When used in this report, the words anticipate, intend, plan, estimate, believe, expect, project, could, will, should, may and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.
Since these forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations of future events and projections and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and some of which may change rapidly, actual results or outcomes may differ materially from those expressed or implied herein, and you should not place undue reliance on these statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein include, without limitation:

•the impact of our indebtedness on our business, financial condition, and results of operations;
•the impact of restrictions in our debt instruments on our ability to operate our business, finance our capital needs or pursue or expand business strategies;
•any failure to comply with financial covenants and other provisions and restrictions of our debt instruments;
•the effects of general economic conditions, including the impact of, and changes to tariffs and trade policies, inflation, recession or fears of a recession, depression or fears of a depression, labor costs and stock market volatility or monetary or fiscal policies in the countries where we do business;

•the seasonal nature of sales of certain of our products;
•the effects of climate change and unusual weather activity as well as further natural disasters and pandemics;
•the cost and effect of unanticipated legal, tax or regulatory proceedings or new laws or regulations (including environmental, public health and consumer protection regulations);
•our discretion to conduct, suspend or discontinue our share repurchase program (including our discretion to conduct purchases, if any, in a variety of manners including open-market purchases or privately negotiated transactions)
•public perception regarding the safety of products that we manufacture and sell, including the potential for environmental liabilities, product liability claims, litigation and other claims related to products manufactured by us and third parties;
•the impact of existing, pending or threatened litigation, government regulation or other requirements or operating standards applicable to our business;
•the impact of cybersecurity breaches or our actual or perceived failure to protect company and personal data, including our failure to comply with new and increasingly complex global data privacy regulations;
•changes in accounting policies applicable to our business;
•our ability to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards to offset tax liabilities from future taxable income;
•the impact of expenses resulting from the implementation of new business strategies, divestitures or current and proposed restructuring activities;

•the unanticipated loss of key members of senior management and the transition of new members of our management teams to their new roles; and

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 consolidated financial statements that follow include both consolidated SBH and SB/RH Notes, unless otherwise indicated below.
NOTE 1– BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Period-End
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.
SBH’s and SB/RH’s fiscal year ends September 30 and the Company reports its results using fiscal quarters whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length and ends on a Sunday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on October 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on September 30. As a result, the fiscal period end date for the three and nine month periods, included within this Quarterly Report for the Company, are June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Although the new ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists as the economics of leases can vary. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, which provided entities with an alternative modified transition method, for which, comparative periods, including the disclosures related to those periods, are not restated. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 as of October 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach, which allowed for the recognition of a cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings, while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance. The Company’s adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of additional right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets of $107.5 million and additional lease liabilities of $113.0 million, with no material cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption. The difference between ROU assets and lease liabilities was driven primarily by prepaid lease payments, deferred and accrued lease incentives, and restructuring related accruals that were reclassified to the ROU asset balance as of October 1, 2019. The income tax accounting impact of ASC 842 adoption resulted in recording of deferred tax assets and tax liabilities of $29.7 million as of October 1, 2019. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications, and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient for all of its leases to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single, combined lease component. Therefore, all fixed payments associated with the lease, including non-lease components, are included in the ROU asset and the lease liability. Any variable payments related to the lease are recognized as lease expense when and as incurred. The Company also elected not to apply the recognition requirements to leases of twelve months or less. These leases are expensed on a straight-line basis and no operating lease liability is recorded.
In accordance with Topic 842, 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. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Lease liabilities are classified between current and long-term liabilities based on their payment terms. The operating lease ROU 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. As of October 1, 2019, the Company used an average discount rate of approximately 4.6%, based on an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. See Note 11 – Leases for additional information.
We review the impairment of our ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for our other long-lived assets. 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 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.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), which allows for an optional reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). Effective October 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2018-02 and elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act from AOCI to Retained Earnings, which resulted in reclassification of $0.3 million from AOCI to Retained Earnings.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This guidance amends certain rules for hedging relationships, expands the types of strategies that are eligible for hedge accounting treatment to more closely align the results of hedge accounting with risk management activities and amends disclosure requirements related to fair value and net investment hedges. The Company adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2019. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Transaction related charges
Transaction related charges consist of transaction costs from (1) qualifying acquisition transactions associated with the completion of the purchase of net assets or equity interest of a business such as a business combination, equity investment, joint venture or purchase of non-controlling interest; (2) subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business including costs for integration of acquired operations into the Company’s shared service platforms, termination of redundant positions and locations, employee transition costs, integration related professional fees and other post business combination expenses; and (3) divestiture support and separation costs consisting of incremental costs incurred by the continuing operations after completion of the transaction to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction. Divestiture-related charges prior to completion of the transaction are recognized as a component of Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax. Transaction costs include, but are not limited to, banking, advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional fees directly related to the respective transactions. See Note 2 - Divestitures and Note 3 – Acquisitions for further discussion.

NOTE 2 – DIVESTITURES (continued)
During the fiscal third quarter for the period ended June 28, 2020, the Company identified an out of period error in Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax, of $22.6 million as part of the return-to-provision adjustments. These adjustments correct an error in computing the tax on the gain on sales included in the year end tax provision for discontinued operations recognized in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The Company has concluded that the misstatements are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company has updated the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for the year ended September 30, 2019 within this filing and will continue to do so in subsequent filings to reflect the corrected numbers as follows:

The adjustment does not impact the Statement of Income for the comparable interim periods during the year ended September 30, 2019 and will be adjusted to reflect the corrected numbers in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income in our subsequent annual report for the year ended September 30, 2020.
GBL
On January 2, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its GBL business pursuant to the GBL acquisition agreement with Energizer Holdings, Inc. (“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 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 during the year ended September 30, 2019.
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, including manufacturing and distribution facilities in Germany. The purchase price adjustment included a downward adjustment equal to 75% of the difference between the divestiture sale price and the target sale price of $600 million, not to exceed $200 million, or a potential upward adjustment equal to 25% of the excess purchase price. Effective January 2, 2020, Energizer closed its divestiture of the Varta® consumer batteries business to Varta Aktiengesellschaft (“Varta AG”) with an aggregate purchase price of €180 million and, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the GBL acquisition agreement, the Company was obligated to contribute up to $200.0 million to Energizer in connection with the sale. The Company settled the outstanding balance with Energizer for $197.0 million during the three month period ended March 29, 2020.
The Company and Energizer have agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the GBL acquisition agreement and for certain other matters. The Company has agreed to indemnify Energizer for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by the Company, and Energizer has agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities assumed by Energizer, in each case as described in the acquisition agreement. As of June 28, 2020, the Company recognized $50.3 million related to indemnifications in accordance with the acquisition agreement, including $34.0 million within Indemnification Payable to Energizer on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Financial Position primarily attributable to current income tax indemnifications and $16.3 million within Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Financial Position primarily attributable to income tax indemnifications associated with previously recognized uncertain tax benefits.
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 18 – Related Party Transactions for additional discussion.

Beginning in January 2018, the Company ceased the recognition of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets associated with GBL, therefore no depreciation and amortization was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense consists of interest from debt directly held by subsidiaries of the business held for sale, including interest from capital leases, and interest on Term Loans required to be paid down using proceeds received on disposal on sale of a business. The Company paid down the Term Loans after the completion of the GBL divestiture. No impairment loss was recognized as the proceeds from the disposal of the business were more than the carrying value.
During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred transaction costs of $12.9 million associated with the divestiture, which were recognized as a component of income from discontinued operations. Transaction costs were expensed as incurred and included fees for investment banking services, legal, accounting, due diligence, tax, valuation and various other services necessary to complete the transaction. After the completion of the divestiture, the Company incurred incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction which have been recognized as Transaction Related Charges as part of continuing operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies for further detail.
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 the write-down of net assets held for sale of $111.0 million during the year ended September 30, 2019, including the 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 write-down of net assets held for sale for the disposal of the GAC business were recognized as a component of discontinued operations during the year ended September 30, 2019.
The Company and Energizer have agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the GAC acquisition agreement and for certain other matters. The Company has agreed to indemnify Energizer for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by the Company, and Energizer has agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities assumed by Energizer, in each case as described in the acquisition agreement. As of June 28, 2020, the Company has recognized $1.4 million related to indemnifications in accordance with the acquisition agreement within Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position primarily attributable to income tax indemnifications associated with previously recognized uncertain tax benefits.
The Company and Energizer entered into related agreements ancillary to the GAC acquisition that became effective upon the consummation of the acquisition, including a TSA and reverse TSA, a supply agreement with the Company’s H&G business, as well as a shareholder agreement. 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 is recognized as a component of net sales and continuing operations. 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 18 – Related Party Transactions for additional discussion.

NOTE 2 – DIVESTITURES (continued)
Beginning in November 2018, the Company ceased the recognition of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets associated with GAC, resulting in $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization recognized during the nine month period ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense consists of interest from debt directly held by subsidiaries of the business held for sale, including interest from capital leases. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a $110.0 million write-down on net assets held for sale associated with the GAC divestiture attributable to the expected fair value to be realized from the sale, net of transaction costs. The impairment was primarily driven by the change in value of stock consideration to be received as a component of the purchase price from Energizer.
During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred transaction costs of $8.8 million associated with the divestiture, which have been recognized as a component of income from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred and include fees for investment banking services, legal, accounting, due diligence, tax, valuation and various other services necessary to complete the transactions. After the completion of the divestiture, the Company incurred incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction which have been recognized as Transaction Related Charges as part of continuing operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies for further detail.
Coevorden Operations
On March 29, 2020, the Company completed its sale of the dog and cat food (“DCF”) production facility and distribution center in Coevorden, Netherlands (“Coevorden Operations”) pursuant to an agreement with United Petfood Producers NV (“UPP”) for total cash proceeds of $30.1 million. 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 nine month period ended June 28, 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. The Company will continue to operate its commercial DCF business following the divestiture of the Coevorden Operations and entered into a manufacturing agreement with UPP to supply the continuing DCF business, subject to an incremental tolling charge. Additionally, the Company will lease and operate the distribution center on behalf of UPP for up to 18 months following the divestiture under a lease agreement.
NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS
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 three and nine month periods ended June 28, 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.

NOTE 4 - RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
Global Productivity Improvement Plan – 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 of 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 2 – Divestitures and Note 18 – Related Party Transactions for further discussion of continuing involvement with Energizer.  The initiative includes review of global processes 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 $113.9 million as of June 28, 2020, with approximately $74.8 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project costs are anticipated to be incurred through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

As of June 28, 2020$702.2  $430.1  $195.6  $1,327.9  
Following the recognition of the Coevorden Operations as held for sale and allocation of goodwill, the Company remeasured the fair value of its GPC reporting unit goodwill. The fair value of the remaining GPC reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 17% and the Company did not recognize an impairment. The GPC reporting unit goodwill of $430.1 million as of June 28, 2020 is still deemed ‘at risk’ of impairment in the near term if operating performance does not continue to improve in line with management expectations, or a negative long-term outlook for the business, or another change in factors and assumptions such as discount rate. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in additional future impairment charges for the GPC reporting unit goodwill, and potentially other reporting unit goodwill not considered ‘at risk’. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the three month period ended June 28, 2020, a prolonged pandemic could negatively impact the results of operations, net sales and earnings growth rates, changes in key assumptions and other global and regional macroeconomic factors.
The carrying value of indefinite-lived intangibles and definite-lived intangibles assets subject to amortization and accumulated amortization are as follows:

The Company assessed the indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets associated with the continuing commercial DCF business following recognition of the Coevorden Operations as held for sale. During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment of $16.6 million on indefinite-lived intangible assets of tradenames associated with the commercial DCF business due to the reduced value of the associated tradenames, leaving no excess fair value as of the measurement date and risk of future impairment. For the remaining tradenames associated with the DCF business, there were $3.3 million of indefinite lived intangible assets that could be deemed at risk of future impairment due to the limited excess fair value. For definite lived intangible assets, the Company recognized an impairment of $7.6 million due to the incremental cash flow risk associated with the commercial DCF business following the planned divestiture of the Coevorden Operations, which consisted of the remaining carrying cost of the definite lived intangibles assets associated with the commercial DCF business. There were no additional impairments identified during the three month period ended June 28, 2020. While a triggering event did not occur during the three month period ended June 28, 2020, a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact net sales growth rate, change in key assumptions, and other global and regional macroeconomic factors that could result in additional future impairment charges for indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Amortization expense from the intangible assets for the three month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $16.9 million and $16.4 million, respectively; and for the nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $50.9 million and $66.6 million, respectively. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, there was an incremental amortization expense of $15.5 million attributable to amortization expense on intangible assets of HPC that were previously held for sale.
Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions or changes in foreign currency, the Company estimates annual amortization expense of intangible assets for the next five fiscal years will be as follows:

Revolver Facility
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. During the three month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company increased its overall capacity of the Revolver Facility by $90.0 million, resulting in a total capacity of $890.0 million. All amounts under the additional capacity are subject to either LIBOR plus margin ranging between 2.00% to 2.50% per annum, or base rate plus margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%. As a result of borrowings and payments under the Revolver Facility, the Company had borrowing availability of $341.3 million at June 28, 2020, net of outstanding letters of credit of $20.7 million.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on June 30, 2020, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which refinances the Company’s previously existing credit facility and includes certain modified terms from the previously existing revolving credit facility, including extending the maturity to June 30, 2025, reducing the revolving facility under the Credit Agreement from $890 million to $600 million (with a U.S. dollar tranche and a multicurrency tranche), and changing the interest rate margins applicable to the facility 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 Credit Agreement is otherwise provided on the same terms and conditions as the previously existing Revolver Facility. The Company incurred $5.1 million in connection with the Credit Agreement, which will be capitalized as debt issuance costs in the fourth quarter of the year ending September 30, 2020 and amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement.
6.625% Notes

Effective November 15, 2019, SBI completed the tender and call of its 6.625% Senior Unsecured Notes with an outstanding principal of $117.4 million, recognizing a loss on extinguishment of the debt of $2.6 million including a non-cash charge of $1.1 million attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the debt.

5.500% Notes

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on June 30, 2020, SBI issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "5.50% Notes") and entered into the indenture governing the 5.50% Notes (the “2030 Indenture”). The 5.50% Notes mature on July 15, 2030 and are unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by SB/RH and by SBI’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Credit Agreement . The proceeds from the 5.50% Notes were used for repayment of the Revolver Facility obligation.

SBI may redeem all or part of the 5.50% Notes at any time on or after July 15, 2025 at certain fixed redemption prices as set forth in the 2030 Indenture. In addition, prior to July 15, 2025, SBI may redeem the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Before July 15, 2023, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal notes with cash equal to the net proceeds that SBI raises in equity offerings at specified redemption price as set forth in the 2030 Indenture. Further, the 2030 Indenture requires SBI to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding 5.50% Notes upon the occurrence of a change of control of SBI, as defined in the 2030 Indenture.

The 2030 Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payments of dividends on or redemption or repurchase of equity interests, the making of certain investments, expansion into unrelated businesses, creation of liens on assets, merger or consolidation with another company, transfer or sale of all or substantially all assets, and transactions with affiliates.

In addition, the 2030 Indenture provides for customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to make payments when due or an acceleration of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

The Company incurred $4.9 million of fees in connection with the offering of the 5.50% Notes, which will be capitalized as debt issuance costs in the fourth quarter of the year ending September 30, 2020 and amortized over the remaining life of the 5.50% Notes.

Salus

The obligations of the Salus CLO securitization were secured by the assets of the variable interest entity (the "VIE"), which primarily consisted of asset-based loan receivables and carry residual interest subject to maintenance of certain covenants. The obligations of the CLO were non-recourse to the Company. As of September 30, 2019, the CLO’s assets consisted of $0.4 million of cash that was being held to cover wind-down and legal expenses. The CLO has effectively distributed the remaining assets and as of June 3, 2020, the CLO was discharged of its obligation under the indentures as there were no assets that remained with the CLO to service the outstanding debt and no recourse to the Company. Following the discharge of the debt, there are no substantial net assets remaining with the VIE. During the three and nine period ended June 28, 2020, the CLO realized a non-cash gain on extinguishment of debt of $76.2 million attributable to the discharge of the debt, consisting of $77.0 million for the carrying value of the outstanding debt upon discharge, and $0.1 million for the unamortized discount on the associated debt and $0.7 million for debt issuance costs.
NOTE 11 – LEASES
The Company has leases primarily pertaining to manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, office space, warehouses, automobiles, machinery, computer, and office equipment that expire at various times through February 28, 2047.

NOTE 12 - DERIVATIVES
Cash Flow Hedges
Commodity Swaps. The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes. Brass consists of zinc and copper. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials using commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At June 28, 2020, the Company had a series of brass and zinc swap contracts outstanding through November 30, 2021. The derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $0.1 million, net of tax.
The Company had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of June 28, 2020 and September 30, 2019:

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net Sales or purchase price variance in Cost of Goods Sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At June 28, 2020, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through December 29, 2021. The derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $1.1 million, net of tax. At June 28, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $196.5 million and $235.6 million, respectively.
Interest Rate Swaps. The Company had a series of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fixed the interest on floating rate debt related to the 2022 Term Loan, exclusive of lender spreads, at 1.76% for a notional principal amount of $300.0 million through May 8, 2020. On January 4, 2019, the underlying debt and related hedge were settled. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $3.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2019, recognized as a component of discontinued operations as interest expense from the Term Loans per Note 2 – Divestitures. As of June 28, 2020, there are no outstanding interest rate swaps hedges.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes
Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward 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, Philippine Pesos, Australian Dollars, Polish Zlotys, Mexican Pesos, or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At June 28, 2020, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through July 24, 2020. At June 28, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had $585.0 million and $977.5 million, respectively, of notional value of such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.

The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which were not significant as of June 28, 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 of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. As of June 28, 2020, and September 30, 2019, there was no cash collateral outstanding and no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions.

NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVES (continued)
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 Income (Expense). As of June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 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 three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, pre-tax:

During the three month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company did not recognize a pre-tax gain in earnings related to the translation of the undesignated portion of debt obligation. During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss in earnings of $1.2 million. 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.
NOTE 13 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has not changed the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the year.

The fair value measurements of the Company’s debt represent non-active market exchanged traded securities which are valued at quoted input prices that are directly observable or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. See Note 10 – Debt for additional detail on outstanding debt of SBH and SB/RH.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and short term debt approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3).

NOTE 15 – SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY
Share Repurchases
The Company has a share repurchase program that is executed through purchases made from time to time either in the open market or otherwise. On July 24, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a $1 billion common stock repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months. As part of the share repurchase program, the Company purchased treasury shares in open market purchases at market fair value, in private purchases from Company employees at fair value, and through an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution.
On November 18, 2019, SBH entered into an ASR to repurchase $125 million of the Company’s common stock. At inception, pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $125 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.
The following summarizes the activity of common stock repurchases under the program for the nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019

NOTE 16 - SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
Share based compensation expense is recognized as General and Administrative Expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The following is a summary of share based compensation expense for the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 for SBH and SB/RH, respectively.

SBH$12.8  $14.0  $38.8  $35.8  
SB/RH$12.5  $13.6  $37.9  $34.7  
The Company recognizes share based compensation expense primarily from the issuance of its Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) based on the fair value of the awards, as determined by the market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the designated grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Certain RSUs are performance-based awards that are dependent upon achieving specified financial metrics over a designated period of time.
Beginning in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the Company provided to certain employees RSU grants issued under a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), with a 3-year, cliff vesting schedule and having both performance conditions dependent upon achieving specified financial targets (adjusted EBITDA, return on equity, and adjusted free cash flow) and time-based service. 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 vest annually, on November 21, 2019 and November 21, 2020, and have both performance conditions dependent upon achieving specified financial targets in fiscal year 2019 and 2020, respectively, (adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow) and time-based service conditions (60% performance/40% service). Bridge awards are payable in either RSUs or cash, or both, based upon an employee election. Bridge awards elected to be payable in RSU are recognized as equity awards and included as a component of share-based compensation expense. Additionally, the Company regularly issues individual RSU awards under its equity plan to its Board members and individual employees for recognition, incentive, or retention purposes, when needed, which are primarily conditional upon time-based service conditions and included as a component of share-based compensation.

In addition to RSU awards, the Company also provides for a portion of its annual management incentive compensation plan (“MIP”) to be paid in common stock of the Company, in lieu of cash payment, and is recognized as a liability plan. Share based compensation expense associated with the annual MIP was $4.3 million and $12.9 million for the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020, respectively, and $4.3 million and $12.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 17 - INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was as follows:
Three Month Periods EndedNine Month Periods Ended
Effective tax rateJune 28, 2020June 30, 2019June 28, 2020June 30, 2019
SBH28.0 %225.8 %46.4 %(20.3)%
SB/RH30.3 %236.5 %285.4 %(131.4)%
The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to U.S. tax, including the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), net operating losses outside the U.S. that are not more likely than not to result in a tax benefit, certain nondeductible expenses, and foreign rates that differ from the US federal statutory rate. The Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, which do not allow it to take advantage of the foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) deduction. The Company’s federal effective tax rate on GILTI is therefore 21%. During the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020, the Company recorded a $5.2 million tax benefit related to U.S. return to provision differences, primarily from changes in estimates of GILTI, which is recorded as a period cost. During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company also recognized a $5.3 million tax benefit from the favorable settlement for non-U.S.income tax examination for fiscal years preceding Fiscal 2019.
As of June 28, 2020, there is $2.8 million of income taxes payable on the SB/RH Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, payable to its parent company, calculated as if SB/RH were a separate taxpayer.
On July 20, 2020, the US Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued Final Regulations under Internal Revenue Code Section 951A relating to the treatment of income that is subject to a high rate of tax under the GILTI regime. The Regulations are effective for Fiscal 2021, but the Company can elect to apply them to Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2020. The Company is in the process of reviewing and estimating the impact of the Regulations, but there is a reasonable possibility that application of the Regulations could have a material effect on the Company’s Fiscal 2020 income tax expense. The Company expects to record the impacts to Fiscal 2020 during the fourth quarter.
NOTE 18 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Energizer Holdings, Inc.
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 back office administrative functions including finance, sales and marketing, information technology, human resources, real estate and supply chain, customer service and procurement; to support both the transferred GBL operations and the continuing operations of Spectrum, respectively, within the various regions in which they operate. Charges associated with TSAs and reverse TSAs are recognized as bundled service costs under a fixed fee structure by the respective service or function and geographic location and one-time pass-through charges, including warehousing, freight, among others, to and from Energizer that settle on a net basis between the two parties. The TSAs and reverse TSAs were further expanded to incorporate the activity and operations attributable to the close of the GAC divestiture. Charges to Energizer for TSA services are recognized as a reduction of the respective operating costs incurred by Spectrum and recognized as a component of operating expense or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by Spectrum. Charges from Energizer for reverse TSA services are recognized as operating expenses or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by Energizer. The TSAs and reverse TSAs have an overall expected time period of 12 months following the close of the transaction with some variability in expiration dependent upon the completed transition of the respective service or function and its geographic location and provide up to 12 additional months for a total duration of up to 24 months. Effective January 2, 2020, Energizer closed its divestiture of the European based Varta® consumer battery business in the EMEA region 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.
During the three month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company recognized net loss of $1.6 million, consisting of TSA charges of $2.1 million and reverse TSA costs of $3.7 million. During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company recognized net loss of $1.6 million, consisting of TSA charges of $8.6 million and reverse TSA costs of $10.2 million. During the three month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized net income of $1.4 million, consisting of TSA charges of $6.3 million and reverse TSA costs of $4.8 million. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized net income of $4.0 million, consisting of TSA charges of $12.9 million and reverse TSA costs of $8.9 million.
In addition to the TSAs and reverse TSAs, the Company, Energizer and Varta AG will receive cash and/or make payments on behalf of the respective counterparty’s operations as part of the shared administrative functions, resulting in cash flow being commingled with the operating cash flow of the Company. The Company recognizes a net payable or receivable with Energizer and Varta AG for any outstanding TSA and reverse TSA related services and net working capital attributable to commingled cash flow. As of June 28, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had net receivable of $6.8 million and net receivable of $12.8 million, respectively, with Energizer included in Other Receivables on the Company’s Condensed Statement of Financial Position. As of June 28, 2020, the Company had net receivable of $5.5 million with Varta AG included in Other Receivables on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The Company’s H&G segment continues to manufacture certain GAC related products at its facilities and sell the products to Energizer as a third-party supplier on an ongoing basis, at inventory cost plus contracted markup, as agreed upon in the supply agreement. The supply agreement has a contracted term of 24 months and may be subject to early termination by either party at any time with written notice. Material and inventory on hand to support the supply agreement is recognized as inventory of the Company. During the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020, the Company recognized $2.1 million and $13.0 million, respectively, of revenue attributable to the Energizer supply agreement as a component of H&G revenue after completion of the GAC divestiture. During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $4.6 million and $8.3 million of revenue attributable to the Energizer supply agreement, respectively. As of June 28, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding receivable of $1.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, from Energizer in Trade Receivables, Net on the Company’s Condensed Statement of Financial Position associated with the H&G supply agreement.
As a condition to the consummation of the GAC acquisition and receipt of 5.3 million shares of Energizer common stock as consideration, the Company entered into the Energizer Shareholder Agreement which contains a 24-month standstill provision that prohibits the Company from engaging in certain transactions

involving Energizer to control or influence management, board of directors or policies of Energizer. Additionally, for a period of 18 months following the closing of the GAC acquisition, the Company is required to vote in favor of Energizer’s board of director nominees and in accordance with the Energizer board’s recommendations on all other matters at any meeting of Energizer’s shareholders. Additionally, pursuant to the Energizer Shareholder Agreement, the Company has agreed not to transfer any of its Shares or other equity securities in Energizer, or engage in certain hedging transactions from the closing of the GAC acquisition until the day that is twelve months after the GAC closing date and, following such period, subject to certain limitations, not to transfer any such Energizer shares or other equity securities to any person or entity who would thereafter beneficially own more than 4.9% of Energizer’s outstanding shares of equity securities after giving effect to such transaction. Following the 18 month anniversary of the closing of the GAC acquisition, Energizer will have the right to repurchase any or all of the shares held by the Company for a purchase price per share equal to the greater of the volume-weighted average sales price per share for the ten consecutive trading days beginning on the 12th trading day immediately preceding notice of the repurchase from Energizer and 100% of the volume-weighted average sale price per share of the common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the GAC agreement. The Company’s investment in Energizer common stock is recognized at its fair value in Investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, with any unrealized gains or losses attributable to changes in the market price and dividend income received from Energizer being recognized as Other Non-Operating Income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 13 – Fair value of Financial Instruments for additional discussion on the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock.
NOTE 19 - 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 August 16, 2019, a state court class action complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Dane County, Wisconsin against the Company and certain of the Company's current and former directors and officers. The complaint alleged that certain financial statements contained misstatements in violation of the Securities Act of 1933. During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company recognized an estimated cost of $1.1 million for a proposed settlement, net third party insurance coverage and payment, which has been paid and is being held in escrow pending a final approval by the Circuit Court of Dane County.
Separately, on July 12, 2019, an amended consolidated class action complaint filed earlier in 2018 was filed in the United State District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin 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 by making misrepresentations and omissions in Spectrum Legacy’s financial statements. The amended complaint added HRG Group, Inc. (“HRG”) 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. Subsequent to June 28, 2020, the Company has reached a tentative settlement with all parties. There is no incremental loss recognized as a result of the tentative settlement, net third party insurance coverage and payment. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any other matters related to this complaint will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition.
Environmental. The Company has provided for an estimated cost of $11.7 million and $12.2 million, as of June 28, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, associated with environmental remediation activities at some of its current and former manufacturing sites, included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Condensed 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 June 28, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $6.1 million and $5.9 million in product liability, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed 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 $7.2 million of warranty accruals as of June 28, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

NOTE 20 - SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)
The Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary operating metric in evaluating the business and making operating decisions. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes:
•Stock based and other incentive compensation costs that consist of costs associated with long-term compensation arrangements and other equity based compensation based upon achievement of long-term performance metrics; and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the year ending September 30, 2019, the Company issued certain incentive bridge awards due to changes in the Company’s long-term compensation plans that allow for cash based payment upon employee election which have been included in the adjustment but do not qualify for shared-based compensation. See Note 16 - Share Based Compensation for further discussion;
•Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives across the segments. See Note 4 - Restructuring and Related Charges for further details;
•Transaction related charges that consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of TSAs. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation & Significant Accounting Policies for additional details;
•Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock, acquired as part of consideration received from the Company’s sale and divestiture of GAC. See Note 2 – Divestitures and Note 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further discussion;
•Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable);
•Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);
•Foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans for the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company and the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestures during the year ended September 30, 2019. The Company has entered into various hedging arrangements to mitigate the volatility of foreign exchange risk associated with such loans;
•Legal and litigation costs associated with Salus during the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company, but continue to be consolidated by the Company until the Salus operations can be wholly dissolved and/or deconsolidated;
•Gain on extinguishment of the Salus CLO debt due to the discharge of the obligation during the three month period ended June 28, 2020. See Note 10 - Debt for further details; and
•Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at Company facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin during the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019; (2) incremental costs for separation of a key executive during the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019; (3) incremental costs associated with a safety recall in GPC during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019; (4) operating margin on H&G sales to GAC discontinued operations during the three and nine month period ended June 30, 2019; and (5) certain fines and penalties for delayed shipments following the completion of a GPC distribution center consolidation in EMEA during the nine month period ended June 30, 2019.

COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting regulations and other disruptions to both demand and supply may have a substantial impact on the commercial operations of the Company or impairment of the Company’s net assets. Such impacts may include, but are not limited to, volatility of demand for our products, disruptions and cost implications in manufacturing and supply arrangements, inability of third parties to meet obligations under existing arrangements, and significant changes to the political and economic environments in which we manufacture, sell, and distribute our products.
As of the date of this report, we continue to be classified as an essential business in the jurisdictions that have mandated closures of non-essential businesses, and therefore have been allowed to remain open. During the second quarter ended March 29, 2020, there were certain HHI operating facilities, primarily within China and Philippines, that experienced a temporary limit on production in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, but such facilities were operating at or near full capacity by the end of the second quarter. Subsequently, during the third quarter ended June 28, 2020, additional governmental operating restrictions were announced in Mexico temporarily suspending or limiting production for our HHI operating facilities with facilities operating and ramping up productions by the end of the third quarter. Moreover, our H&G facility in St. Louis was temporarily closed in April 2020 to provide for additional cleaning and implementation of preventative measures in response to confirmed cases of COVID-19. These facilities continue to operate to the extent possible under existing regulations with any limitation in production output being short-term in nature.
Despite the supply implications, the Company continues to experience continued customer demand both during the three month period ended June 28, 2020 and during the subsequent period. While demand in general for our products remains strong, our teams continue to monitor demand disruption and there can be no assurance as to the level of demand that will prevail through the remainder of fiscal 2020. A large portion of our customers continue to operate and sell our products, with some customers reducing operations due to closures or reduced store hours. There have also been changes in consumer needs and spending during the COVID-19 pandemic, which have resulted in a limited number of change orders and reduced spending. Currently, we have not identified, and will continue to monitor for, any substantive risk attributable to customer credit and have not experienced a significant impact from permanent store closures or retail bankruptcies. We believe the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic to be uncertain and may contribute to retail volatility and consumer purchase behavior changes. The magnitude of the financial impact on our quarterly and annual results is highly dependent on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and how quickly the U.S. and global economies resume normal operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a materially negative impact on the Company’s liquidity position. The sweeping nature of COVID-19 pandemic makes it extremely difficult to predict the long-term ramifications on our financial condition and results of operations. However, the likely overall economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is viewed as highly negative to the U.S. and global economies. We have initiated mitigating efforts to manage non-critical capital spending, assess operating spend, preserve cash and liquidity.  We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs, and we expect to maintain access to the capital markets, although there can be no assurance of our ability to do so. We have also not observed any material impairments of our assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We expect the ultimate significance of the impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be dictated by the length of time that such circumstances continue, which will ultimately depend on the unforeseeable duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and any governmental and public actions taken in response.
Divestitures
•Global Batteries & Lights – 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 the recognition of 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 contingent purchase price adjustment for the settlement with the divestiture of the Varta® consumer batteries business by Energizer.

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 is the Global Productivity Improvement Plan, which began during the year ended September 30, 2019. See Note 4 - Restructuring and Related Charges in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information.
Refinancing Activity
Refinancing activity has a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Effective November 15, 2019, the Company completed a tender and call of its 6.625% Senior Unsecured Notes with an outstanding principal of $117.4 million, recognizing a loss on extinguishment of the debt of $2.6 million including a non-cash charge of $1.1 million attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the debt. See Note 10 – Debt in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for more information.
Salus CLO
During the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020, the non-recourse debt under Salus CLO were effectively discharged resulting in the recognition of a non-cash gain on extinguishment of debt of $76.2 million, consisting of $77.0 million for the carrying value of the outstanding debt upon discharge, and $0.8 million for the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. See Note 10 - Debt in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for more information.
Adoption of New Lease Accounting Standard
On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective transition method, which resulted in the recognition of additional right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets of $107.5 million and additional lease liabilities of $113.0 million, with no material cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies and Note 11 – Leases in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for more information.

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 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 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 June 28, 2020 compared to net sales for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures used by management, which we believe provide useful information to investors because they reflect 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. They also facilitate 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 covenants. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes:
•Stock based and other incentive compensation costs that consist of costs associated with long-term compensation arrangements and other equity based compensation based upon achievement of long-term performance metrics; and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the year ending September 30, 2019, the Company issued certain incentive bridge awards due to changes in the Company’s long-term compensation plans that allow for cash based payment upon employee election which have been included in the adjustment but do not qualify for shared-based compensation. See Note 16 - Share Based Compensation in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for further details;
•Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with the restructuring initiatives across the Company's segments. See Note 4 - Restructuring and Related Charges in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for further details;
•Transaction related charges that consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, including development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of transition service arrangements (TSAs) and reverse TSAs. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation & Significant Accounting Policies in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for further details;
•Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock, acquired as part of consideration received from the Company’s sale and divestiture of GAC during the year ended September 30, 2019. See Note 2 – Divestitures and Note 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for further details;
•Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable);
•Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);
•Foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans for the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company and the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestitures during the year ended September 30, 2019. The Company has entered into various hedging arrangements to mitigate the volatility of foreign exchange risk associated with such loans;

The Company recognized a decrease in organic net sales of $29.8 million, or 2.9%, and an increase of $5.3 million, or 0.2% for the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020, respectively.
Gross Profit. For the three month period ended June 28, 2020, gross profit decreased $12.1 million, with a marginal increase in gross profit margin from 35.3% to 35.4% primarily due to reduced HHI sales volumes, incremental material input costs including tariffs with government mandated COVID-19 related shutdowns and unfavorable transaction foreign currency loss, offset by favorable product mix and positive productivity. For the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, gross profit decreased $25.5 million, with a decrease in gross profit margin from 34.6% to 33.9% primarily due to reduced HHI sales volumes, incremental material and input costs including tariffs with COVID-19 related shutdowns, unfavorable transaction foreign currency loss, incremental restructuring costs and accelerated depreciation expense as part of the Global Productivity Improvement Plan, offset by favorable product mix and positive productivity with retrospective tariff exclusions.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three month period ended June 28, 2020 decreased $13.9 million, or 5.2%, due to a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $7.8 million and decrease in restructuring and related charges of $7.7 million. Operating expenses for the nine month period ended June 28, 2020 increased $17.8 million, or 2.2%, due to the recognition of a loss on assets held for sale of $26.8 million associated with the Coevorden Operations divestiture, a $24.2 million write-off from impairment of intangible assets, an increase in restructuring and related charges of $8.4 million; offset by a reduction in selling and general and administrative expenses of $39.6 million primarily from incremental depreciation and amortization in the prior year associated with HPC business being de-recognized from held for sale. See Note 4 – Restructuring and Related Charges in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional detail on restructuring.

Table of Contents
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three month period ended June 28, 2020 increased $2.2 million, or 6.5%, due to higher debt balances during the period and decreased $78.6 million, or 42.5%, during the nine month period ended June 28, 2020 due to overall lower debt and average interest rate during the period. See Note 10 – Debt in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional detail.
Other non-operating expense, net. Other non-operating expense decreased $95.9 million for the three month period ended June 28, 2020 due to realized and unrealized gains on our investment in Energizer common stock during the period and decreased $54.0 million for the nine month period ended June 28, 2020 due to higher losses on our investment in Energizer common stock during the prior period and foreign currency losses in the prior year related to multicurrency loans with foreign subsidiaries associated with the GBL and GAC divestitures. See Note 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional detail.
Income Taxes. Our estimated annual effective tax rate was significantly impacted for the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 by income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to U.S. tax, including the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income, losses earned outside the U.S. that more likely than not will not result in a tax benefits, certain nondeductible expenses, and foreign rates that differ from the US federal statutory rate.
During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company recorded a $5.2 million tax benefit related to U.S. return to provision differences, primarily from changes to GILTI, which is recorded as a period cost. The Company also recognized a $5.3 million tax benefit from the favorable settlement of an income tax examination.
Income From Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations include our divestitures of GBL and GAC divisions that were sold on January 2, 2019 and January 28, 2019, respectively. Results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2020, the Company recognized incremental income for changes to tax and legal indemnifications and other agreed-upon funding under the acquisition agreement. During the three month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company recognized an $8.8 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.
Noncontrolling Interest. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interest reflects the share of the net income of our subsidiaries, which are not wholly-owned, attributable to the accounting interest. Such amount varies in relation to such subsidiary’s net income or loss for the period and the percentage interest not owned by SBH.

Financing activities
$(237.1) $(2,767.0) $(25.5) $(2,739.8) 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from SBH continuing operations increased $221.5 million primarily due to:
•Increase in cash provided by continuing operations of $170.7 million, including increase in cash generated from working capital of $163.0 million primarily from lower average inventory and receivable balances;
•Decrease in cash paid for interest of $80.0 million;
•Decrease in cash paid for taxes of $9.2 million; offset by
•Increase in net corporate expenditures of $4.4 million;
•Increase in cash paid for restructuring and integration related charges of $34.0 million.
Cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations of SB/RH decreased $3.6 million primarily due to the items discussed above except for an incremental operating cash outflow to its parent company for federal net operating losses under the Company’s tax sharing agreement.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the Company was $113.1 million and $138.4 million for the nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 respectively. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily attributable to the cumulative adjustment to depreciation and amortization from the change in plan to sell the HPC division in the prior year.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities for SBH continuing operations decreased $2,770.6 million primarily due to net proceeds of $2,854.4 million from the sale of the GBL and GAC businesses in the prior year, plus cash paid for Omega acquisition of $16.9 million; partially offset by $68.0 million in proceeds for the sale of shares of Energizer common stock sold during the current period and $30.1 in proceeds for the sale of the Coevorden Operations.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the Company were $44.5 million and $40.3 million for the nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. We expect to make incremental investments in capital projects as part of our Global Productivity Improvement Plan.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities for continuing operations increased $2,529.9 million for the nine month period ended June 28, 2020 primarily due to the paydown of debt in the prior year partially offset by proceeds withdrawn from the Revolver in the current period.
Debt
During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, SBH recognized net proceeds from the Revolver Facility of $528.0 million primarily to support working capital needs, and made $132.7 million payment on debts for the outstanding balance of 6.625% Notes of $117.4 million with premium of early extinguishment of $1.3 million, and other debt payments of $14.0 million. As of June 28, 2020, the Company had borrowing availability of $341.3 million, net of outstanding letters of credit.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on June 30, 2020, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which refinanced the Company’s previously existing credit facility, reducing the revolving facility under the Credit Agreement from $890 million to $600 million and extending the Credit Agreement's maturity date to June 30, 2025. Moreover, SBI issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount 5.50% Notes. The proceeds from the issuance and sale of the 5.50% Notes were used for repayment of the Revolver Facility obligation.
At June 28, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 5.00% Notes, 5.75% Notes, 6.125% Notes, and 4.00% Notes.
The Company’s access to capital markets and financing costs may depend on the Company’s credit ratings. On March 26, 2020, S&P downgraded the Company’s corporate credit rating to ‘B’ from ‘B+’, senior secured debt ratings to ‘BB-‘ from ‘BB’ and senior unsecured debt to ‘B’ from ‘B+’ , with a negative outlook in response to the changing economic environment and risks attributable to COVID-19. 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
There has been no issuance of common stock, other than through the Company’s share-based compensation plans, during the nine month periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, SBH made cash dividend payments of $57.2 million and $65.1 million, or $0.42 per share, respectively.
During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company paid $364.8 million for the repurchase of common stock, consisting of 6.2 million treasury shares received, including $125.0 million through an accelerated share repurchase arrangement that was settled February 24, 2020. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company paid $268.5 million for the repurchase of common stock, consisting of 4.9 million treasury shares received. See Note 15 – Shareholders’ Equity included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion.
Liquidity and capital resources of SB/RH are highly dependent upon the financing cash flow activities of SBH.
Liquidity Outlook
The Company’s ability to make principal and interest payment on borrowings under its debt agreements 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.
Because the COVID-19 pandemic has not, as of the date of this report, materially impacted our operations or demand for our products, it has not had a materially negative impact on the Company’s liquidity position.  We have initiated mitigating efforts to manage non-critical capital spending, assess operating spend, preserve cash and improve liquidity.  Additionally we temporarily suspended treasury repurchase activity. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs, and we expect to maintain access to the capital markets, although there can be no assurance of our ability to do so.  However, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which, depending on future developments, could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future. Subsequent to June 28, 2020, we successfully refinanced the previously existing credit facility extending the maturity to June 30, 2025 and issued $300.0 million of 5.50% Senior Notes, due July 15, 2030.
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.
Contractual Obligations & Other Commercial Commitments
As noted in Note 2 – Divestitures included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, the Company settled its outstanding balance for the Varta indemnification payable with Energizer for $197.0 million during the nine month ended June 28, 2020. Additionally, the Company repaid certain of its long-term indebtedness during the nine month ended June 28, 2020, as described under Note 10 - Debt. There has otherwise been no material changes to our contractual obligations & other commercial commitments as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019.

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 other than the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which provides for a single comprehensive model for entities to use to account for leases. Refer to Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for information about the adoption of Topic 842.
During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company measured the fair value of its GPC reporting unit goodwill following the recognition of the Coevorden Operations as held for sale. The Company allocated $10.6 million of GPC goodwill to the Coevorden Operations disposal group recognized as held for sale based upon a fair value allocation. The estimated fair value represents the amount at which a reporting unit could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties on an arms-length basis. In estimating the fair value of the GPC reporting unit, we used 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 variable. The fair value of the remaining GPC reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 17% and did not recognize an impairment. The GPC reporting unit goodwill of $430.1 million as of June 28, 2020 is still deemed ‘at risk’ of impairment. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in additional future impairment charges for the GPC reporting unit goodwill, and potentially other reporting unit goodwill not considered ‘at risk’. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the three month period ended June 28, 2020, a prolonged pandemic could negatively impact the results of operations, net sales and earnings growth rates, changes in key assumptions and other global and regional macroeconomic factors.
Additionally, the Company assessed the indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite lived intangible assets associated with the continuing commercial DCF business following recognition of the Coevorden Operations as held for sale. For indefinite-lived assets, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the identified trade names to the carrying value to determine if potential impairment exists. If the fair value is less than its 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. During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, the Company recognized $16.6 million impairment on indefinite lived intangible assets due to the reduced value of the associated tradenames, leaving no excess fair value as of the measurement date or risk of future impairment. For the remaining tradenames associated with the DCF business, there were $3.3 million of indefinite lived intangible assets that could be deemed at risk of future impairment due to the limited excess fair value. For definite lived intangible assets, the Company recognized $7.6 million impairment due to the incremental cash flow risk associated with the commercial DCF business following the planned divestiture of the Coevorden Operations, which consisted of the remaining carrying cost of the definite lived intangible assets associated with the commercial DCF business. While a triggering event did not occur during the three month period ended June 28, 2020, a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact net sales growth rate, change in key assumptions and other global and regional macroeconomic factors that could result in additional future impairment charges for indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Other than those discussed above, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019.

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, SBH’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 SBH’s management, including SBH’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the nine month period ended June 28, 2020, SBH began updating certain internal controls and supporting processes and systems related to leases in connection with our adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), further discussed in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, which will continue during the year of adoption for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020. Other than those described above, there were no additional changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine month period ended June 28, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. SBH’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that SBH’s disclosure controls and procedures or SBH’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 SBH have been detected.

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, SB/RH’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 SB/RH’s management, including SB/RH’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Litigation
We are a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising in the ordinary course of business. See risk factors below and Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Based on information currently available, 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, 2019 filed with the SEC on November 15, 2019. We believe that at June 28, 2020, with the exception of changes in the risk factors discussed below, there are no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious emerging threat to the health and economic well being affecting our customers, employees, sources of supply and our financial condition and results of operations.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that COVID-19 has become a pandemic and a National Emergency relating to COVID-19 was announced in the U.S.. There is a possibility of widespread infection in the U.S. and abroad, with the potential for substantial commercial impact. National, state, and local authorities have recommended social distancing and imposed, or are considering imposing, quarantine and isolation measures, on large portions of the population, including mandatory business closures. These measures are expected to have serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts, including potential government payments to affected citizens and industries, is uncertain.

The sweeping nature of COVID-19 makes it extremely difficult to predict the long-term ramifications on our financial condition and results of operations. However, the likely overall economic impact of COVID-19 is viewed as highly negative to the general economy. These impacts may include, but are not limited to:

•significant reductions in, or volatility of, demand for our products, which may be caused by the inability of consumers to purchase our products due to illness, quarantine, travel restrictions, store closures, general financial hardship or changes in consumer spending habits;
•inability to meet customers’ needs or achieve cost targets due to disruptions in our manufacturing and supply arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential manufacturing or availability of key product components, transportation, workforce, or other manufacturing and distribution capability;
•failure of third parties on which we rely, including our suppliers, contract manufacturers, distributors, contractors, commercial banks, and other business partners, to meet their obligations to us, or significant disruptions in their ability to do so, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties and may adversely impact our operations;
•significant change in the political conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell or distribute our products, including governmental or regulatory actions such as quarantines, closures or other restrictions, that limit or close our operating and manufacturing facilities, restrict our employees’ ability to travel or perform necessary business functions, or otherwise prevent our third-party partners, suppliers, or customers from sufficiently staffing operations, including operations necessary for the production, distribution, sale and support of our products, which could adversely impact our results or impairment of the Company’s net assets;
•disruptions and stress in capital markets that could impact the cost and availability of capital for us and for our customers, suppliers and other business partners; or
•quarantines, stay-at-home orders and other limitations can disrupt our product development, branding, research and administrative functions, regardless of whether we are actually forced to close our own facilities and similar disruptions that may also effect other organizations and persons that we collaborate with or whose services we are dependent on; or
•the need for our employees and business partners to work remotely in these circumstances also creates greater potential for risks related to cybersecurity, confidentiality and data privacy.

As of the date of this report, we have been classified as an essential business in the jurisdictions that have mandated closure of non-essential businesses, and therefore have generally been allowed to remain open. However, we can give no assurance that this will not change in the future. Despite our efforts to manage and remedy the impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition and results of operations, the ultimate impact also depends on factors beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. Additionally, as the COVID-19 pandemic conditions wane, we cannot predict how quickly the marketplaces in which we operate will return to normal. Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that are not currently foreseeable, could materially increase our costs, negatively impact our sales and damage our results of operations and liquidity position. The duration of any such impacts cannot be predicted. See further discussion in Item 2 - Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Reliance on third-party relationships and outsourcing arrangements could adversely affect our business.

We rely on third parties, including suppliers, distributors, alliances with other companies, and third-party service providers, for selected aspects of product development, manufacture, commercialization, support for information technology systems, product distribution, and certain financial transactional processes. Additionally, we have outsourced certain functions to third-party service providers to leverage leading specialized capabilities and achieve cost efficiencies. Outsourcing these functions involves the risk that third-party service providers may not perform to our standards or legal requirements, may not produce reliable results, may not perform in a timely manner, may not maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information, or may fail to perform at all. Additionally, any disruption, such as a government shutdown, war, natural disaster or global pandemic (including the current COVID-19 pandemic), could affect the ability of our third-party service providers to meet their contractual obligations to us. Failure of these third parties to meet their contractual, regulatory, confidentiality or other obligations to us could result in material financial loss, higher costs, regulatory actions, and reputational harm.

Uncertain global economic conditions may adversely impact demand for our products or cause our customers and other business partners to suffer financial hardship, which could adversely impact our business.

Our business could be negatively impacted by reduced demand for our products related to one or more significant local, regional or global economic disruptions, the risk of which are aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as: a slow-down in the general economy; reduced market growth rates; tighter credit markets for our suppliers, vendors or customers; a significant shift in government policies; the deterioration of economic relations between countries or regions, including potential negative consumer sentiment toward non-local products or sources; or the inability to conduct day-to-day transactions through our financial intermediaries to pay funds to, or collect funds from, our customers, vendors and suppliers. Additionally, economic conditions may cause our suppliers, distributors, contractors or other third-party partners to suffer financial difficulties that they cannot overcome, resulting in their inability to provide us with the materials and services we need, in which case our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Customers may also suffer financial hardships due to economic conditions such that their accounts become uncollectible or are subject to longer collection cycles. In addition, if we are unable to generate sufficient income and cash flow, it could affect the Company’s ability to achieve expected share repurchase and dividend payments.

Disruption in our global supply chain may negatively impact our business results.

Our ability to meet our customers’ needs and achieve cost targets depends on our ability to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including execution of supply chain optimizations and certain sole supplier or sole manufacturing plant arrangements. The loss or disruption of such manufacturing and supply arrangements, including for issues such as labor disputes, loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites, discontinuity in our internal information and data systems, inability to procure sufficient raw or input materials, significant changes in trade policy, natural disasters, increasing severity or frequency of extreme weather events due to climate change or otherwise, acts of war or terrorism, the COVID-19 pandemic or other disease outbreaks or other external factors over which we have no control, have interrupted product supply and, if not effectively managed and remedied, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Certain provisions of our charter, bylaws, and of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) have anti-takeover effects and could delay, discourage, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in the stockholder’s best interests.

Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws and the DGCL may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control if our board of directors determines that such changes in control are not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Such provisions include, among other things, those that:

•provide for a classified board of directors with staggered three-year terms;
•authorize the board of directors to issue preferred shares and to determine the terms, including the number of shares, voting powers, redemption provisions, dividend rates, liquidation preferences and conversion rights, of those shares, without stockholder approval;
•permit the removal of directors by the stockholders only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock;
•opt in to Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with any interested stockholder (generally speaking a stockholder who holds 15% or more of our voting stock) for three years from the date such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder unless certain conditions are met; and
•subject to certain exceptions, prohibit any person from acquiring shares of our common stock if such person is, or would become as a result of the acquisition, a “Substantial Holder” (as defined in our charter).

These provisions may frustrate or prevent attempts by stockholders to cause a change in control of the Company or to replace members of its board of directors.

Item 1B. Other Information
On April 30, 2020, the Company announced that it is withdrawing the guidance it released with respect to its fiscal 2020 and the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the lack of business visibility into the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reason for the withdrawal of guidance included demand volatility and unpredictability in supply chain disruptions. The Company expects to provide an annual outlook when business conditions return to a more normal environment.
