portion of its annual management incentive compensation plan ("MIP") to be paid in restricted stock units with immediate vesting, in lieu of cash payment. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company changed its MIP payout policy that previously provided for the issuance of stock for a designated pool of recipients to be fully funded through cash distribution with no stock issuance. As a result, there was no portion of annual MIP paid in common stock for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Share based compensation expense associated with the annual MIP was $15.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2019.

The Company measures share based compensation expense of its Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) based on the fair value of the awards, as determined based on the market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the grant date and recognized these costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite period of the awards. Certain RSUs are performance-based awards that are dependent upon achieving specified financial metrics over a designated period of time. As of September 30, 2021, the remaining unrecognized pre-tax compensation cost for SBH and SB/RH is $34.6 million.

The following is a summary of the RSU activity for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	12 Months Ended
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	Sep. 30, 2021
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any of the matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows. Shareholder Litigation. On July 12, 2019, an amended consolidated class action complaint filed earlier in 2018 was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (the “Court”) by the Public School Teachers’ Pension & Retirement Fund of Chicago and the Cambridge Retirement against Spectrum Brands’ Legacy, Inc. (“Spectrum Legacy”). The complaint alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The amended complaint added HRG Group, Inc. (“HRG”), the predecessor to the Company, as a defendant and asserted additional claims against the Company on behalf of a purported class of HRG shareholders. The class period of the consolidated amended complaint is from January 26, 2017 to November 19, 2018, and the plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, interest, attorneys’ and expert fees and costs. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company reached a proposed settlement resulting in an insignificant loss, net of third-party insurance coverage and payment, pending final approval by the Court. In February 2021, the Court declined to approve the proposed settlement without prejudice because the Court determined that as a procedural matter the plaintiff’s counsel had not taken the appropriate actions to be appointed to represent the purported class of HRG shareholders. The court subsequently appointed separate counsel to represent the HRG shareholder class. In August 2021, the Company reached an agreement in principle, subject to final documentation and approval of the Court, to settle the claims of the Spectrum Legacy class, the cost of which will be defrayed by third-party insurance. In October 2021, the Company reached an agreement in principle, subject to final documentation and approval of the Court, to settle the claims of the HRG class, the cost of which will be defrayed by third-party insurance. Environmental. The Company has provided for an estimated cost of $11.3 million and $11.6 million, as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, associated with environmental remediation activities primarily with some of its former manufacturing sites, included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Product Liability. The Company may be named as a defendant in lawsuits involving product liability claims. The Company has recorded and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management’s estimate for aggregate exposure for such liabilities based upon probable loss from loss reports, individual cases, and losses incurred but not reported. As of September 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company recognized $3.0 million and $3.9 million in product liability, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Product Warranty. The Company recognizes an estimated liability for standard warranty on certain products when we recognize revenue on the sale of the warranted products. Estimated warranty costs incorporate replacement parts, products and delivery, and are recorded as a cost of goods sold at the time of product shipment based on historical and projected warranty claim rates, claims experience and any additional anticipated future costs on previously sold products. The Company recognized $0.4 million of warranty accruals as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Statement. Other. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized legal reserves at our H&G division of approximately $3.2 million attributable to significant and unusual non-recurring claims with no previous history or precedent, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

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. The Company manages its continuing operations in three vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) GPC, which consists of the Company’s worldwide pet care business; (ii) H&G, which consists of the Company’s home and garden and insect control business and (iii) HPC, which consists of the Company’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 responsible for the sales and marketing initiatives and financial results for product lines within the segment. The segments are supported through center-led corporate shared service operations consisting of finance and accounting, information technology, legal and human resource, supply chain and commercial operations.

Net sales relating to the segments for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:


(in millions)	2021		2020		2019

HPC	$	1,260.1	$	1,107.6	$	1,068.1
GPC	1,129.9		962.6		870.2
H&G	608.1		551.9		508.1
Net sales	$	2,998.1	$	2,622.1	$	2,446.4

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 under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"); and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, other incentive compensation also includes incentive bridge awards issued due to changes in the Company’s LTIP that allowed for cash based payment upon employee election but does not qualify for share-based compensation. All bridge awards fully vested in November 2020. See Note 19 - Share Based Compensation for further details.

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

•Transaction related charges that consist of (1) transaction costs from acquisitions or subsequent project costs directly associated with integration of an acquired business with the consolidated group; and (2) transaction costs from divestitures and subsequent project costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, including development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred and exiting of transition service arrangements (TSAs) and reverse TSAs. See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Practices for further details;

•Unallocated shared costs associated with discontinued operations from certain shared and center-led administrative functions supporting the Company's business units excluded from income from discontinued operations as they are not a direct cost of the discontinued business but a result of indirect allocations, including but not limited to, information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, supply chain, and commercial operations. Amounts attributable to unallocated shared costs would be mitigated through subsequent strategic or restructuring initiatives, TSAs, elimination of extraneous costs or re-allocation or absorption by existing continuing operations following the completed sale of the discontinued operations. See Note 3 - Divestitures for further details;

•Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold its remaining shares in Energizer common stock. See Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further details;

EARNINGS PER SHARE – SBH

12 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2021

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE – SBH

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to controlling interest by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the dilution that would occur if share-based awards were converted into common shares that then shared in the net income of the entity available to common shareholders, as long as their effect is not antidilutive. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of potentially diluted share-based awards. The Company uses the treasury stock method to reflect dilution of restricted stock units. Performance based restricted stock units are excluded if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares is contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation and the anti-dilutive shares for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, are as follows:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Year End

Use of Estimates

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Receivables

ReceivablesTrade accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history, but generally does not require collateral. The Company monitors its customers’ credit and financial condition based on changing economic conditions and will make adjustments to credit policies as required. Provisions for losses on uncollectible trade receivables are determined based on ongoing evaluations of the Company’s receivables, principally on the basis of historical collection experience and evaluations of the risks of nonpayment or return for a given customer.

Inventories

InventoriesThe Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt Issuance CostsDebt issuance costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the related debt agreements. Debt issuance costs for the Company were $35.6 million and $36.5 million as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Debt issuance costs are included as a reduction to Long Term Debt, Net of Current Portion in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Amortization of debt issuance costs is recognized as a component of Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Financial Instruments

Financial InstrumentsDerivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its foreign currency exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative assets and liabilities are reported at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. When hedge accounting is elected at inception, the Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. Depending on the nature of derivatives designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets or liability through earnings, or recognized in equity through other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized. Derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows and are designated as cash flow hedges, and the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income (“AOCI”) in Stockholders’ Equity. Those amounts are subsequently reclassified to earnings in the same line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income as impacted by the hedge item when the hedged item affects earnings. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions. For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the change in the fair value is recognized in earnings.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock purchases are stated at average cost and presented as a separate reduction of equity.

Noncontrolling Interest

Business Combinations and Acquisition Accounting

Business Combinations and Acquisition AccountingThe Company accounts for acquisitions by applying the acquisition method of accounting when the transaction or event is considered a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. A defined business is generally an acquired group of assets with inputs and processes that make it capable of generating a return or economic benefit for the acquirer. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at their fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition.

Revenue Recognition

Product Sales

Licensing Revenue

Other Revenue

Variable Consideration and Cash Paid to Customers

Product Returns

Practical Expedients and Exemptions:

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

Shipping and Handling Costs

Advertising Costs

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense in the period they are incurred.

Environmental Expenditures

Environmental ExpendituresEnvironmental expenditures that relate to current operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. The Company determines its liability for environmental matters on a site-by-site basis and records a liability at the time when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and such liability can be reasonably estimated. The estimated liability is not reduced for possible recoveries from insurance carriers. Estimated environmental remediation expenditures are included in the determination of the net realizable value recorded for assets held for sale.
