SPECTRUM BRANDS HOLDINGS, INC.
SB/RH HOLDINGS, LLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, unaudited)

This report is a combined report of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (“SBH”) and SB/RH Holdings, LLC (“SB/RH”) (collectively, the “Company”). The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements that follow include both consolidated SBH and SB/RH notes, unless otherwise indicated below.



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.



NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract and performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the updates recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. The ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early adoption available to us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. We have not elected to early adopt. We have performed our preliminary risk assessment and scoping of the adoption impact and are currently performing detailed assessment of various implementation matters that may have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, but we have not concluded on the materiality or method of adoption.



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Although the ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists. The ASU can be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply, relating to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, along with the ability to use hindsight in the evaluation of lease decisions. The ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption available. We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.



In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension costs within the statement of income. The amendment provides guidance requiring the service cost component to be recognized consistent with other compensation costs arising from service rendered by employees during the period, and all other components to be recognized separately outside of the subtotal of income from operations. The ASU is applied on a retrospective basis, and will become effective for us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2019; with early adoption available to us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2018. The net periodic benefit cost for the year ended September 30, 2016 was $4.5 million; of which the service cost component was $2.8 million and other components were $1.7 million. The net periodic benefit cost for the year ending September 30, 2017 will be $7.6 million, of which the service cost component is $3.9 million and other cost components are $3.7 million.

Table of Contents

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. If goodwill impairment is realized, the amount recognized will be the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU must be applied on a prospective basis and will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of the year ended September 30, 2021, with early adoption available. We chose to adopt the standard immediately, with no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.



NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS



The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting. 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.



PetMatrix



On June 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of PetMatrix LLC, a manufacturer and marketer of rawhide-free dog chews consisting primarily of the DreamBone® and SmartBones® brands. The results of PetMatrix’s operations since June 1, 2017 are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, and reported within the PET reporting segment for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017.



The Company has recorded a preliminary 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 the June 1, 2017 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, which includes value associated with the assembled workforce. The calculation of purchase price and preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

Table of Contents

 

The Company performed a valuation of the acquired inventories; tradenames; technologies; customer relationships and non-compete agreements. The fair values were determined based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions used in such valuation are pending completion and subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period; up to one year from the June 1, 2017 acquisition date. 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 indefinite-lived trade names, DreamBone® and SmartBones®, 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 trade names were not owned. Royalty rates were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions, related trademarks and trade names, other similar trademark licensing and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the trade names.



·

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. Royalty rates were 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 Company anticipates using these technologies through the legal life of the underlying patents; therefore, the expected useful life of these technologies is based on the remaining life of the underlying patents.



·

Customer relationships – The Company valued customer relationships using an income approach, the multi-period excess earnings method. 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. The incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset are then discounted to their present value. Only expected sales from current customers were used, which are estimated using annual expected growth rates of 2% to 20%. The Company assumed a customer retention rate of up to 98%, which is supported by historical retention rates. Income taxes were estimated at 35% and amounts were discounted using a rate of 12%.



·

Non-compete agreements – The Company valued the non-compete agreement using the income approach that compares the prospective cash flows with and without the non-compete agreement in place. The value of the non-compete agreement is the difference between the discounted cash flows of the business under each of these two alternative scenarios, considering both tax expenditure and tax amortization benefits.



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



GloFish



On May 12, 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Yorktown Technologies LP, for the acquisition of assets consisting of the GloFish branded operations, including transfer of the GloFish® brand, related intellectual property and operating agreements. The GloFish operations primarily consist of the development and licensing of fluorescent fish for sale through mass retail and online channels. The results of GloFish’s operations since May 12, 2017 are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, and reported within the PET reporting segment for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017.

The Company has recorded a preliminary 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 the May 12, 2017 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, which includes value associated with the assembled workforce, including an experienced research team. The calculation of purchase price and preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

The Company performed a valuation of the acquired tradenames; technologies; customer relationships and contingent consideration. The fair values were determined based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions used in such valuation are pending completion and subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period; up to one year from the May 12, 2017 acquisition date. The following is a summary of significant inputs to the valuation:



·

Tradenames – The Company valued indefinite-lived trade names 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 trade names were not owned. Royalty rates were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions, related trademarks and trade names, other similar trademark licensing and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the trade names.



·

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. Royalty rates were 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 Company anticipates using these technologies through the legal life of the underlying patents; therefore, the expected useful life of these technologies is based on the remaining life of the underlying patents.



·

Customer relationships – The Company valued customer relationships using a replacement cost. The replacement cost approach values the intangible asset at the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the customer relationships after deducting the cost to recreate key customer relationships. The incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset are then discounted to their present value. Income taxes were estimated at 35% and amounts were discounted using a rate of 12%.



·

Contingent consideration – The Company purchase of GloFish includes a future payment that is contingent upon the achievement of future financial performance, and was valued using at its fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is sensitive to increases or decreases in revenue projections used in the assumptions.



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

On October 6, 2016, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement under its Term Loans and Revolver Facility (the “Credit Agreement”) reducing the interest rate margins applicable to the USD Term Loans to either adjusted LIBOR (International Exchange London Interbank Offered Rate), subject to a 0.75% floor plus margin of 2.50% per annum, or base rate with a 1.75% floor plus margin of 1.50% per annum. The Company recognized $1.0 million of costs in connection with amending the Credit Agreement that has been recognized as interest expense.



On March 6, 2017, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement expanding the overall capacity of the Revolver Facility to $700 million, reducing the interest rate margin to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%, reducing the commitment fee to 35bps, and extending the maturity to March 2022. The Company recognized $2.6 million of costs in connection with amending the cash revolver that has been deferred as debt issuance costs.



On April 7, 2017, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement reducing the interest rate margins applicable to the USD Term Loans to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin of 2.00% per annum, or base rate plus margin of 1.00%. The Company recognized $0.6 million of costs in connection with amending the Credit Agreement that has been recognized as interest expense.



On May 16, 2017, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement increasing its USD Term Loan by $250.0 million of incremental borrowings and removing the floor which both LIBOR and base rates were subject to. The Company recognized $2.7 million as costs in connection with the increased borrowing that has been deferred as debt issuance costs.



On May 24, 2017, the Company extinguished its Euro Term Loan and recognized non-cash interest expense of $0.6 million for previously deferred debt issuance costs in connection with the extinguishment.



Subsequent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement discussed above, the Term Loans and Revolver Facility are subject to variable interest rates, (i) the USD Term Loan is subject to either adjusted LIBOR, plus margin of 2.00% per annum, or base rate plus margin of 1.00% per annum; (ii) the CAD Term Loan is subject to either CDOR (Canadian Dollar Offered Rate), subject to a 0.75% floor plus 3.50% per annum, or base rate with a 1.75% floor plus 2.50% per annum; (iii) the Euro Term Loan was subject to either EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate), subject to a 0.75% floor plus 2.75% per annum; and (iv) the Revolver Facility is subject to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% per annum, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% per annum. As a result of borrowings and payments under the Revolver Facility, at July 2, 2017, the Company had borrowing availability of $385.4 million, net outstanding letters of credit of $20.1 million and a $1.5 million amount allocated to a foreign subsidiary.

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 July 2, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 6.625% Notes, the 6.125% Notes, the 5.75% Notes, and the 4.00% Notes.



On October 20, 2016, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding aggregate principal on the 6.375% Notes of $129.7 million with a make whole premium of $4.6 million recognized as interest expense for the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 in connection with the issuance of the €425 million aggregate principal amount 4.00% unsecured notes due 2026 (the “4.00% Notes”) and repurchase of the 6.375% Notes on September 20, 2016. The Company recognized $1.9 million in non-cash interest expense for previously deferred debt issuance costs associated with the 6.375% Notes.



NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVES



Cash Flow Hedges





Interest Rate Swaps. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges with the changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The swaps settle periodically in arrears with the related amounts for the current settlement period payable to, or receivable from, the counterparties included in accrued liabilities or receivables, respectively, and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. At July 2, 2017, the Company had a series of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fix the interest on floating rate debt, exclusive of lender spreads, at 1.76% for a notional principal amount of $300 million through May 2020. The derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $1.0 million, net of tax. The Company’s interest rate swap financial instruments at July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016 are as follows:

Commodity Swaps. The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At July 2, 2017, the Company had a series of zinc and brass swap contracts outstanding through December 2018. The derivative net gains estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $1.4 million, net of tax. The Company had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net Sales or purchase price variance in Cost of Goods Sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At July 2, 2017, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through December 2018. The derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $5.5 million, net of tax. At July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $283.5 million and $224.8 million, respectively.

Net Investment Hedge



On September 20, 2016, SBI issued €425 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Notes. The 4.00% Notes are denominated in Euros and were designated as a net investment hedge of the translation of the Company’s net investments in Euro denominated subsidiaries at the time of issuance. As a result, the translation of the Euro denominated debt is recognized as AOCI with any ineffective portion recognized as foreign currency translation gains or losses on the statement of income when the aggregate principal exceeds the net investment in its Euro denominated subsidiaries. Net gains or losses from the net investment hedge are reclassified from AOCI into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of Euro denominated subsidiaries. As of July 2, 2017, the hedge was fully effective and no ineffective portion was recognized in earnings.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes



Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Taiwanese Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are economic hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At July 2, 2017, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through July 2017. At July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had $204.2 million and $131.4 million, respectively, of notional value of such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.



Commodity Swaps. The Company periodically enters into commodity swap contracts to economically hedge the risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically the pass-through of market prices for silver used in manufacturing purchased watch batteries. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The swap contracts are designated as economic hedges with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings and as an asset or liability at each period end. The unrecognized changes in the fair value of the hedge contracts are adjusted through earnings when the realized gains or losses affect earnings upon settlement of the hedges. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of silver through a specified date. At July 2, 2017, the Company had a series of commodity swaps outstanding through November 2018. The Company had the following commodity swaps outstanding as of July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016:

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 was less than $0.1 million as of July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016.



The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral as a result of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. As of July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, there was no cash collateral outstanding. In addition, as of July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES



The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017 and July 3, 2016 is as follows:





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

Three Months Ended

 

Nine Months Ended

Effective tax rate

17.7% 



The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to these periods differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% net of U.S. and non-U.S. taxes provided on income earned outside the U.S. that is not permanently reinvested. For the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017, the effective tax rate was reduced for the recognition of tax credits. For the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was reduced by the release of valuation allowance on US net operating loss deferred tax assets and increased due to $25.5 million of income tax expense recognized for a tax contingency reserve for a tax exposure in Germany. For the nine month period ended July 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was also reduced by $5.9 million for non-recurring items related to the impact of tax law changes in state deferred tax rates on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities.





NOTE 16  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



The Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. 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.



Environmental. The Company has provided for the estimated costs of $4.3 million and $4.4 million, as of July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, associated with environmental remediation activities at some of its current and former manufacturing sites. 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.

Table of Contents

 

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 July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $7.1 million and $8.0 million in product liability accruals, 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 $6.8 million and $7.5 million of warranty accruals as of July 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Statement.



Product Safety Recall. On June 10, 2017, the Company initiated a voluntary safety recall of various rawhide chew products for dogs sold by the Company’s PET segment due to possible chemical contamination. As a result, the Company recognized estimated losses related to the recall of $11.9 million as of July 2, 2017, which comprised of estimates for customer losses and direct incremental costs incurred by the Company. Additionally, the Company recognized $13.0 million of inventory write-offs associated with inventory on-hand that was determined to be a risk of loss due to the recall. The estimates for customer losses reflect the cost of the affected products returned to or replaced by the Company and the estimated cost to reimburse customers for costs incurred by them related to the recall. The incremental costs incurred directly by the company do not include lost earnings associated with interruption of production at the Company’s facilities, or the costs to put into place corrective and preventative actions at those facilities. The Company’s estimates for losses related to the recall are provisional and were determined based on an assessment of information currently available and may be revised in subsequent periods as the Company continues to work with its customers to substantiate claims received to date and any additional claims that may be received. The Company suspended production at facilities impacted by the product safety recall and completed a comprehensive manufacturing review and is recommencing production during the fourth quarter ending September 30, 2017. There have been no lawsuits or claims related to the recalled product filed against the Company.



NOTE 17 - 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 the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manufactures, markets and/or distributes multiple product lines through various distribution networks, and in multiple geographic regions.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as its metric for evaluating operating performance as it reflects how the Chief Operating Decision Maker is currently 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: (1) share based compensation expense as it is a non-cash based compensation cost; (2) acquisition and integration costs that consist of transaction costs from acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with the acquired business; (3) restructuring and related costs, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives across the segments; (4) non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings subsequent to an acquisition; (5) non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized; (6) and other. During the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017, other adjustments consist of estimated costs for a non-recurring voluntary recall of rawhide product by the PET segment and professional fees associated with non-acquisition based strategic initiatives of the Company. During the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2016, other adjustments consists of costs associated with the onboarding a key executive and the involuntary transfer of inventory.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



Introduction



The following is management’s discussion of the financial results, liquidity and other key items related to our performance and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term the “Company,” “Spectrum,” “we,” “our,” or “us” are used to refer to Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries and SB/RH Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries, collectively.



Business Overview



We are a diversified global branded consumer products company. The Company manufactures, markets and/or distributes its products in approximately 160 countries in the North America (“NA”), Europe, Middle East & Africa (“EMEA”), Latin America (“LATAM”) and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) regions through a variety of trade channels, including retailers, wholesalers and distributors, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), construction companies and hearing aid professionals. We enjoy strong name recognition of our various brands and patented technologies. Our diversified global branded consumer products have positions in several product categories and types. We manage the businesses in five vertically integrated, product-focused segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances (“GBA”), (ii) Global Pet Supplies (“PET”), (iii) Home and Garden (“H&G”), (iv) Hardware & Home Improvement (“HHI”) and (v) Global Auto Care (“GAC”). Global and geographic strategic initiatives and financial objectives are determined at the corporate level. Each segment is responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a general manager responsible for sales and marketing initiatives and the financial results for all product lines within that segment. See Note 16, “Segment Information” of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information pertaining to segments. The following table summarizes the respective product types, brands, and regions for each of the segments:

Acquisitions



The following recent acquisition activity has a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements.



·

PetMatrix - On June 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of PetMatrix, LLC, a manufacturer and marketer of rawhide-free dog chews consisting primarily of the DreamBone® and SmartBones® brands. The results of PetMatrix’s operations since June 1, 2017 are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the PET reporting segment for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017.

·

GloFish - On May 12, 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Yorktown Technologies LP, for the acquisition of assets consisting of the GloFish operations, including transfer of the GloFish® brand, related intellectual property and operating agreements. The GloFish operations consist of the development and licensing of fluorescent fish for sale through retail and online channels. The results of GloFish’s operations since May 12, 2017 are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the PET reporting segment for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017.



See Note 3, “Acquisitions” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly report for additional detail.



Refinancing Activity



The following recent financing activity has a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three and nine-month periods ended July 2, 2017, the Company entered into various amendments to the Credit Agreement under its Term Loans resulting in the increase to its USD Term Loan, repayment of the Euro Term Loan, increase in the capacity of the Revolver Facility and changes to the applicable variable interest rates. See Note 9, “Debt” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional detail.



Restructuring Activity



We continually seek to improve our operational efficiency, match our manufacturing capacity and product costs to market demand and better utilize our manufacturing resources. We have undertaken various initiatives to reduce manufacturing and operating costs, which may have a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The most significant of these initiatives are:



·

GAC Business Rationalization Initiative, which began in the three month period ended July 3, 2016 and anticipated to be incurred through September 30, 2017;

·

PET Rightsizing Initiative, which began during the three-month period ended April 2, 2017 and is anticipated to be incurred through December 31, 2017; and

·

HHI Distribution Center Consolidation, which began in the three-month period ended April 2, 2017 and is anticipated to be incurred through September 30, 2019.



See Note 4, “Restructuring and Related Charges” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly report for additional detail.



Safety Recall



On June 10, 2017, the Company initiated a voluntary safety recall of various rawhide chew products for dogs sold by the Company’s PET segment due to possible chemical contamination. The Company estimated losses of $24.9 million for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017, which comprised of $11.9 million of estimates for customer losses and direct incremental costs incurred by the Company, and $13.0 million of inventory write-offs associated with inventory on-hand that was determined to be obsolete. The Company suspended production at facilities impacted by the product safety recall and completed a comprehensive manufacturing review and it recommencing production during the fourth quarter ending September 30, 2017. See Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report for additional detail.

Non-GAAP Measurements



Our consolidated and segment results contain non-GAAP metrics such as organic net sales, and adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization”). While we believe organic net sales and adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our financial results in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.



Organic Net Sales. We define organic net sales as net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and/or impact from acquisitions (when applicable). We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rate and/or acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’s net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior period. The following is a reconciliation of reported net sales to organic net sales for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017 compared to net sales for the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2016, respectively:

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management and we believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects ongoing operating performance and trends of our segments, excluding certain non-cash based expenses and/or non-recurring items during each of the comparable periods. It also facilitates comparisons between peer companies since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for determining compliance with the Company’s debt covenant. See Note 9, “Debt” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional detail.



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 compensation expense as it is a non-cash based compensation cost, see Note 13 “Share Based Compensation” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report for further details;  

·

Acquisition and integration charges that consist of transaction costs from acquisition transactions during the period or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with the acquired business, see Note 3 “Acquisition and Integration Charges” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report for further details;  

·

Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives across the segments, see Note 4 “Restructuring and Related Charges” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report for further details;  

·

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

·

Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized (when applicable); and

·

Other adjustments as further discussed.



During the three and nine month period ended July 2, 2017, other adjustments consist of estimated costs for a non-recurring voluntary recall of rawhide product by the PET segment (see Note 16, “Commitment and Contingencies” in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report for further details) and professional fees associated with non-acquisition based strategic initiatives of the Company. During the three and nine month period ended July 3, 2016, other adjustments consisted of costs associated with the onboarding of a key executive and the involuntary transfer of inventory.

Gross Profit. For the three month period ended July 2, 2017 gross profit decreased $57.2 million, attributable to a reduction in in net sales and lower gross profit margin. Gross profit margin decreased to 36.3% from 39.0% due to the decrease in organic sales and the pet safety recall discussed above. For the nine month period ended July 2, 2017, gross profit decreased $55.6 million attributable to a decrease in gross profit margin. Gross profit margin decreased to 37.4% from 37.8% primarily due to due to the decrease in organic sales and the pet safety recall discussed above.



Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three month period ended July 2, 2017 decreased $8.3 million primarily due to the decrease in share based compensation expense of $10.6 million and acquisition & integration related costs of $2.2 million partially offset by the increase in restructuring and related charges of $4.6 million. Operating expenses for the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 decreased $10.9 million primarily due to the decrease in share based compensation of $19.0 million and acquisition & integration related costs of $16.2 million, partially offset by the increase in restructuring and related charges of $8.4 million and depreciation & amortization expense of $6.4 million, and incremental operating expenses from the PET safety recall and non-recurring GBA costs. See Note 3, “Acquisitions and Integration Costs”, Note 4, “Restructuring and Related Charges” and Note 13 “Share Based Compensation” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional detail.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $7.5 million, or 12.5%, for the three month period ended July 2, 2017 and decreased $17.0 million, or 9.7% for the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 due to the refinancing activity previously discussed.

 

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was 23.9% for the three month period ended July 2, 2017 compared to 29.4% for the three month period ended July 3, 2016. Our effective tax rate was 30.5% for the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 compared to 14.8% for the nine month period ended July 3, 2016. Our estimated annual effective tax rate applied to these periods differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% net of U.S. and non-U.S. taxes provided on income earned outside the U.S. that is not permanently reinvested.



For the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2017, the effective tax rate was also reduced for the recognition of tax credits. For the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was reduced by the release of valuation allowance on US net operating loss deferred tax assets and includes a $25.5 million expense to record a tax contingency reserve for a tax exposure in Germany. During the quarter, a local court ruled against our characterization of certain assets as amortizable under Germany tax law. We have appealed this ruling to the German Federal Court. While we continue to believe that our tax treatment was correct under the applicable German law, we have concluded that sufficient uncertainty on the ruling from the German Federal Court exists to record a full tax contingency for this exposure. For the nine month period ended July 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was also reduced due to $5.9 million for non-recurring items related to the impact of tax law changes and changed in state deferred tax rates on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities.

·

Consumer batteries decreased $2.4 million with no change in organic net sales due to decreases in NA of $7.0 million due to pricing constraints on alkaline batteries offset by volume increases, increases in EMEA of $6.1 million from promotional sales volumes plus expansion with new and existing customers for both branded alkaline and specialty batteries, and increases in APAC of $0.5 million and LATAM of $0.4 million.

·

Small appliances decreased $5.7 million with a decrease in organic sales of $2.0 million due to decreases in EMEA of $2.4 million primarily from Brexit-related market softness in the UK, decreases in LATAM and APAC of $2.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, partially offset by increases in NA of $3.5 million driven by continued growth through e-commerce channels and additional product listings with key retail customers.

·

Personal care appliances decreased $4.9 million with a decrease in organic sales of $2.6 million due to decreases in NA of $2.4 million from softer category POS, reduced retailer shelf space, partially offset by continued growth through e-commerce channels, a decrease in EMEA of $1.0 million from softer category POS, with increases in LATAM and APAC of $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively.



Net sales for the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 decreased $26.3 million, or 1.8%, with an increase in organic net sales of $5.3 million, or 0.4%.



·

Consumer batteries increased $12.5 million with an increase in organic net sales of $21.5 million due to an increases in EMEA of $24.4 million from promotional sales volumes plus expansion with new and existing customers for both branded alkaline and specialty batteries, decreases in NA of $5.0 driven by pricing constraints on alkaline batteries, discontinued private label business, offset by volume increases and strong holiday POS; and increases in APAC of $2.3 million and a decrease in LATAM of $0.2 million.

·

Small appliances decreased $24.0 million with a decrease in organic sales of $9.4 million due to decreases in EMEA of $6.3 million primarily from Brexit-related market softness in the UK, decreases in LATAM and APAC of $6.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, offset by increases in NA of $6.6 million driven by growth in e-commerce channels, promotional sales volumes and additional product listings with key retail customers offsetting slow category POS.

·

Personal care appliances decreased $14.8 million with a decrease in organic sales of $6.8 million due to decreases in NA of $10.1 million from softer category POS, reduced retailer shelf space, and competitor promotions, partially offset by continued growth in e-commerce channels; increases in LATAM and APAC of $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and an increase in EMEA of $1.0 million from promotional sales volumes offset by softer category POS.



Operating income in the three month period ended July 2, 2017 decreased $1.2 million, with an operating margin consistent to the three month period ended July 3, 2016, from unfavorable product mix, increased depreciation and amortization, negative foreign currency, partially offset by cost improvements. Adjusted EBITDA in the three month period ended July 2, 2017 increased $0.3 million and the adjusted EBITDA margin improved 40 bps primarily due to cost improvements.  



Operating income in the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 decreased $2.9 million, with an operating margin consistent to the nine month period ended July 3, 2016, from increased depreciation and amortization, non-recurring costs of $4.6 million primarily associated with bad debt from retail customer bankruptcy and legal expenses, incremental integration costs related to Shaser, and negative foreign currency, offset by cost improvements and product mix improvement. Adjusted EBITDA in the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 increased $5.4 million and the adjusted EBITDA margin improved 60 bps driven by product mix improvement and cost improvements offsetting non-recurring costs previously discussed.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities



Cash flows provided by operating activities increased $44.5 million during the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 due to:



·

Incremental cash generated from the segment operations of $18.3 million; including an increase in cash flow contributed by working capital of $30.6 million, primarily from working capital management initiatives;

·

Decrease in cash paid for interest of $48.1 million due to a reduction in annualized interest costs from refinancing activities previously discussed;

·

Decrease in cash paid for restructuring and integration related activities of $10.9 million; and

·

Decrease in cash paid for income taxes of $2.0 million; partially offset by

·

Cash payment to Stanley Black and Decker of $23.2 million as a non-recurring settlement of transitional operating costs subsequent to the acquisition of the HHI Business acquired in 2013;

·

Increased corporate expenditures for investment in corporate initiatives of $5.4 million; and

·

Non-recurring financing cost of $6.2 million associated with a premium on the redemption of 6.375% Notes and costs for re-pricing the USD Term Loan and Revolver Facility



Cash Flow from Investing Activities



Cash flow used in investing activities increased $319.0 million during the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 due to:



·

Cash used for the purchase of business acquisitions of PetMatrix for $255.0 million and GloFish for $49.7 million;

·

Increase in capital expenditures of $18.5 million associated with incremental investment in capacity expansion and cost reduction projects; partially offset by

·

Increase in proceeds received from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $3.5 million.



Cash Flow from Financing Activities



Cash flows from financing activities increased $239.8 million for the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 due to incremental proceeds from debt issuances offset by cash payments towards debt issuance costs, dividends and treasury stock repurchases.



Debt



During the nine months ended July 2, 2017, the Company recognized incremental proceeds from the issuance of debt of $353.6 million; including $250.0 million from the issuance of USD Term Loan primarily to support funding acquisition activity, incremental net proceeds from the Revolver Facility of $94.5 million primarily to support working capital, acquisition activity and treasury stock repurchases, and $9.1 million of other debt financing. The Company made $223.3 million payments on debt, including $129.7 million for the redemption of the 6.375% Notes, $61.3 million for the redemption of the Euro Term Loan, and $32.3 million of scheduled amortizing payments on debt.



The Company also maintains a $700.0 million revolving credit facility that matures in March 2022 (“Revolver Facility”) which the Company may borrow funds on a variable interest rate. As a result of borrowings and payments under the Revolver Facility, at July 2, 2017, the Company had borrowing availability of $385.4 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $20.1 million and a $1.5 million amount allocated to a foreign subsidiary.



Refer to Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Debt”, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.



At July 2, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 6.625% Notes, the 6.125% Notes, the 5.75% Notes, and the 4.00% Notes.

The Company’s access to the capital markets and financing costs may depend on the credit ratings of the Company when it is accessing the capital markets. None of the Company’s current borrowings are subject to default or acceleration as a result of a downgrading of credit ratings, although a downgrade of the Company’s credit ratings could increase fees and interest charges on future borrowings.



Equity



From time to time we may repurchase outstanding shares of SBH common stock in the open market or otherwise. On July 28, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a $300 million common stock repurchase program. The authorization was effective for 36 months. On January 24, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a $500 million common stock repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months and replaces the pre-existing $300 million common stock repurchase program that was scheduled to expire in July 2018. During the nine month period ended July 2, 2017, treasury share repurchases increased by $125.7 million as 1.3 million shares were repurchased at an average price of $123.90 per share with $437.1 million remaining under the current plan. The repurchase of additional shares in the future will depend upon many factors, including the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and legal requirements.



SBH made cash dividend payments of $72.1 million during the nine month period ended July 2, 2017, an increase of $7.5 million due to the increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.38 to $0.42 per share.



During the nine month period ended July 2, 2017, SBH granted 0.7 million restricted stock units to our employees and our directors. All vesting dates are subject to the recipient’s continued employment, except as otherwise permitted by our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors or in certain cases if the employee is terminated without cause or as otherwise provided in an applicable employment agreement. The total market value of the RSUs on the date of grant was $88.0 million, which represented unearned share based compensation. Such unearned compensation is recognized as expense over the appropriate vesting period. See Note 13, “Share Based Compensation” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.



The Company purchased the remaining 44% non-controlling interest of Shaser, Inc. with a cash payment of $12.6 million. Refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Acquisitions”, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.



SB/RH



Liquidity and capital resources of SB/RH are highly dependent upon the cash flow and financing activities of SBH.



Liquidity Outlook



The Company’s ability to make principal and interest payment on borrowings under its U.S. and foreign credit facilities and its ability to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on its ability to generate cash in the future, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other conditions. Based on its current level of operations, the Company believes that its existing cash balances and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, the Company may request borrowings under its credit facilities and seek alternative forms of financing or additional investments to achieve its longer-term strategic plans.



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and fairly present our financial position and results of operations. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or critical accounting estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

New Accounting Pronouncements



In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract and performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgements, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the updates recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date, which amends the previously issued ASU to provide for a one year deferral from the original effective date. As a result, the ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early adoption available to us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. We have performed our preliminary risk assessment and scoping of the adoption impact and are currently performing a detailed assessment of various implementation matters that may have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, but we have not concluded on the materiality or method of adoption.



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Although the ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists. The ASU can be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply, relating to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, along with the ability to use hindsight in the evaluation of lease decisions. The ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption available. We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.



In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension costs within the statement of income. The amendment provides guidance requiring the service cost component to be recognized consistent with other compensation costs arising from service rendered by employees during the period, and all other components to be recognized separately outside of the subtotal of income from operations. The ASU is applied on a retrospective basis, and will become effective for us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2019; with early adoption available to us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2018. The net periodic benefit cost for the year ended September 30, 2016 was $4.5 million, of which the service cost component was $2.8 million and other components were $1.7 million. The net periodic benefit cost for the year ending September 30, 2017 will be $7.6 million, of which the service cost component is $3.9 million and other cost components are $3.7 million.



In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. If goodwill impairment is realized, the amount recognized will be the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU must be applied on a prospective basis and will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of the year ended September 30, 2021, with early adoption available. We chose to adopt the standard immediately with no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.



Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the nine month period ended July 2, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.    Legal Proceedings



Litigation



We are a defendant in various matters of litigation generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.



Item 1A.   Risk Factors



Information about our risk factors is contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.  With the exception of the change in risk factors discussed below, we believe that at July 2, 2017, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.



HRG and its significant stockholders exercise significant influence over us and their interests in our business may be different from the interests of our stockholders.



HRG, as our majority stockholder, and its significant stockholders, have the ability to influence the outcome of any corporate action by us that requires stockholder approval, including, but not limited to, the election of directors, approval of merger transactions and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, we are a party to a stockholder agreement with HRG and certain of its stockholders. This influence and actual control may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire the Company because any such consummation would likely require the consent of HRG and perhaps certain of its stockholders. HRG may also delay or prevent a change in control of the Company.



In addition, because HRG owns more than 50% of the voting power of the Company, the Company is considered a controlled company under the NYSE listing standards. As such, the NYSE corporate governance rules requiring that a majority of the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s entire compensation committee or the nominating and corporate governance committee be independent do not apply. As a result, the ability of the Company’s independent directors to influence its business policies and affairs may be reduced.



We are one of several companies in which HRG owns a controlling interest. The interests of HRG and these other companies may, from time to time, diverge from the interests of other of the Company’s stockholders and from each other, particularly with regard to new investment opportunities. HRG is not restricted from investing in other businesses involving or related to the marketing or distribution of household products, pet and pest products and personal care products. HRG may also engage in other businesses that compete or may in the future compete with the Company.



If HRG were to sell substantial amounts of the Company’s common stock in the public market, or investors perceive that these sales could occur, the market price of the Company's common stock could be adversely affected. The Company has entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with HRG, certain of HRG’s stockholders and certain other of our stockholders. If requested properly under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, these stockholders have the right to require the Company to register all or some of such shares for sale under the Securities Act in certain circumstances, and also have the right to include those shares in a registration initiated by the Company. If the Company is required to include the shares of its common stock held by these stockholders pursuant to these registration rights in a registration initiated by the Company, sales made by such stockholders may adversely affect the price of the Company's common stock and ability to raise needed capital. In addition, if these stockholders exercise their demand registration rights and cause a large number of shares to be registered and sold in the public market or demand that the Company register its shares on a shelf registration statement, such sales or shelf registration may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s common stock.



As previously announced by HRG in November 2016, HRG disclosed that its Board of Directors had initiated a process to explore the strategic alternatives available to HRG with a view to maximizing shareholder value. HRG has further stated that as part of this process, HRG expects to discuss and may make proposals to one or more of the Company, its management, its board of directors, its stockholders and other persons, including discussions and proposals that may include, but are not limited to, a merger or a sale and/or a business combination of HRG and the Company. HRG has stated there is no definitive schedule for it to complete its review of strategic alternatives.

Table of Contents

 

In light of HRG’s announcement of its exploration of strategic alternatives last November, the Company’s Board of Directors formed a special committee of independent directors and has hired independent financial and legal advisors. The committee is in preliminary discussions with HRG concerning a potential strategic transaction.  Any such transaction is expected to be beneficial to all shareholders of the Company. There can be no assurance that any proposal will be made or that HRG’s process will result in a transaction, or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms, timing or outcome. Neither we nor HRG intend to provide any updates with respect to the foregoing unless determined otherwise in our or HRG’s sole discretion or as required by law.



We face risks related to the impact on foreign trade agreements and relations from the current administration.



Recent changes in the United States federal government have caused uncertainty about the future of trade partnerships and treaties, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”). The current administration has expressed its desire to modify NAFTA and has already taken action against the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (“TPPA”), which have the ability to impact our business on a macro level in terms of demand for American built products, as well as affect the Company’s ability to leverage lower cost facilities in territories outside of the U.S. The current administration has also indicated that imports from China and Mexico, as well as other countries with which the U.S. runs a trade deficit, may be subject to an import tax. We source many products for certain segments of the Company from Mexico, China and other Asian countries. Media and political reactions in the affected countries could potentially impact the ability of the Company’s operations in those countries. Foreign countries may impose additional burdens on U.S. companies through the use of local regulations, tariffs or other requirements which could increase our operating costs in those foreign jurisdictions. It remains unclear what additional actions, if any, the current administration will take. If the United States were to materially modify NAFTA or other international trade agreements to which it is a party, or if tariffs were raised on the foreign-sourced goods that we sell, such goods may no longer be available at a commercially attractive price, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.



We face risks relating to the United Kingdom’s 2016 referendum, which called for its exit from the European Union.



The announcement of the referendum regarding the United Kingdom’s (“UK”) membership in the European Union (“EU”) on June 23, 2016 (referred to as “Brexit”), advising for the exit of the UK from the EU, and subsequent notification of intention to withdraw given on March 29, 2017, has adversely impacted global markets and foreign currencies. In particular, the value of the Pound Sterling has sharply declined as compared to the US Dollar and other currencies. This volatility in foreign currencies is expected to continue as the UK negotiates and executes its exit from the EU, but there is uncertainty over what time period this will occur. A significantly weaker Pound Sterling compared to the US Dollar could have a significant negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The decrease in value to the Pound Sterling and impacts across global markets and foreign currencies may influence trends in consumer confidence and discretionary spending habits, but given the lack of precedent and uncertainty, it is unclear how the implications will affect us.



The intention to withdraw begins a two-year negotiating period to establish the withdrawal terms. Even if no agreement is reached, the UK’s separation still becomes effective unless all EU members unanimously agree on an extension. Negotiations will commence to determine the future terms of the UK relationship with the EU, including, among other things, the terms of trade between the UK and the EU. The effects of Brexit will depend on many factors, including any agreements that the UK makes to retain access to EU markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the UK determines which EU laws to replace or replicate. Any of these effects of Brexit and others we cannot anticipate, Transactions between the UK and the EU, as well as the UK and non-EU countries, such as the United States will be affected because the UK currently operates under the EU’s tax treaties. The UK will need to negotiate its own tax treaties with countries all over the world, which could take years to complete. While we cannot anticipate the outcome of these future negotiations, effects could include uncertainty regarding tax exemptions and reliefs within the EU, as well as expected changes in tax laws or regulations which could materially and adversely affect our business, business opportunities, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

The Company may be subject to product liability claims and product recalls, which could negatively impact its profitability



In the ordinary course of our business, the Company may be named as a defendant in lawsuits involving product liability claims. In any such proceedings, plantiffs may seek to recover large and sometimes unspecified amounts of damages, and the matters may remain unresolved for several years. Any such matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows if we are unable to successfully defend against or settle these matters or if our insurance coverage is insufficient to satisfy any judgments against us or settlement related to these matters. The Company sells perishable treats for animal consumption, which involves risks such as product contamination or spoilage, product tampering, and other adulteration of food products. The Company may be subject to liability if the consumption of any of its products causes injury, illness, or death. In addition, the Company will voluntarily recall products in the event of contamination or damage. For example, on June 10, 2017, the Company initiated a voluntary safety recall of various rawhide chew products for dogs sold by the Company’s PET segment due to possible chemical contamination. The costs of the recall negatively impacted Net Sales, Gross Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA in the PET segment and the Company expects ongoing impacts to its business. A significant product liability judgment or a widespread product recall may negatively impact the Company’s sales and profitability for a period of time depending on product availability, competitive reaction, and consumer attitudes. Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that Company products caused illness or injury could adversely affect the Company’s reputation with existing and potential customers and its corporate and brand image. Although we have product liability insurance coverage and an excess umbrella policy, our insurance policies may not provide coverage for certain, or any, claims against us or may not be sufficient to cover all possible liabilities. We may not be able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future.



Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds



During the nine month period ended July 2, 2017, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act. On July 28, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a $300 million common stock repurchase program. The authorization was effective for 36 months. The following table reflects all shares repurchased within the common stock repurchase program:
