NOTES TO (UNAUDITED) CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 27, 2020

A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as “generally accepted accounting principles”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019, and subsequent related filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

In February 2020, the Company acquired Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing, LLC (“CAM”), an industry-leading manufacturer of specialty fasteners and components for the aerospace and defense markets. The acquisition further diversifies the Company's presence in the industrial markets and expands its portfolio of specialty fasteners in the aerospace and defense markets. The CAM acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and the results subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Company's Industrial segment. In March 2019, the Company acquired International Equipment Solutions Attachments businesses, Paladin and Pengo, ("IES Attachments"), manufacturers of high quality, performance-driven heavy equipment attachment tools for off-highway applications. The IES Attachments acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and the results subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Company's Industrial segment.

In May 2019, the Company sold its Sargent & Greenleaf mechanical locks business within the Security segment. The results of this business have been reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements through the date of sale in 2019.

In January 2019, the Company acquired a 20 percent interest in MTD Holdings Inc. ("MTD"), a privately held global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment. MTD manufactures and distributes gas-powered lawn tractors, zero turn mowers, walk behind mowers, snow throwers, trimmers, chain saws, utility vehicles and other outdoor power equipment. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has the option to acquire the remaining 80 percent of MTD beginning on July 1, 2021 and ending on January 2, 2029. In the event the option is exercised, the companies have agreed to a valuation multiple based on MTD’s 2018 Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), with an equitable sharing arrangement for future EBITDA growth. The Company is applying the equity method of accounting to the MTD investment.

Refer to Note F, Acquisitions and Investments, and Note T, Divestitures, for further discussion of these transactions.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain amounts reported in the previous year have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation.

Accounts And Notes Receivable, Net

Trade receivables are stated at gross invoice amounts less discounts, other allowances and provisions for credit losses. Financing receivables are initially recorded at fair value, less impairments or provisions for credit losses. Interest income earned from financing receivables that are not delinquent is recorded on the effective interest method.

The Company considers any financing receivable that has not been collected within 90 days of original billing date as past-due or delinquent. The Company’s payment terms are generally consistent with the industries in which its businesses operate and typically range from 30-90 days globally. Additionally, the Company considers the credit quality of all past-due or delinquent financing receivables as nonperforming. The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between transfer of the product and receipt of payment is less than one year. Any significant financing components for contracts greater than one year are included in revenue over time.

Table of Contents

Allowance For Credit Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents an estimate of expected losses over the remaining contractual life of its receivables. The allowance is determined using two methods. First, a specific reserve is established for individual accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. Second, a reserve is determined for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection rates, write-off experience, and forecasts of future economic conditions. Actual write-offs are charged against the allowance when collection efforts have been unsuccessful.

Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are employed to manage risks, including foreign currency, interest rate exposures and commodity prices and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. As part of the Company’s risk management program, a variety of financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps, purchased currency options, foreign exchange contracts and commodity contracts, may be used to mitigate interest rate exposure, foreign currency exposure and commodity price exposure. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments in the balance sheet at fair value.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized periodically either in earnings or in shareowners’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"), depending on whether the derivative financial instrument is undesignated or qualifies for hedge accounting and, if so, whether it represents a fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedge. Changes in the fair value of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in earnings in the same caption as the changes in the fair value of the hedged items. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are recorded in OCI and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the hedged items when they occur. In the event it becomes probable the forecasted transaction to which a cash flow hedge relates will not occur, the derivative would be terminated and the amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as a hedge of the net investment in foreign operations, to the extent they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are reported in OCI and are deferred until disposal of the underlying assets. Gains and losses representing components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for cash flow and fair value hedges are recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis in the same caption as the hedged item over the term of the hedge. Gains and losses representing components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for net investment hedges are recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis in Other, net over the term of the hedge.

The net interest paid or received on interest rate swaps is recognized as interest expense. Gains and losses resulting from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements are deferred and amortized as adjustments to interest expense over the remaining period of the debt originally covered by the terminated swap.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges are reported in Other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note I, Financial Instruments, for further discussion.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods or services and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). For its customer contracts, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods or services), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A good or service is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that good or service. The majority of the Company’s revenues are recorded at a point in time from the sale of tangible products.

A portion of the Company’s revenues within the Security and Infrastructure businesses is generated from equipment leased to customers. Customer arrangements are identified as leases if they include transfer of a tangible asset which is provided to the customer in exchange for payments typically at fixed rates payable monthly, quarterly or annually. Customer leases may include terms to allow for extension of leases for a short period of time, but typically do not provide for customer termination prior to the initial term. Some customer leases include terms to allow the customer to purchase the underlying asset, which occurs occasionally, and virtually no customer leases include residual value guarantee clauses. Within the Security business, the underlying asset typically has no value at termination of the customer lease, so no residual value asset is recorded in the

financial statements. For Infrastructure business leases, underlying assets are assessed for functionality at termination of the lease and, if necessary, an impairment to the leased asset value is recorded.

Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts and allowances are variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. Such provisions are calculated using historical averages adjusted for any expected changes due to current business conditions. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent that there is a distinct good or service and evidence of the fair value of the advertising, in which case the expense is classified as selling, general, and administrative expense.

The Company’s revenues can be generated from contracts with multiple performance obligations. When a sales agreement involves multiple performance obligations, each obligation is separately identified (including equipment lease obligations) and the transaction price is allocated based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the promised good or service to the customer.

Sales of security monitoring systems may have multiple performance obligations, including equipment, installation and monitoring or maintenance services. In most instances, the Company allocates the appropriate amount of consideration to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling price ("SSP") of the distinct goods or services performance obligation. In circumstances where SSP is not observable, the Company allocates the consideration for the performance obligations by utilizing one of the following methods: expected cost plus margin, the residual approach, or a mix of these estimation methods.

For performance obligations that the Company satisfies over time, revenue is recognized by consistently applying a method of measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The Company utilizes the method that most accurately depicts the progress toward completion of the performance obligation.

The Company’s contract sales for the installation of security intruder systems and other construction-related projects are generally recorded under the input method. The input method recognizes revenue on the basis of the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total inputs expected to satisfy that performance obligation. Revenue recognized on security contracts in process are based upon the allocated contract price and related total inputs of the project at completion. The extent of progress toward completion is generally measured using input methods based on labor metrics. Revisions to these estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits each period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they become determinable. The revenues for monitoring and monitoring-related services are recognized as services are rendered over the contractual period.

The Company utilizes the output method for contract sales in the Oil & Gas product line. The output method recognizes revenue based on direct measurements of the customer value of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract. The output method includes methods such as surveys of performance completed to date, appraisals of results achieved, milestones reached, time elapsed, and units produced or units delivered.

Contract assets or liabilities result from transactions with revenue recorded over time. If the measure of remaining rights exceeds the measure of the remaining performance obligations, the Company records a contract asset. Conversely, if the measure of the remaining performance obligations exceeds the measure of the remaining rights, the Company records a contract liability.

Incremental costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract with a customer that are expected to be recovered are recognized and classified in Other current assets or Other assets, as appropriate, in the consolidated balance sheet and are typically amortized over the contract period. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract as expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less.

Customer billings for services not yet rendered are deferred and recognized as revenue as the services are rendered. The associated deferred revenue is included in Accrued expenses or Other liabilities, as appropriate, in the consolidated balance sheet.

B. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED — In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for

Table of Contents

Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The standard modifies disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). The new standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and will apply prospectively to annual or interim goodwill impairment tests.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new standard amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including accounts and notes receivable. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and recognized a $3.8 million cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings related to the Company's allowance for credit losses on accounts and notes receivable. Refer to Note D, Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net, for further discussion.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED — In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The new standard provides optional expedients and exceptions that companies can apply during a limited time period to account for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Companies may elect to apply the new guidance beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The new standard clarifies the interaction of accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method. The new standard also clarifies the accounting for measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The new standard also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20). The standard modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2019, the Company issued 7,500,000 Equity Units with a total notional value of $750.0 million. Each unit initially consists of 750,000 shares of convertible preferred stock ("Series D Preferred Stock") and forward stock purchase contracts. On and after November 15, 2022, the Series D Preferred Stock may be converted into common stock at the option of the holder. At the election of the Company, upon conversion, the Company may deliver cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. The conversion rate was initially 5.2263 shares of common stock per one share of Series D Preferred Stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $191.34 per share of common stock. As of June 27, 2020, the conversion rate remained 5.2263, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $191.34 per share of common stock. The Series D Preferred Stock is excluded from the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation on the basis that the convertible preferred stock will be settled in cash except to the extent that the conversion value of the convertible preferred stock exceeds its liquidation preference. Therefore, before any redemption or conversion, the common shares that would be required to settle the applicable conversion value in excess of the liquidation preference, if the Company elects to settle such excess in common shares, are included in the denominator of diluted earnings per share in periods in which they are dilutive. The shares related to the Series D Preferred Stock were anti-dilutive during the first six months of 2020.

In May 2017, the Company issued 7,500,000 Equity Units with a total notional value of $750.0 million. Each unit initially consisted of 750,000 shares of convertible preferred stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") and forward stock purchase contracts. In May 2020, the Company successfully remarketed the Series C Preferred Stock, as described more fully in Note J, Equity Arrangements. The remarketing generated cash proceeds of $750.0 million which were applied to settle the holders' stock purchase contract obligations, resulting in the Company issuing 5,463,750 common shares. Holders of the remarketed Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, if declared by the Board of Directors, at an initial fixed rate equal to 5.0% per annum of the $1,000 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $50.00 per annum per share). In addition, holders have the option to convert the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. At the election of the Company, upon conversion, the Company may deliver cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. In connection with the remarketing described above, the conversion rate was reset to 6.7352 shares of the Company's common stock per one share of Series C Preferred Stock, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $148.47 per share of common stock. As of June 27, 2020, due to customary anti-dilution provisions, the conversion rate was 6.7411, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $148.34 per share of common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is excluded from the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation on the basis that the convertible preferred stock will be settled in cash except to the extent that the conversion value of the convertible preferred stock exceeds its liquidation preference. Therefore, before any redemption or conversion, the common shares that would be required to settle the applicable conversion value in excess of the liquidation preference, if the Company elects to settle such excess in common shares, are included in the denominator of diluted earnings

The Company has an accounts receivable sale program. According to the terms, the Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivables at fair value to a wholly owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary (“BRS"). The BRS, in turn, can sell such receivables to a third-party financial institution (“Purchaser”) for cash. The Purchaser’s maximum cash investment in the receivables at any time is $110.0 million. The purpose of the program is to provide liquidity to the Company. These transfers qualify as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and receivables are derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet when the BRS sells those receivables to the Purchaser. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities. At June 27, 2020, the Company did not record a servicing asset or liability related to its retained responsibility based on its assessment of the servicing fee, market values for similar transactions and its cost of servicing the receivables sold.

At June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, approximately $25.6 million and $100.0 million of net receivables were derecognized, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, proceeds from transfers of receivables to the Purchaser totaled $28.9 million and $78.0 million, respectively, and payments to the Purchaser during these periods totaled $58.3 million and $152.4 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, proceeds from transfers of receivables to the Purchaser totaled $129.0 million and $222.5 million, respectively, and payments to the Purchaser totaled $75.9 million and $243.6 million, respectively. The program resulted in a pre-tax loss of $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, which included service fees of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The program resulted in a pre-tax loss of $0.6 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively, which included service fees of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. All cash flows under the program are reported as a component of changes in working capital within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows since all the cash from the Purchaser is received upon the initial sale of the receivable.

As of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company's deferred revenue totaled $205.7 million and $209.8 million, respectively, of which $110.4 million and $108.9 million, respectively, was classified as current within Accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenue recognized for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 that was previously deferred as of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 totaled $70.8 million and $65.9 million, respectively.

As of June 27, 2020, approximately $1.108 billion of revenue from long-term contracts primarily in the Security segment was unearned related to customer contracts which were not completely fulfilled and will be recognized on a decelerating basis over the next five years. This amount excludes any of the Company's contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

E. INVENTORIES

The components of Inventories, net at June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019 are as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	June 27, 2020		December 28, 2019

As part of the CAM acquisition in the first quarter of 2020, the Company acquired net inventory with an estimated fair value of $127.6 million. Refer to Note F, Acquisitions and Investments, for further discussion of the CAM acquisition.

F. ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS

2020 ACQUISITION

Table of Contents

CAM

On February 24, 2020, the Company acquired CAM for a total estimated purchase price of approximately $1.46 billion, net of cash acquired. The estimated purchase price consists of an initial cash payment of approximately $1.30 billion, net of cash acquired, and future payments up to $200.0 million contingent on The Boeing Company ("Boeing") 737 MAX Airplanes receiving Federal Aviation Administration authorization to return to service and Boeing achieving certain production levels, which were valued at $155.3 million as of the acquisition date. Refer to Note M, Fair Value Measurements, for additional details.

CAM is an industry-leading manufacturer of specialty fasteners and components for the aerospace and defense markets. The acquisition further diversifies the Company's presence in the industrial markets and expands its portfolio of specialty fasteners in the aerospace and defense markets. The results of CAM subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Company's Industrial segment.

The CAM acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the estimated acquisition date value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed:


(Millions of Dollars)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	35.9
Accounts receivable, net	48.6
Inventories, net	127.6
Prepaid expenses and other assets	2.7
Property, plant and equipment	132.6
Trade names	25.0
Customer relationships	565.0
Accounts payable	(26.3)
Accrued expenses	(20.9)
Deferred taxes	(19.4)
Other liabilities	(0.6)
Total identifiable net assets	$	870.2
Goodwill	621.5
Contingent consideration	(155.3)
Total consideration paid	$	1,336.4

The weighted-average useful life assigned to the intangible assets is 20 years.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected cost synergies of the combined business and assembled workforce. It is estimated that $619.5 million of goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

The acquisition accounting for CAM is preliminary in certain respects. During the measurement period, the Company expects to record adjustments relating to the finalization of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment valuations, working capital accounts, leases, opening balance sheet contingencies, and various income tax matters, amongst others.

A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company’s judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company’s results from operations. The Company will complete its acquisition accounting as soon as reasonably possible within the measurement period.

2019 ACQUISITIONS

IES Attachments

Table of Contents

On March 8, 2019, the Company acquired IES Attachments for $653.5 million, net of cash acquired. IES Attachments is a manufacturer of high quality, performance-driven heavy equipment attachment tools for off-highway applications. The acquisition further diversifies the Company's presence in the industrial markets, expands its portfolio of attachment solutions and provides a meaningful platform for growth. The results of IES Attachments subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Company's Industrial segment.

The IES Attachments acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimated acquisition date value of identifiable net assets acquired, which includes $77.8 million of working capital (primarily inventory), $78.3 million of deferred tax liabilities, and $328.0 million of intangible assets, was $342.2 million. The related goodwill was $311.3 million. The amount allocated to intangible assets included $304.0 million for customer relationships. The weighted-average useful life assigned to the intangible assets was 14 years.

Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected cost synergies of the combined business and assembled workforce. It is estimated that $2.4 million of goodwill, relating to the pre-acquisition historical tax basis of goodwill, will be deductible for tax purposes.

The acquisition accounting for IES Attachments is complete. The measurement period adjustments recorded in 2020 did not have a material impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other 2019 Acquisitions

During 2019, the Company completed five smaller acquisitions for $40.8 million, net of cash acquired. The estimated acquisition date value of the identifiable net assets acquired, which includes $5.9 million of working capital and $8.8 million of customer relationships, is $19.0 million. The related goodwill is $21.8 million. The useful life assigned to the customer relationships range from 8 to 10 years. The results of these acquisitions subsequent to the dates of acquisition are included in the Company's Industrial and Security segments. The acquisition accounting for these acquisitions is substantially complete with the exception of certain minor items and will be completed within the measurement period.

ACTUAL AND PRO-FORMA IMPACT OF THE ACQUISITIONS

Actual Impact from Acquisition

The net sales and net loss from the 2020 acquisition included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 are shown in the table below.

2020 Pro-forma Results

The 2020 pro-forma results were calculated by combining the results of Stanley Black & Decker with the stand-alone results of the 2020 acquisition for its respective pre-acquisition period. Accordingly, the following adjustments were made:

•Elimination of the historical pre-acquisition intangible asset amortization expense and the addition of intangible asset amortization expense related to intangibles valued as part of the acquisition accounting that would have been incurred from December 29, 2019 to the acquisition date.

•Additional depreciation expense for the property, plant, and equipment fair value adjustments that would have been incurred from December 29, 2019 to the acquisition date.

•Because the 2020 acquisition was assumed to occur on December 30, 2018, there were no acquisition-related costs or inventory step-up charges factored into the 2020 pro-forma period, as such expenses would have occurred in the first year following the assumed acquisition date.

2019 Pro-forma Results

The 2019 pro-forma results were calculated by combining the results of Stanley Black & Decker with the stand-alone results of the 2019 and 2020 acquisitions for their respective pre-acquisition periods. Accordingly, the following adjustments were made:

•Additional depreciation expense for the property, plant, and equipment fair value adjustments that would have been incurred from December 30, 2018 to the acquisition date of IES Attachments and from December 30, 2018 to June 29, 2019 for CAM.

•Additional expense for acquisition-related costs and inventory step-up charges relating to the 2020 acquisition, as such expenses would have been incurred from December 30, 2018 to June 29, 2019.

•Because the 2019 acquisitions were assumed to occur on December 31, 2017, there were no acquisition-related costs or inventory step-up charges factored into the 2019 pro-forma period, as such expenses would have occurred in the first year following the assumed acquisition date.

INVESTMENTS

On January 2, 2019, the Company acquired a 20 percent interest in MTD, a privately held global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, for $234 million in cash. With 2019 annual revenue of approximately $2.4 billion, MTD manufactures and distributes gas-powered lawn tractors, zero turn mowers, walk behind mowers, snow throwers, trimmers, chain saws, utility vehicles and other outdoor power equipment. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has the option to acquire the remaining 80 percent of MTD beginning on July 1, 2021 and ending on January 2, 2029. In the event the option is exercised, the companies have agreed to a valuation multiple based on MTD’s 2018 EBITDA, with an equitable sharing arrangement for future EBITDA growth. The Company is applying the equity method of accounting to the MTD investment.

During 2019 and 2020, the Company made additional immaterial investments that are not accounted for under the equity method, which are included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company acquired less than a 20 percent interest in each investment and does not have the ability to significantly influence any of the investees.

¹Unamortized gain/(loss) associated with interest rate swaps are more fully discussed in Note I, Financial Instruments.

In February 2020, the Company issued $750.0 million of senior unsecured term notes maturing March 15, 2030 ("2030 Term Notes") and $750.0 million of fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated debentures maturing March 15, 2060 (“2060 Junior Subordinated Debentures”). The 2030 Term Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 2.3% per annum, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The 2060 Junior Subordinated Debentures bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, up to but excluding March 15, 2025. From and including March 15, 2025, the interest rate will be reset for each subsequent five-year reset period equal to the Five-Year Treasury Rate plus 2.657%. The Five-Year Treasury Rate is based on the average yields on actively traded U.S. treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity, for five-year maturities. On each five-year reset date, the 2060 Junior Subordinated Debentures can be called at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any. The 2060 Junior Subordinated Debentures are unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt. The Company received total net proceeds from these offerings of approximately $1.483 billion, net of underwriting expenses and other fees associated with the transactions. The net proceeds from the offerings were used for general corporate purposes, including acquisition funding.

The Company has a $3.0 billion commercial paper program which includes Euro denominated borrowings in addition to U.S. Dollars. As of June 27, 2020, the Company had $697.7 million of borrowings outstanding, of which approximately $299.7 million in Euro denominated commercial paper was designated as a net investment hedge. As of December 28, 2019, the

Company had $335.5 million of borrowings outstanding representing Euro denominated commercial paper, which was designated as a net investment hedge. Refer to Note I, Financial Instruments, for further discussion.

The Company has a five-year $2.0 billion committed credit facility (the “5-Year Credit Agreement”). Borrowings under the 5-Year Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling. A sub-limit amount of $653.3 million is designated for swing line advances which may be drawn in Euros pursuant to the terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and specific terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 5-Year Credit Agreement by the earlier of September 12, 2023 or upon termination. The 5-Year Credit Agreement is designated to be a liquidity back-stop for the Company's $3.0 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. As of June 27, 2020, and December 28, 2019, the Company had not drawn on its five-year committed credit facility.

The Company has a 364-Day $1.0 billion committed credit facility (the "364-Day Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars or Euros and bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and pursuant to the terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of September 9, 2020 or upon termination. The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. The 364-Day Credit Agreement serves as part of the liquidity back-stop for the Company’s $3.0 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. As of June 27, 2020, and December 28, 2019, the Company had not drawn on its 364-Day committed credit facility.

The Company has an interest coverage covenant that must be maintained to permit continued access to its committed credit facilities described above. The interest coverage ratio tested for covenant compliance compares adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization to adjusted Interest Expense ("adjusted EBITDA"/"adjusted Interest Expense"). In April 2020, the Company entered into amendments to its 5-Year Credit Agreement and 364-Day Credit Agreement to: (a) amend the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to allow for additional adjustment addbacks, which primarily relate to anticipated incremental charges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, for amounts incurred beginning in the second quarter of 2020 through the second quarter of 2021, and (b) lower the minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.5 to 2.5 times for the period from and including the second quarter of 2020 through the end of fiscal year 2021.

I. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, stock prices and commodity prices. As part of the Company’s risk management program, a variety of financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps, purchased currency options, foreign exchange contracts and commodity contracts, may be used to mitigate interest rate exposure, foreign currency exposure and commodity price exposure.

If the Company elects to do so and if the instrument meets the criteria specified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, management designates its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or net investment hedges. Generally, commodity price exposures are not hedged with derivative financial instruments and instead are actively managed through customer pricing initiatives, procurement-driven cost reduction initiatives and other productivity improvement projects. Financial instruments are not utilized for speculative purposes.

A summary of the fair values of the Company’s derivatives recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019 is as follows:

The counterparties to all of the above mentioned financial instruments are major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk for net exchanges under these agreements, but not for the notional amounts. The credit risk is limited to the asset amounts noted above. The Company limits its exposure and concentration of risk by contracting with diverse financial institutions and does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. Further, as more fully discussed in Note M, Fair Value Measurements, the Company considers non-performance risk of its counterparties at each reporting period and adjusts the carrying value of these assets accordingly. The risk of default is considered remote. As of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, there were no assets that had been posted as collateral related to the above mentioned financial instruments.

During the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, cash flows related to derivatives, including those that are separately discussed below, resulted in net cash received of $38.6 million and $22.3 million, respectively.

CASH FLOW HEDGES

There were after-tax mark-to-market losses of $111.3 million and $54.2 million as of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively, reported for cash flow hedge effectiveness in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. An after-tax loss of $2.9 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings as the hedged transactions occur or as amounts are amortized within the next twelve months. The ultimate amount recognized will vary based on fluctuations of the hedged currencies and interest rates through the maturity dates.

The tables below detail pre-tax amounts of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in Accumulated other comprehensive loss during the periods in which the underlying hedged transactions affected earnings for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019:

¹Inclusive of the gain/loss amortization on terminated derivative financial instruments.

An after-tax loss of $0.3 million and $1.1 million was reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings (inclusive of the gain/loss amortization on terminated derivative instruments) for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively. An after-tax loss of $1.7 million and $3.2 million was reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings (inclusive of the gain/loss amortization on terminated derivative instruments) for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, during the periods in which the underlying hedged transactions affected earnings.

Interest Rate Contracts: The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to obtain the lowest cost source of funds within a targeted range of variable to fixed-debt proportions. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swaps totaling $1.0 billion to offset the expected variability on future interest rate payments associated with debt instruments expected to be issued in the future. These swaps were terminated during the first quarter of 2020 resulting in a loss of $20.5 million, which was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being amortized to earnings as interest expense over future periods. The cash flows stemming from the maturity of such interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are presented within financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company had $400.0 million in forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges.

Foreign Currency Contracts

Forward Contracts: Through its global businesses, the Company enters into transactions and makes investments denominated in multiple currencies that give rise to foreign currency risk. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly purchase inventory from subsidiaries with functional currencies different than their own, which creates currency-related volatility in the Company’s results of operations. The Company utilizes forward contracts to hedge these forecasted purchases and sales of inventory. Gains and losses reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss are recorded in Cost of sales as the hedged item affects earnings. There are no components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for these contracts. At June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the notional value of forward currency contracts outstanding was $185.6 million and $518.2 million, respectively, maturing on various dates through 2020.

Table of Contents

In July 2020, the Company executed forward contracts with notional values totaling $125.0 million hedging Euro and Australian dollar exposures.

Purchased Option Contracts: The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into various intercompany transactions whereby the notional values are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the party executing the trade. In order to better match the cash flows of its intercompany obligations with cash flows from operations, the Company enters into purchased option contracts. Gains and losses reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss are recorded in Cost of sales as the hedged item affects earnings. There are no components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for these contracts. There were no outstanding purchased option contracts as of June 27, 2020 or December 28, 2019.

FAIR VALUE HEDGES

Interest Rate Risk: In an effort to optimize the mix of fixed versus floating rate debt in the Company’s capital structure, the Company enters into interest rate swaps. In prior years, the Company entered into interest rate swaps related to certain of its notes payable which were subsequently terminated. Amortization of the gain/loss on previously terminated swaps is reported as a reduction of interest expense. Prior to termination, the changes in the fair value of the swaps and the offsetting changes in fair value related to the underlying notes were recognized in earnings. As of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company did not have any active fair value interest rate swaps.

A summary of the pre-tax effect of fair value hedge accounting on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 is as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	Second Quarter 2020 Interest Expense		Year-to-Date 2020 Interest Expense

In February 2019, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding 2053 Junior Subordinated Debentures. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $4.6 million relating to the remaining unamortized gain on swap termination related to this debt.

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES

The Company utilizes net investment hedges to offset the translation adjustment arising from re-measurement of its investment in the assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries. The total after-tax amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss were gains of $124.3 million and $97.3 million at June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively.

As of June 27, 2020, the Company had cross currency swaps with notional values totaling $826.1 million maturing on various dates through 2023 hedging a portion of its Japanese yen, Euro and Swiss franc denominated net investments and Euro denominated commercial paper with a value of $299.7 million maturing in 2020 hedging a portion of its Euro denominated net investments. As of December 28, 2019, the Company had cross currency swaps with a notional value totaling $1.1 billion maturing on various dates through 2023 hedging a portion of its Japanese yen, Euro and Swiss franc denominated net investments and Euro denominated commercial paper with a value of $335.5 million maturing in 2020 hedging a portion of its Euro denominated net investments.

Maturing foreign exchange contracts resulted in net cash received of $41.0 million and $3.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively.

Gains and losses on net investment hedges remain in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until disposal of the underlying assets. Gains and losses representing components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings in Other, net on a straight-line basis over the term of the hedge. Gains and losses after a hedge has been de-designated are recorded directly to earnings in Other, net.

The pre-tax gain or loss from fair value changes for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 was as follows:

UNDESIGNATED HEDGES

Foreign Exchange Contracts: Foreign exchange forward contracts are used to reduce risks arising from the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (such as affiliate loans, payables and receivables). The objective is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on operating results. The total notional amount of the forward contracts outstanding at June 27, 2020 was $958.9 million, maturing on various dates through 2020. The total notional amount of the forward contracts outstanding at December 28, 2019 was $946.8 million, maturing on various dates through 2020. The gain (loss) recorded in income from changes in the fair value related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 are as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	Income Statement Classification	Second Quarter 2020		Year-to-Date 2020		Second Quarter 2019		Year-to-Date 2019
Foreign Exchange Contracts	Other, net	$	(6.0)	$	6.4	$	(3.6)	$	(1.3)

J. EQUITY ARRANGEMENTS

In March 2015, the Company entered into a forward share purchase contract with a financial institution counterparty for 3,645,510 shares of common stock. The contract obligates the Company to pay $350.0 million, plus an additional amount related to the forward component of the contract. In February 2020, the Company amended the settlement date to April 2022, or earlier at the Company's option. The reduction of common shares outstanding was recorded at the inception of the forward share purchase contract in March 2015 and factored into the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding at that time.

2019 Equity Units and Capped Call Transactions

In November 2019, the Company issued 7,500,000 Equity Units with a total notional value of $750.0 million (“2019 Equity Units”). Each unit has a stated amount of $100 and initially consists of a three-year forward stock purchase contract (“2022 Purchase Contracts”) for the purchase of a variable number of shares of common stock, on November 15, 2022, for a price of $100, and a 10% beneficial ownership interest in one share of 0% Series D Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”). The Company received approximately $735.0 million in cash proceeds from the 2019 Equity Units, net of offering expenses and underwriting costs and commissions, and issued 750,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, recording $750.0 million in preferred stock. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of short-term borrowings. The Company also used $19.2 million of the proceeds to enter into capped call transactions utilized to hedge potential economic dilution as described in more detail below.

Convertible Preferred Stock

In November 2019, the Company issued 750,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The convertible preferred stock will initially not bear any dividends and the liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock will not accrete. The convertible preferred stock has no maturity date and will remain outstanding unless converted by holders or redeemed by the Company. Holders of shares of the convertible preferred stock will generally have no voting rights.

The Series D Preferred Stock is pledged as collateral to support holders’ purchase obligations under the 2022 Purchase Contracts and can be remarketed. In connection with any successful remarketing, the Company may (but is not required to) modify certain terms of the convertible preferred stock, including the dividend rate, the conversion rate, and the earliest redemption date. After any successful remarketing in connection with which the dividend rate on the convertible preferred stock is increased, the Company will pay cumulative dividends on the convertible preferred stock, if declared by the Board of Directors, quarterly in arrears from the applicable remarketing settlement date.

On and after November 15, 2022, the Series D Preferred Stock may be converted into common stock at the option of the holder. The conversion rate was initially 5.2263 shares of common stock per one share of Series D Preferred Stock, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $191.34 per share of common stock. As of June 27, 2020, the conversion rate remained 5.2263, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $191.34 per share of common stock. At the election of the Company, upon conversion, the Company may deliver cash, common stock, or a combination thereof.

The Company may not redeem the Series D Preferred Stock prior to December 22, 2022. At the election of the Company, on or after December 22, 2022, the Company may redeem for cash, all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. If the Company calls the Series D Preferred Stock for redemption, holders may convert their shares immediately preceding the redemption date.

2022 Purchase Contracts

The 2022 Purchase Contracts obligate the holders to purchase, on November 15, 2022, for a price of $100 in cash, a maximum number of 4.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). The 2022 Purchase Contract holders may elect to settle their obligation early, in cash. The Series D Preferred Stock is pledged as collateral to guarantee the holders’ obligations to purchase common stock under the terms of the 2022 Purchase Contracts. The initial settlement rate determining the number of shares that each holder must purchase will not exceed the maximum settlement rate and is determined over a market value averaging period immediately preceding November 15, 2022.

The initial maximum settlement rate of 0.6272 was calculated using an initial reference price of $159.45, equal to the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on November 7, 2019. As of June 27, 2020, the maximum settlement rate remained 0.6272, equivalent to a reference price of $159.45. If the applicable market value of the Company's common stock is less than or equal to the reference price, the settlement rate will be the maximum settlement rate; and if the applicable market value of the Company's common stock is greater than the reference price, the settlement rate will be a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to $100 divided by the applicable market value. Upon settlement of the 2022 Purchase Contracts, the Company will receive additional cash proceeds of $750 million.

The Company pays the holders of the 2022 Purchase Contracts quarterly payments (“Contract Adjustment Payments”) at a rate of 5.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, which commenced on February 15, 2020. The $114.2 million present value of the Contract Adjustment Payments reduced Shareowners’ Equity at inception. As each quarterly Contract Adjustment Payment is made, the related liability is reduced and the difference between the cash payment and the present value will accrete to interest expense, approximately $1.3 million per year over the three-year term. As of June 27, 2020, the present value of the Contract Adjustment Payments was $95.4 million.

The holders can settle the purchase contracts early, for cash, subject to certain exceptions and conditions in the prospectus supplement. Upon early settlement of any purchase contracts, the Company will deliver the number of shares of its common stock equal to 85% of the number of shares of common stock that would have otherwise been deliverable.

Capped Call Transactions

In order to offset the potential economic dilution associated with the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent that the conversion value of the convertible preferred stock exceeds its liquidation preference, the Company entered into capped call transactions with three major financial institutions.

The capped call transactions have a term of approximately three years and are intended to cover the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. Subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the capped call has an initial lower strike price of $191.34, which corresponds to the minimum 5.2263 settlement rate of the Series D Preferred Stock, and an upper strike price of $207.29, which is approximately 30% higher than the closing price of the Company's common stock on November 7, 2019. As of June 27, 2020, the capped call transactions remained at an adjusted lower strike price of $191.34 and an adjusted upper strike price of $207.29.

The capped call transactions may be settled by net share settlement (the default settlement method) or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, cash settlement, physical settlement or modified physical settlement. The number of shares the Company will receive will be determined by the terms of the contracts using a volume-weighted average price calculation for the market value of the Company's common stock, over an averaging period. The market value determined will then be measured against the applicable strike price of the capped call transactions. The Company expects the capped call transactions

Table of Contents

to offset the potential dilution upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock if the calculated market value is greater than the lower strike price but less than or equal to the upper strike price of the capped call transactions. Should the calculated market value exceed the upper strike price of the capped call transactions, the dilution mitigation will be limited based on such capped value as determined under the terms of the contracts.

With respect to the impact on the Company, the capped call transactions and 2019 Equity Units, when taken together, result in the economic equivalent of having the conversion price on the 2019 Equity Units at $207.29, the upper strike price of the capped call as of June 27, 2020.

The Company paid $19.2 million, or an average of $4.90 per option, to enter into capped call transactions on 3.9 million shares of common stock. The $19.2 million premium paid was recorded as a reduction of Shareowners’ Equity. The aggregate fair value of the options at June 27, 2020 was $11.8 million.

2017 Equity Units and Capped Call Transactions

In May 2017, the Company issued 7,500,000 Equity Units with a total notional value of $750.0 million (“2017 Equity Units”). Each unit had a stated amount of $100 and initially consisted of a three-year forward stock purchase contract (“2020 Purchase Contracts”) for the purchase of a variable number of shares of common stock, on May 15, 2020, for a price of $100, and a 10% beneficial ownership interest in one share of 0% Series C Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”). The Company received approximately $726.0 million in cash proceeds from the 2017 Equity Units, net of offering expenses and underwriting costs and commissions, and issued 750,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, recording $750.0 million in preferred stock. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of short-term borrowings. The Company also used $25.1 million of the proceeds to enter into capped call transactions utilized to hedge potential economic dilution as described in more detail below.

Convertible Preferred Stock

In May 2017, the Company issued 750,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The convertible preferred stock initially did not bear any dividends and the liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock did not accrete. The convertible preferred stock has no maturity date and remains outstanding unless converted by holders or redeemed by the Company. Holders of shares of the convertible preferred stock generally have no voting rights. The Series C Preferred Stock was pledged as collateral to support holders’ purchase obligations under the 2020 Purchase Contracts.

In May 2020, the Company successfully remarketed the Series C Preferred Stock. In connection with the remarketing, the conversion rate was reset to 6.7352 shares of the Company's common stock, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $148.47 per share. On and after May 15, 2020, the Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into common stock at the option of the holder. At the election of the Company, upon conversion, the Company may deliver cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. As of June 27, 2020 due to customary anti-dilution provisions, the conversion rate was 6.7411, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $148.34 per share of common stock.

Subsequent to the remarketing, holders of the convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, if declared by the Board of Directors, cumulative dividends (i) from, and including May 15, 2020 to, but excluding, May 15, 2023 (the "dividend step-up date") at a fixed rate equal to 5.0% per annum of the $1,000 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $50.00 per annum per share) and (ii) from, and including, the dividend step-up date at a fixed rate equal to 10.0% per annum of the $1,000 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $100.00 per annum per share). Dividends will be cumulative on the $1,000 liquidation preference per share and will be payable, if declared by the Board of Directors, quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2020. Dividends accrued on the Series C Preferred Stock reduce net earnings for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

The Company does not have the right to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock prior to May 15, 2021. At the election of the Company, on or after May 15, 2021, the Company may redeem for cash, all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. If the Company calls the Series C Preferred Stock for redemption, holders may convert their shares immediately preceding the redemption date.

2020 Purchase Contracts

Table of Contents

The remarketing resulted in cash proceeds of $750.0 million, which were automatically applied to satisfy in full the related unit holders’ obligations to purchase common shares under their 2020 Purchase Contracts. In May 2020, the Company issued 5,463,750 common shares, settling all 2020 Purchase Contracts using the maximum settlement rate of 0.7285 (equivalent to a reference price of $137.26 per common share).

The Company paid the holders of the 2020 Purchase Contracts quarterly payments ("Contracts Adjustment Payments") at a rate of 5.375% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, which commenced August 15, 2017. The $117.1 million initial present value of the Contract Adjustment Payments reduced Shareowners’ Equity at inception. As each quarterly Contract Adjustment Payment was made, the related liability was reduced and the difference between the cash payments and the present value accreted to interest expense, approximately $1.3 million per year over the three-year term. On May 15, 2020, the Company paid the final contract adjustment payment.

Capped Call Transactions

In May 2017, the Company entered into capped call transactions with three major financial institutions (the "counterparties") in order to offset the potential economic dilution associated with the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent that the conversion value of the convertible preferred stock exceeds its liquidation preference. The Company paid $25.1 million, or an average of $5.43 per option, to enter into capped call transactions on 4.6 million shares of common stock. The $25.1 million premium paid was recorded as a reduction of Shareowners’ Equity.

The capped call transactions had a term of approximately three years and were intended to cover the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. Subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the capped call had an initial lower strike price of $162.27, which corresponded to the minimum 6.1627 settlement rate of the Series C Preferred Stock at inception, and an upper strike price of $179.53, which was approximately 30% higher than the closing price of the Company's common stock on May 11, 2017. In June 2020, the capped call options expired out of the money.

2018 Capped Call Transactions

In February 2020, the Company net-share settled 0.6 million of the 3.2 million capped call options on its common stock and received 61,767 shares using an average reference price of $162.26 per common share.

On June 9, 2020, the Company amended the 2018 capped call options to align with and offset the potential economic dilution associated with the common shares issuable upon conversion of the remarketed Series C Preferred Stock, as further discussed above. Subsequent to the amendment, the capped call options had an initial lower strike price of $148.34 and an upper strike price of $165.00, which was approximately 30% higher than the closing price of the Company's common stock on June 9, 2020. As of June 27, 2020, the lower and upper strike prices remained $148.34 and $165.00, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the options at June 27, 2020 was $25.4 million.

With respect to the impact on the Company, the capped call transactions and Series C Preferred Stock, when taken together, result in the economic equivalent of having the conversion price on the Series C Preferred Stock at $165.00, the upper strike price of the capped call as of June 27, 2020.

The capped call transactions may be settled by net share settlement (the default settlement method) or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, cash settlement, physical settlement or modified physical settlement. The number of shares the Company will receive will be determined by the terms of the contracts using a volume-weighted-average price calculation for the market value of the Company's common stock, over an averaging period. The market value determined will then be measured against the applicable strike price of the capped call transactions.

M. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines, establishes a consistent framework for measuring, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

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

Level 3 — Instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, stock prices and commodity prices. The Company holds various financial instruments to manage these risks. These financial instruments are carried at fair value and are included within the scope of ASC 820. The Company determines the fair value of these financial instruments through the use of matrix or model pricing, which utilizes observable inputs such as market interest and currency rates. When determining fair value for which Level 1 evidence does not exist, the Company considers various factors including the following: exchange or market price quotations of similar instruments, time value and volatility factors, the Company’s own credit rating and the credit rating of the counterparty.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for each of the hierarchy levels:

Table of Contents


(Millions of Dollars)	Total Carrying Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Contingent consideration liability	$	196.1	$	—	$	—	$	196.1

The following table provides information about the Company's financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value:


	June 27, 2020						December 28, 2019
(Millions of Dollars)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Other investments	$	13.3	$	13.8	$	14.4	$	14.8
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	4,661.8	$	5,329.5	$	3,179.5	$	3,601.0

The money market fund and other investments related to the West Coast Loading Corporation ("WCLC") trust are considered Level 1 instruments within the fair value hierarchy. The long-term debt instruments are considered Level 2 instruments and are measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s marginal borrowing rates. The differences between the carrying values and fair values of long-term debt are attributable to the stated interest rates differing from the Company's marginal borrowing rates. The fair values of the Company's variable rate short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values at June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019. The fair values of the derivative financial instruments in the table above are based on current settlement values.

As part of the CAM acquisition in February 2020, the Company recorded a contingent consideration liability representing the Company’s obligation to make future payments up to $200.0 million to the former option holders of CAM if the Federal Aviation Administration authorizes the Boeing 737 MAX Airplanes to return to service by June 30, 2022 and Boeing achieves certain production levels by various milestone dates no later than June 30, 2022. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $155.3 million as of June 27, 2020 and was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis taking into consideration the expected probability and timing of achieving the milestones, and production rate forecasts.

As part of the Craftsman® brand acquisition in March 2017, the Company recorded a contingent consideration liability representing the Company's obligation to make future payments to Transform Holdco, LLC, which operates Sears and Kmart retail locations, of between 2.5% and 3.5% on sales of Craftsman products in new Stanley Black & Decker channels through March 2032. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company made its first payment totaling approximately $33.0 million relating to royalties owed for the previous twelve quarters. The Company will continue making future payments quarterly through the second quarter of 2032. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis taking into consideration future sales projections, forecasted payments to Transform Holdco, LLC, based on contractual royalty rates, and the related tax impacts. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $176.0 million and $196.1 million as of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. Adjustments to the contingent consideration liability, with the exception of cash payments, are recorded in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. A 100 basis point reduction in the discount rate would result in an increase to the liability of approximately $8.6 million as of June 27, 2020.

A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company's judgments used to determine the estimated contingent consideration liabilities discussed above, including the probability and timing of future events, estimated future production rates, and estimated future sales projections, can materially impact the Company’s results from operations.

Table of Contents

The Company had no significant non-recurring fair value measurements, nor any other financial assets or liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs, during the first six months of 2020 or 2019.

Refer to Note I, Financial Instruments, for more details regarding derivative financial instruments, Note R, Contingencies, for more details regarding the other investments related to the WCLC trust, and Note H, Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements, for more information regarding the carrying values of the long-term debt.

N. OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a pre-tax charge of approximately $110.0 million related to the recently initiated comprehensive cost reduction and efficiency program in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The charge was primarily related to costs associated with a voluntary retirement program as well as restructuring costs related to headcount actions, as further discussed in Note O, Restructuring Charges.

Other, net is primarily comprised of intangible asset amortization expense, currency-related gains or losses, environmental remediation expense, acquisition-related transaction and consulting costs, and certain pension gains or losses. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, Other, net included charges of $19.8 million and $38.7 million, respectively, primarily related to acquisition-related transaction costs and a special termination benefit charge associated with the voluntary retirement program. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, Other, net included $4.5 million and $20.6 million of acquisition-related transaction and consulting costs, respectively.

O. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

A summary of the restructuring reserve activity from December 28, 2019 to June 27, 2020 is as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	December 28, 2019		Net Additions		Usage		Currency		June 27, 2020

Total	$	147.8	$	31.8	$	(63.6)	$	0.5	$	116.5

For the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company recognized net restructuring charges of $27.9 million and $31.8 million, respectively, primarily related to severance costs associated with the Company's recently implemented cost reduction program. The majority of the $116.5 million of reserves remaining as of June 27, 2020 is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months.

Segments: The $32 million of net restructuring charges for the six months ended June 27, 2020 includes: $13 million pertaining to the Tools & Storage segment; $10 million of pertaining to the Industrial segment; and $9 million pertaining to the Security segment.

The $28 million of net restructuring charges for the three months ended June 27, 2020 includes: $14 million pertaining to the Tools & Storage segment; $7 million pertaining to the Industrial segment; and $7 million pertaining to the Security segment.

P. INCOME TAXES

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements in the first or second quarter of 2020. The Company continues to evaluate the potential impacts the CARES Act may have on its operations and consolidated financial statements in future periods.

The Company recognized income tax benefits of $117.3 million and $104.4 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (105.6)% and (40.6)%. In the second quarter of 2020, as a result of initiating a supply chain reorganization, the Company recorded a one-time benefit of $118.8 million to reverse a deferred tax liability previously established related to certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries not permanently reinvested. Excluding the impacts of this one-time benefit and acquisition-related and other charges, the effective tax rates were 15.0% and 13.9% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory

Table of Contents

tax rate primarily due to tax on foreign earnings, the re-measurement of uncertain tax position reserves, an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights, and the tax benefit of equity compensation.

The Company recognized income tax expense of $51.6 million and $76.3 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.8% for both periods. Excluding the impacts of the acquisition-related and other charges and the Sargent & Greenleaf divestiture in the second quarter of 2019, the effective tax rates were 11.6% and 12.8% for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively. These effective tax rates differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to tax on foreign earnings and the effective settlements of income tax audits.

The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and the impact on income tax expense, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company's unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. However, based on the uncertainties associated with finalizing audits with the relevant tax authorities including formal legal proceedings, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the impact of any such change.

Q. BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

The Company's operations are classified into three reportable business segments, which also represent its operating segments: Tools & Storage, Industrial and Security.

The business also sells healthcare solutions, which include asset tracking, infant protection, pediatric protection, patient protection, wander management, fall management, and emergency call products. The MAS business primarily sells automatic doors.

The Company utilizes segment profit, which is defined as net sales minus cost of sales and SG&A inclusive of the provision for credit losses (aside from corporate overhead expense), and segment profit as a percentage of net sales to assess the profitability of each segment. Segment profit excludes the corporate overhead expense element of SG&A, other, net (inclusive of intangible asset amortization expense), gain on sale of business, restructuring charges, interest expense, interest income, income taxes and share of net earnings or losses of equity method investment. Refer to Note O, Restructuring Charges, for the amount of net restructuring charges by segment. Corporate overhead is comprised of world headquarters facility expense, cost for the executive management team and expenses pertaining to certain centralized functions that benefit the entire Company but are not directly attributable to the businesses, such as legal and corporate finance functions. Transactions between segments are not

R. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings relating to environmental issues, employment, product liability, workers’ compensation claims and other matters. The Company periodically reviews the status of these proceedings with both inside and outside counsel, as well as an actuary for risk insurance. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on operations or financial condition taken as a whole.

On January 25, 2019, IPS Worldwide, LLC ("IPS"), a third-party provider of freight payment processing services for the Company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and listed the Company as an unsecured creditor. As of December 29, 2018, there were outstanding obligations of approximately $50.8 million owed to certain of the Company's freight carriers. Such amounts had previously been remitted to IPS through a third-party financing program for ultimate payment to these freight carriers. However, due to nonperformance of IPS with respect to processing these payments and the Company's obligation to its freight carriers, an incremental $50.8 million charge was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018. This charge did not include any amounts that the Company will attempt to recover from insurance and/or through the bankruptcy proceedings, which could ultimately reduce the loss exposure recorded.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to administrative proceedings and litigation, before federal and state regulatory agencies, relating to environmental remediation with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment, generally at current and former manufacturing facilities. In addition, some of these claims assert that the Company is responsible for damages and liability, for remedial investigation and clean-up costs, with respect to sites that have never been owned or operated by the Company, but the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP").

In connection with the 2010 merger with Black & Decker, the Company assumed certain commitments and contingent liabilities. Black & Decker is a party to litigation and administrative proceedings with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment at current and former manufacturing facilities and has also been named as a PRP in certain administrative proceedings.

Table of Contents

The Company, along with many other companies, has been named as a PRP in numerous administrative proceedings for the remediation of various waste sites, including 28 active Superfund sites. Current laws potentially impose joint and several liabilities upon each PRP. In assessing its potential liability at these sites, the Company has considered the following: whether responsibility is being disputed, the terms of existing agreements, experience at similar sites, and the Company’s volumetric contribution at these sites.

The Company’s policy is to accrue environmental investigatory and remediation costs for identified sites when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If no amount in the range of probable loss is considered most likely, the minimum loss in the range is accrued. The amount of liability recorded is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual site and includes such factors as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. The liabilities recorded do not take into account any claims for recoveries from insurance or third parties. As assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, the amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. As of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company had reserves of $204.4 million and $213.8 million, respectively, for remediation activities associated with Company-owned properties, as well as for Superfund sites, for losses that are probable and estimable. Of the 2020 amount, $60.9 million is classified as current and $143.5 million as long-term which is expected to be paid over the estimated remediation period. As of June 27, 2020, the range of environmental remediation costs that is reasonably possible is $137.9 million to $277.4 million which is subject to change in the near term. The Company may be liable for environmental remediation of sites it no longer owns. Liabilities have been recorded on those sites in accordance with the Company's policy.

As of June 27, 2020, the Company has recorded $15.8 million in other assets related to funding received by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and placed in a trust in accordance with the final settlement with the EPA, embodied in a Consent Decree approved by the United States District Court for the Central District of California on July 3, 2013. Per the Consent Decree, Emhart Industries, Inc. (a dissolved and liquidated former indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of The Black & Decker Corporation) (“Emhart”) has agreed to be responsible for an interim remedy at a site located in Rialto, California and formerly operated by West Coast Loading Corporation (“WCLC”), a defunct company for which Emhart was alleged to be liable as a successor. The remedy will be funded by (i) the amounts received from the EPA as gathered from multiple parties, and, to the extent necessary, (ii) Emhart's affiliate. The interim remedy requires the construction of a water treatment facility and the filtering of ground water at or around the site for a period of approximately 30 years or more. As of June 27, 2020, the Company's net cash obligation associated with remediation activities, including WCLC assets, is $188.6 million.

The EPA also asserted claims in federal court in Rhode Island against Black & Decker and Emhart related to environmental contamination found at the Centredale Manor Restoration Project Superfund Site ("Centredale"), located in North Providence, Rhode Island. The EPA discovered a variety of contaminants at the site, including but not limited to, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, and pesticides. The EPA alleged that Black & Decker and Emhart are liable for site clean-up costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") as successors to the liability of Metro-Atlantic, Inc., a former operator at the site, and demanded reimbursement of the EPA’s costs related to this site. Black & Decker and Emhart contested the EPA's allegation that they are responsible for the contamination, and asserted contribution claims, counterclaims and cross-claims against a number of other PRPs, including the federal government as well as insurance carriers. The EPA released its Record of Decision ("ROD") in September 2012, which identified and described the EPA's selected remedial alternative for the site. Black & Decker and Emhart contested the EPA's selection of the remedial alternative set forth in the ROD on the grounds that the EPA's actions were arbitrary and capricious and otherwise not in accordance with law, and proposed other equally-protective, more cost-effective alternatives. On June 10, 2014, the EPA issued an Administrative Order under Sec. 106 of CERCLA, instructing Black & Decker and Emhart to perform the remediation of Centredale pursuant to the ROD. Black & Decker and Emhart disputed the factual, legal and scientific bases cited by the EPA for such an administrative order and provided the EPA with numerous good-faith bases for their declination to comply with the administrative order. Black & Decker and Emhart then vigorously litigated the issue of their liability for environmental conditions at the Centredale site, including completing trial on Phase 1 of the proceedings in late July 2015 and completing trial on Phase 2 of the proceedings in April 2017. Following the Phase I trial, the Court found that dioxin contamination at the Centredale site was not "divisible" and that Black & Decker and Emhart were jointly and severally liable for dioxin contamination at the site. Following the Phase 2 trial, the Court found that certain components of the EPA's selected remedy were arbitrary and capricious, and remanded the matter to the EPA while retaining jurisdiction over the ongoing remedy selection and implementation process. The Court also held in Phase 2 that Black & Decker and Emhart had sufficient cause for their declination to comply with the EPA's June 10, 2014 administrative order and that no associated civil penalties or fines were warranted. The United States filed a Motion for Reconsideration concerning the Court's Phase 2 rulings and appealed the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Black & Decker and Emhart's Motion to Dismiss the Appeal was denied without prejudice for consideration with the merits. On July 9, 2018, a Consent Decree was lodged with the United States District Court documenting the terms of a settlement between the Company and the United States for reimbursement of

Table of Contents

EPA's past costs and remediation of environmental contamination found at the Centredale site. The terms of the Consent Decree were subject to public comment and Court approval. After a full hearing on March 19, 2019, the Court approved and entered the Consent Decree on April 8, 2019. The settlement resolves outstanding issues relating to Phase 1 and 2 of the litigation with the United States. The Company is complying with the terms of the settlement while several PRPs at the site have appealed the District Court's entry of the Consent Decree to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Phase 3 of the litigation is addressing the potential allocation of liability to other PRPs who may have contributed to contamination of the Centredale site with dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls and other contaminants of concern. Based on the Company's estimated remediation and response cost obligations arising out of the settlement reached with the United States (including the EPA’s past costs as well as costs of additional investigation, remediation, and related costs such as EPA’s oversight costs), the Company has increased its reserve for this site. Accordingly, in 2018, a $77.7 million increase was recorded in Other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 27, 2020, the Company has reserved $106.4 million for this site.

The Company and approximately 47 other companies comprise the Lower Passaic Cooperating Parties Group (the “CPG”). The CPG members and other companies are parties to a May 2007 Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (“AOC”) with the EPA to perform a remedial investigation/feasibility study (“RI/FS”) of the lower seventeen miles of the Lower Passaic River in New Jersey (the “River”). The Company’s potential liability stems from former operations in Newark, New Jersey. As an interim step related to the 2007 AOC, on June 18, 2012, the CPG members voluntarily entered into an AOC with the EPA for remediation actions focused solely at mile 10.9 of the River. The Company’s estimated costs related to the RI/FS and focused remediation action at mile 10.9, based on an interim allocation, are included in its environmental reserves. On April 11, 2014, the EPA issued a Focused Feasibility Study (“FFS”) and proposed plan which addressed various early action remediation alternatives for the lower 8.3 miles of the River. The EPA received public comment on the FFS and proposed plan (including comments from the CPG and other entities asserting that the FFS and proposed plan do not comply with CERCLA) which public comment period ended on August 20, 2014. The CPG submitted to the EPA a draft RI report in February 2015 and draft FS report in April 2015 for the entire lower seventeen miles of the River. On March 4, 2016, the EPA issued a Record of Decision selecting the remedy for the lower 8.3 miles of the River. The cleanup plan adopted by the EPA is now considered a final action for the lower 8.3 miles of the River and will include the removal of 3.5 million cubic yards of sediment, placement of a cap over the entire lower 8.3 miles of the River, and, according to the EPA, will cost approximately $1.4 billion and take 6 years to implement after the remedial design is completed. (The EPA estimates that the remedial design will take four years to complete.) The Company and 105 other parties received a letter dated March 31, 2016 from the EPA notifying such parties of potential liability for the costs of the cleanup of the lower 8.3 miles of the River and a letter dated March 30, 2017 stating that the EPA had offered 20 of the parties (not including the Company) an early cash out settlement. In a letter dated May 17, 2017, the EPA stated that these 20 parties did not discharge any of the eight hazardous substances identified as the contaminants of concern in the lower 8.3 mile ROD. In the March 30, 2017 letter, the EPA stated that other parties who did not discharge dioxins, furans or polychlorinated biphenyls (which are considered the contaminants of concern posing the greatest risk to human health or the environment) may also be eligible for cash out settlement, but expects those parties' allocation to be determined through a complex settlement analysis using a third-party allocator. The EPA subsequently clarified this statement to say that such parties would be eligible to be "funding parties" for the lower 8.3 mile remedial action with each party's share of the costs determined by the EPA based on the allocation process and the remaining parties would be "work parties" for the remedial action. The Company currently is participating in the allocation process that is expected to be completed in late 2020. The Company asserts that it did not discharge dioxins, furans or polychlorinated biphenyls and should be eligible to be a "funding party" for the lower 8.3 mile remedial action. On September 30, 2016, Occidental Chemical Corporation ("OCC") entered into an agreement with the EPA to perform the remedial design for the cleanup plan for the lower 8.3 miles of the River. On June 30, 2018, OCC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against over 100 companies, including the Company, seeking CERCLA cost recovery or contribution for past costs relating to various investigations and cleanups OCC has conducted or is conducting in connection with the River. According to the complaint, OCC has incurred or is incurring costs which include the estimated cost ($165 million) to complete the remedial design for the cleanup plan for the lower 8.3 miles of the River. OCC also seeks a declaratory judgment to hold the defendants liable for their proper shares of future response costs for OCC's ongoing activities in connection with the River. The Company and other defendants have answered the complaint and currently are engaged in discovery with OCC. On October 10, 2018, the EPA issued a letter directing the CPG to prepare a streamlined feasibility study for the upper 9 miles of the River based on an iterative approach using adaptive management strategies. The CPG submitted a revised draft Interim Remedy Feasibility Study to EPA on May 15, 2020, which identifies various targeted dredge and cap alternatives with costs that range from $420 million to $468 million (net present value). The EPA announced that it intends to issue the Interim Remedy ROD in the Winter of 2020/2021. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate its liability related to the litigation and remediation efforts, excluding the RI/FS and remediation actions at mile 10.9, as the RI/FS is ongoing, the ultimate remedial approach and associated cost for the upper portion of the River has not yet been determined, and the parties that will participate in funding the remediation and their respective allocations are not yet known.

Table of Contents

Per the terms of a Final Order and Judgment approved by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida on January 22, 1991, Emhart is responsible for a percentage of remedial costs arising out of the Kerr McGee Chemical Corporation Superfund Site located in Jacksonville, Florida. On March 15, 2017, the Company received formal notification from the EPA that the EPA had issued a ROD selecting the preferred alternative identified in the Proposed Cleanup Plan. As of June 27, 2020, the Company has reserved $25.1 million for this site.

The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

S. COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES

COMMITMENTS — The Company has numerous assets, predominantly real estate, vehicles and equipment, under various lease arrangements. At inception of arrangements with vendors, the Company determines whether the contract is or contains a lease based on each party’s rights and obligations under the arrangement. If the lease arrangement also contains non-lease components, the lease and non-lease elements are separately accounted for in accordance with the appropriate accounting guidance for each item. From time to time, lease arrangements allow for, and the Company executes, the purchase of the underlying leased asset. Lease arrangements may also contain renewal options or early termination options. As part of its lease liability and right-of-use asset calculation, consideration is given to the likelihood of exercising any extension or termination options. The present value of the Company’s lease liability was calculated using a weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of approximately 3.70%. The Company determined its incremental borrowing rate based on interest rates from its debt issuances and taking into consideration adjustments for collateral, lease terms and foreign currency. As a result of acquiring right-of-use assets from new leases entered into during the six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company's lease liability increased approximately $53.1 million. As of June 27, 2020, the Company recognized a lease liability of approximately $517.0 million and right-of-use asset of approximately $516.0 million. The right-of-use asset is included within Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the lease liability is included within Accrued expenses and Other liabilities, as appropriate. As permitted by ASC 842, leases with expected durations of less than 12 months from inception (i.e. short-term leases) were excluded from the Company’s calculation of its lease liability and right-of-use asset.

The Company is a party to leases for one of its major distribution centers and two of its office buildings in which the periodic rental payments vary based on interest rates (i.e. LIBOR). The leases qualify as operating leases for accounting purposes.

The following is a summary of the Company's total lease cost for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019:


	Second Quarter						Year-to-Date
(Millions of Dollars)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Operating lease cost	$	37.3	$	38.7	$	74.9	$	76.3
Short-term lease cost	6.0		6.6		12.8		13.4
Variable lease cost	1.8		2.2		3.8		4.3
Sublease income	(0.2)		(0.9)		(0.4)		(1.5)
Total lease cost	$	44.9	$	46.6	$	91.1	$	92.5

During the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company paid approximately $38.4 million and $79.0 million, respectively, relating to leases included in the measurement of its lease liability and right-of-use asset. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, the Company paid approximately $36.6 million and $74.8 million, respectively, relating to leases included in the measurement of its lease liability and right-of-use asset. As of June 27, 2020, the weighted-average remaining term for the Company's leases is approximately 6 years.

The following is a summary of the Company's future lease obligations on an undiscounted basis at June 27, 2020:


(Millions of Dollars)	Total		2020		2021		2022		2023		2024		Thereafter
Lease obligations	$	581.9	$	73.7	$	124.2	$	92.2	$	66.4	$	56.2	$	169.2

GUARANTEES — The Company’s financial guarantees at June 27, 2020 are as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	Term	Maximum Potential Payment		Carrying Amount of Liability
Guarantees on the residual values of leased assets	One to four years	$	101.9	$	—
Standby letters of credit	Up to three years	162.3		—
Commercial customer financing arrangements	Up to six years	64.7		6.9
Total		$	328.9	$	6.9

The Company has guaranteed a portion of the residual values of leased assets relating to the previously discussed leases for one of its major distribution centers and two of its office buildings. The lease guarantees are for an amount up to $101.9 million while the fair value of the underlying assets is estimated at $123.9 million. The related assets would be available to satisfy the guarantee obligations and therefore it is unlikely the Company will incur any future loss associated with these guarantees.

The Company has issued $162.3 million in standby letters of credit that guarantee future payments which may be required under certain insurance programs and in relation to certain environmental remediation activities described more fully in Note R, Contingencies.

The Company provides various limited and full recourse guarantees to financial institutions that provide financing to U.S. and Canadian Mac Tool distributors and franchisees for their initial purchase of the inventory and trucks necessary to function as a distributor and franchisee. In addition, the Company provides limited and full recourse guarantees to financial institutions that extend credit to certain end retail customers of its U.S. Mac Tool distributors and franchisees. The gross amount guaranteed in these arrangements is $64.7 million and the $6.9 million carrying value of the guarantees issued is recorded in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following discussion contains statements reflecting the Company's views about its future performance that constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Please read the information under the caption entitled “Cautionary Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."

Throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), references to Notes refer to the "Notes To (Unaudited) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Strategy

The Company is a diversified global provider of hand tools, power tools and related accessories, engineered fastening systems and products, services and equipment for oil & gas and infrastructure applications, commercial electronic security and monitoring systems, healthcare solutions, and automatic doors. The Company continues to execute a growth and acquisition strategy over the long-term that involves industry, geographic and customer diversification to foster sustainable revenue, earnings and cash flow growth. The Company remains focused on leveraging its SBD Operating Model to deliver success in the 2020s and beyond. The latest evolution of the SBD Operating Model, formerly Stanley Fulfillment System ("SFS") 2.0, builds on the strength of the Company's past while embracing changes in the external environment to ensure the Company has the right skillsets, incorporates technology advances in all areas, maintains operational excellence, drives efficiency in business processes and resiliency into its culture, delivers extreme innovation and ensures the customer experience is world class. In addition, the Company continues to make strides towards achieving its long-term vision, by becoming known as one of the world’s leading innovators, continuing to deliver top-quartile financial performance and elevating its commitment to social responsibility.

In terms of capital allocation, the Company remains committed, over time, to returning approximately 50% of free cash flow to shareholders through a strong and growing dividend as well as opportunistically repurchasing shares. The remaining free cash flow (approximately 50%) will be deployed towards acquisitions.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has adversely affected the Company's workforce and operations, as well as the operations of its customers, distributors, suppliers and contractors. The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in significant volatility and uncertainty in the markets in which the Company operates. To successfully navigate through this unprecedented period, the Company continues to focus on the following key priorities:

•Ensuring the health and safety of its employees and supply chain partners;

•Maintaining business continuity and financial strength and stability;

•Serving its customers as they provide essential products and services to the world; and

•Doing its part to mitigate the impact of the virus across the globe.

To respond to the current environment, the Company is proceeding with its previously announced comprehensive cost reduction and efficiency program, which is expected to deliver annual cost savings of $1 billion with $500 million in 2020. Cost actions initiated under the program include headcount reductions, furloughs, reduced employee work schedules, a voluntary retirement program, and footprint rationalizations. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company realized pre-tax savings of approximately $175 million, representing a strong start to the program. Given the risks and uncertainties regarding the global economic outlook, the Company has taken steps to make some of the furloughs and reduced work weeks permanent while the remaining others will be returned to full-time status as of early September 2020. This will ensure more sustainability of the cost reduction program while providing more employment stability for the Company's remaining associates.

The program’s primary focus is to: (a) adjust the Company’s supply chain and manufacturing labor base to match the current demand environment; (b) substantially reduce indirect spending; (c) reduce staffing, compensation and benefits in a manner that ensures the Company is prepared for a demand recovery at the appropriate time; and (d) capture the significant raw material deflation opportunity that has recently emerged. In addition, the Company is reducing capital expenditures and temporarily suspending acquisition-related activity and share repurchases until the demand outlook is clearer. The near-term priority for capital deployment is focused on deleveraging in line with the Company's strong investment grade credit ratings.

The Company effectively managed through a multitude of challenges during the second quarter of 2020 and continues to believe it is in a strong financial position and has significant flexibility to continue navigating this volatile period. However, the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, results of operations, or liquidity remains uncertain. Refer to Financial Condition below and Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Acquisitions and Investments

On February 24, 2020, the Company acquired Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing, LLC ("CAM"), an industry-leading manufacturer of specialty fasteners and components for the aerospace and defense markets.

The acquisition further diversifies the Company's presence in the industrial markets, expands its portfolio of attachment solutions and provides a meaningful platform for growth.

On January 2, 2019, the Company acquired a 20 percent interest in MTD Holdings Inc. ("MTD"), a privately held global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment. MTD manufactures and distributes gas-powered lawn tractors, zero turn mowers, walk behind mowers, snow throwers, trimmers, chain saws, utility vehicles and other outdoor power equipment. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has the option to acquire the remaining 80 percent of MTD beginning on July 1, 2021 and ending on January 2, 2029. In the event the option is exercised, the companies have agreed to a valuation multiple based on MTD’s 2018 Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), with an equitable sharing arrangement for future EBITDA growth. The investment in MTD increases the Company's presence in the $20 billion global lawn and garden segment and allows the two companies to work together to pursue revenue and cost opportunities, improve operational efficiency, and introduce new and innovative products for professional and residential outdoor equipment customers, utilizing each company's respective portfolios of strong brands.

Certain Items Impacting Earnings

Throughout MD&A, the Company has provided a discussion of its results both inclusive and exclusive of acquisition-related and other charges. The results and measures, including gross profit and segment profit, on a basis excluding these amounts are considered relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the Company’s results and business trends aside from the material impact of these items. These amounts for the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Second Quarter and Year-To-Date 2020

The Company reported approximately $169 million and $231 million in net pre-tax charges in the second quarter and year-to-date 2020 periods, respectively, which were comprised of the following:

•$43 million and $52 million for the second quarter and year-to-date 2020 periods, respectively, reducing Gross Profit pertaining to a cost reduction program and inventory step-up charges;

The Company continues to believe it is in a strong financial position and has significant flexibility to continue navigating this volatile period. Refer to Financial Condition below and Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Below is a summary of the Company’s operating results at the consolidated level, followed by an overview of business segment performance.

Terminology: The term “organic” is utilized to describe results aside from the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions during their initial 12 months of ownership, and divestitures. This ensures appropriate comparability to operating results of prior periods.

Net Sales: Net sales were $3.147 billion in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $3.761 billion in the second quarter of 2019, representing a decrease of 16%, primarily driven by a 17% decline in volume. Acquisitions, primarily CAM, and price increased sales by 2% and 1%, respectively, while foreign currency decreased sales by 2%. Tools & Storage net sales decreased 16% compared to the second quarter of 2019 due to a 16% decrease in volume and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 1%, partially offset by a 1% increase in price. Industrial net sales decreased 20% compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower volumes of 29% and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 1%, partially offset by acquisition growth of 10%. Net sales in the Security segment declined 11% compared to the second quarter of 2019 due to decreases of 9% in volume, 2% from foreign currency, and 1% from the sale of the Sargent & Greenleaf business, partially offset by a 1% increase in price.

Table of Contents

Net sales were $6.277 billion in the first half of 2020 compared to $7.095 billion in the first half of 2019, representing a decrease of 12%, with a 13% decrease in volume primarily related to impacts from COVID-19, partially offset by a 1% increase in price. Acquisitions increased sales by 2% while foreign currency decreased sales by 2%. Tools & Storage net sales decreased 13% compared to the first half of 2019 due to a 13% decrease in volume and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 1%, partially offset by a 1% increase in price. Industrial net sales decreased 8% compared to the first half of 2019 primarily due to decreases of 20% from lower volumes and 1% from foreign currency, partially offset by an increase of 13% from acquisitions. Net sales in the Security segment declined 7% compared to the first half of 2019 driven by decreases of 5% in volume, 1% from foreign currency and 2% from the sale of the Sargent & Greenleaf business, partially offset by a 1% increase in price.

Gross Profit: Gross profit was $1.013 billion, or 32.2% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.300 billion, or 34.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2019. Acquisition-related and other charges, which reduced gross profit, were $42.6 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and $10.7 million for the three months ended June 29, 2019. Excluding these charges, gross profit was 33.5% of net sales for the three months ended June 27, 2020, compared to 34.8% for the three months ended June 29, 2019, as the impacts from lower volume as well as currency and carryover tariff headwinds were partially offset by price, productivity and strong cost management.

Gross profit was $2.036 billion, or 32.4% of net sales, in the first half of 2020 compared to $2.405 billion, or 33.9% of net sales, in the first half of 2019. Acquisition-related and other charges, which reduced gross profit, were $51.7 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and $17.1 million for the six months ended June 29, 2019. Excluding these charges, gross profit was 33.3% of net sales for the six months ended June 27, 2020, compared to 34.1% for the six months ended June 29, 2019. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by the same factors that impacted the second quarter of 2020, as discussed above.

SG&A Expenses: SG&A, inclusive of the provision for credit losses, was $732.0 million, or 23.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $782.3 million, or 20.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2019. Within SG&A, acquisition-related and other charges totaled $79.2 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and $26.6 million for the three months ended June 29, 2019. Excluding these charges, SG&A was 20.7% of net sales for the three months ended June 27, 2020, compared to 20.1% for the three months ended June 29, 2019, reflecting previously announced cost controls partially offsetting the impact from lower volume.

SG&A, inclusive of the provision for credit losses, was $1.481 billion, or 23.6% of net sales, in the first half of 2020, compared to $1.561 billion, or 22.0% of net sales, in the first half of 2019. Within SG&A, acquisition-related and other charges totaled $109.0 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and $49.6 million for the six months ended June 29, 2019. Excluding these charges, SG&A was 21.9% of net sales for the six months ended June 27, 2020, compared to 21.3% for the six months ended June 29, 2019. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by the same factors that impacted the second quarter of 2020, as discussed above.

Distribution center costs (i.e. warehousing and fulfillment facility and associated labor costs) are classified within SG&A. This classification may differ from other companies who may report such expenses within cost of sales. Due to diversity in practice, to the extent the classification of these distribution costs differs from other companies, the Company’s gross margins may not be comparable.

Corporate Overhead: The corporate overhead element of SG&A, which is not allocated to the business segments, amounted to $78.7 million and $55.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, or 2.5% and 1.5% of net sales in each period. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $20.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 29, 2019, the corporate overhead element of SG&A was 1.9% and 1.4% in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the rate was primarily driven by lower sales.

On a year-to-date basis, the corporate overhead element of SG&A, amounted to $127.6 million, or 2.0% of net sales, in 2020 compared to $105.2 million, or 1.5% of net sales, in 2019. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $31.8 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2019, the corporate overhead element of SG&A was 1.5% in both the first half of 2020 and 2019.

Other, net: Other, net amounted to $86.9 million and $62.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $19.8 million and $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, Other, net totaled $67.1 million and $57.7 million, respectively, during these periods. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to higher intangible amortization expense and negative impacts from foreign currency.

Table of Contents

Other, net amounted to $161.8 million and $127.6 million in the first half of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $38.7 million and $20.6 million in the first half of 2020 and 2019, respectively, Other, net totaled $123.1 million and $107.0 million, respectively, during these periods. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the same factors that impacted the second quarter of 2020, as discussed above.

Gain on Sale of Business: In the second quarter of 2019, the Company reported a pre-tax gain of $17.2 million related to the sale of its Sargent & Greenleaf business.

Interest, net: Net interest expense was $54.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $60.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. On a year-to-date basis, net interest expense was $104.4 million in 2020 compared to $118.1 million in 2019. The year-over-year decrease for both periods was primarily driven by the redemption of the 2052 Junior Subordinated Debentures in December 2019, as well as lower U.S. interest rates and lower average balances relating to the Company's commercial paper borrowings, partially offset by lower interest income.

Income Taxes: The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $117.3 million and $104.4 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (105.6)% and (40.6)%. In the second quarter of 2020, as a result of initiating a supply chain reorganization, the Company recorded a one-time benefit of $118.8 million to reverse a deferred tax liability previously established related to certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries not permanently reinvested. Excluding the impacts of this one-time benefit and the aforementioned acquisition-related and other charges, the effective tax rates were 15.0% and 13.9% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to tax on foreign earnings, the re-measurement of uncertain tax position reserves, an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights, and the tax benefit of equity compensation.

Business Segment Results

The Company’s reportable segments are aggregations of businesses that have similar products, services and end markets, among other factors. The Company utilizes segment profit, which is defined as net sales minus cost of sales and SG&A inclusive of the provision for credit losses (aside from corporate overhead expense), and segment profit as a percentage of net sales to assess the profitability of each segment. Segment profit excludes the corporate overhead expense element of SG&A, other, net (inclusive of intangible asset amortization expense), gain on sale of business, restructuring charges, interest expense, interest income, income taxes and share of net earnings or losses of equity method investment. Corporate overhead is comprised of world headquarters facility expense, cost for the executive management team and expenses pertaining to certain centralized functions that benefit the entire Company but are not directly attributable to the businesses, such as legal and corporate finance functions. Refer to Note O, Restructuring Charges, for the amount of restructuring charges attributable to each segment.

The Company's operations are classified into three reportable business segments, which also represent its operating segments: Tools & Storage, Industrial and Security.

Tools & Storage:


	Second Quarter									Year-to-Date
(Millions of Dollars)	2020			2019			2020			2019
Net sales	$	2,197.2		$	2,626.0		$	4,268.0		$	4,918.3
Segment profit	$	345.1		$	440.0		$	579.9		$	705.8
% of Net sales	15.7		%	16.8		%	13.6		%	14.4		%

Tools & Storage net sales decreased $428.8 million, or 16%, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. Sales volume and foreign currency decreased sales by 16% and 1%, respectively, while price increased sales by 1%. Organic revenues across all regions were impacted by reduced business activity related to COVID-19 with declines in North America of 10%, Europe of 21% and emerging markets of 29%. The North America organic decline was driven by channel inventory reductions and reduced construction activity. Exceptionally strong DIY demand emerged in the global e-commerce

Table of Contents

and North American retail channels during late April and continued throughout the quarter as well as the measured weeks in July, which significantly improved the overall result. Point-of-sale performance of products in these channels rose to all-time high levels in the May, June, and July period while customer stocks are currently at historically low levels. Europe and emerging markets were impacted by decreased economic activity caused by rolling COVID-19 geographic lockdowns, customer closures and diminished consumer confidence. As the quarter progressed, Europe experienced improving demand while emerging markets continued to be mixed.

Net sales decreased $650.3 million, or 13%, in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019. Sales volume and foreign currency decreased sales by 13% and 1%, respectively, while price increased sales by 1%. Organic revenue declines in the first half of 2020 were 9% in North America, 14% in Europe and 22% in emerging markets, primarily due to reduced business activity related to COVID-19.

Segment profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $345.1 million, or 15.7% of net sales, compared to $440.0 million, or 16.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2019. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $28.4 million and $7.5 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, segment profit was 17.0% of net sales in both periods, as the benefits from productivity, swift and effective cost controls and price offset the impacts from lower volume, tariffs and currency.

Segment profit for the first half of 2020 was $579.9 million, or 13.6% of net sales, compared to $705.8 million, or 14.4% of net sales, in the first half of 2019. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $31.5 million and $20.1 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, segment profit was 14.3% of net sales in the first half of 2020 and 14.8% in the first half of 2019, as the benefits from productivity, swift and effective cost controls and price were more than offset by lower volume, tariffs and currency.

Industrial:


	Second Quarter									Year-to-Date
(Millions of Dollars)	2020			2019			2020			2019
Net sales	$	517.5		$	649.9		$	1,108.2		$	1,204.9
Segment profit	$	5.1		$	95.1		$	72.9		$	166.1
% of Net sales	1.0		%	14.6		%	6.6		%	13.8		%

Industrial net sales declined $132.4 million, or 20%, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019, due to decreases of 29% and 1% from volume and foreign currency, respectively, partially offset by an increase of 10% from acquisitions, primarily CAM. The trough of the organic volume decline occurred in April with modest sequential improvement each month since. Engineered Fastening organic revenues were down 35% due to lower global automotive light vehicle and general industrial production. Infrastructure organic revenues were down 19% from lower volumes in Attachment Tools and Oil & Gas.

On a year-to-date basis, net sales decreased $96.7 million, or 8%, in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019, due to decreases of 20% and 1% from volume and foreign currency, partially offset by an increase of 13% from acquisitions. Engineered Fastening organic revenues decreased 22% and Infrastructure organic revenues decreased 14% primarily due to the same factors that impacted the second quarter of 2020, as discussed above.

Industrial segment profit for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $5.1 million, or 1% of net sales, compared to $95.1 million, or 14.6% of net sales, in the corresponding 2019 period. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $40.6 million and $11.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, segment profit amounted to 8.8% of net sales in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 16.4% in the second quarter of 2019, as the significant impact from volume declines was partially mitigated by cost actions.

Year-to-date segment profit for the first half of 2020 totaled $72.9 million, or 6.6% of net sales, compared to $166.1 million, or 13.8% of net sales, in the corresponding 2019 period. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $51.0 million and $17.3 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, segment profit amounted to 11.2% of net sales in the first half of 2020 compared to 15.2% in the first half of 2019. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by the same factors that impacted the second quarter of 2020, as discussed above.

Security net sales decreased $52.7 million, or 11%, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019, due to decreases of 9% in volume, 2% from foreign currency, and 1% from the sale of the Sargent & Greenleaf business, partially offset by a 1% increase in price. North America declined 7% and Europe was down 10% organically. All businesses were impacted by customer restrictions, which were most pronounced early in the second quarter of 2020. The backlog in electronic security remains in a healthy position, up 16%, supporting an anticipated improvement in installation revenues during the second half of 2020.

On a year-to-date basis, net sales decreased $71.1 million, or 7%, in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019, due to decreases of 5% from volume, 2% from the Sargent & Greenleaf divestiture and 1% from foreign currency, partially offset by an increase of 1% in price. North America declined 2% organically and Europe was down 6% organically, primarily due to the same factors that impacted the second quarter of 2020, as discussed above.

Security segment profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $9.2 million, or 2.1% of net sales, compared to $38.0 million, or 7.8% of net sales, in the corresponding 2019 period. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $32.5 million and $16.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, segment profit amounted to 9.6% of net sales in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 11.2% in the second quarter of 2019, as price and cost control were more than offset by lower volume.

Year-to-date segment profit for the first half of 2020 was $30.1 million, or 3.3% of net sales, compared to $77.5 million, or 8.0% of net sales, in the corresponding 2019 period. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $46.4 million and $27.1 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, segment profit amounted to 8.5% of net sales in the first half of 2020 compared to 10.8% in the first half of 2019. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by the same factors that impacted the second quarter of 2020, as discussed above.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

A summary of the restructuring reserve activity from December 28, 2019 to June 27, 2020 is as follows:


(Millions of Dollars)	December 28, 2019		Net Additions		Usage		Currency		June 27, 2020

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity, Sources and Uses of Capital: The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and available lines of credit under various credit facilities.

Operating Activities: Cash flows provided by operations were $328.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $501.0 million in the corresponding period of 2019. Year-to-date cash flows used in operations were $77.0 million compared to cash flows provided by operations of $69.7 million in the corresponding period of 2019. The year-over-year decrease in both periods was mainly attributable to lower earnings as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and higher inventory purchases to establish adequate levels to support a potential demand improvement in the second half of 2020.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow, as defined in the table below, was $263.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $403.8 million in the second quarter of 2019. On a year-to-date basis, free cash flow was an outflow of $224.4 million in 2020 compared to $117.1 million in 2019. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and provide dividends to shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company’s common and preferred stock and business acquisitions, among other items.

As previously discussed, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect the Company's operations, as well as the operations of its customers, distributors, suppliers and contractors, and has resulted in significant volatility and uncertainty in the markets in which the Company operates. Although the Company effectively managed through a multitude of challenges during the second quarter of 2020, the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, results of operations, and liquidity remains uncertain. However, the Company continues to believe it is in a strong financial position as of June 27, 2020 and has significant flexibility to navigate this volatile period as the Company: (a) continues to maintain strong investment grade credit ratings; (b) possesses approximately $900 million of cash on-hand as of June 27, 2020; (c) manages a robust and highly-rated commercial paper program ($3.0 billion program with approximately $700 million outstanding as of June 27, 2020); and (d) carries $3.0 billion of revolving credit facilities backed by a well-capitalized and diverse bank group. In addition, the Company is reducing its capital expenditures and temporarily suspending acquisition-related activity and share repurchases until the demand outlook is clearer. The near-term priority for capital deployment is focused on deleveraging in line with the Company's strong investment grade credit ratings. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investing Activities: Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $56.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to capital and software expenditures of $64.5 million. Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $32.2 million in the second quarter of 2019, driven by capital and software expenditures of $97.2 million, partially offset by $76.7 million of net proceeds primarily from the sale of the Company's Sargent & Greenleaf business.

Year-to-date cash flows used in investing activities totaled $1.421 billion in 2020 primarily due to the CAM acquisition of $1.302 billion, net of cash acquired, and capital and software expenditures of $147.4 million. Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $1.040 billion in the first half of 2019, mainly due to business acquisitions of $676.0 million, primarily related to IES Attachments, purchases of long-term investments of $253.7 million, which mainly related to the 20 percent investment in MTD Holdings Inc., and capital and software expenditures of $186.8 million.

Financing Activities: Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $391.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 primarily driven by net payments on short-term borrowings under the Company's commercial paper program of $980.8 million and cash dividend payments of $105.8 million, partially offset by proceeds from issuances of common stock of $756.7 million. Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $429.9 million in the second quarter of 2019 primarily driven by $330.6 million of net payments on short-term borrowings under the Company's commercial paper program and cash dividend payments of $97.7 million.

Year-to-date cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $2.084 billion in 2020 primarily driven by net proceeds from debt issuances of $1.483 billion, proceeds from issuances of common stock of $801.3 million and net short-term borrowings under the Company's commercial paper program of $371.1 million, partially offset by the Craftsman deferred purchase price

payment of $250.0 million and cash dividend payments of $211.4 million. Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $978.3 million in the first half of 2019 primarily driven by $1.089 billion of net proceeds from short-term borrowings under the Company's commercial paper program due to 2019 acquisition activity, partially offset by cash dividend payments of $195.3 million.

Credit Ratings & Liquidity:

The Company maintains strong investment grade credit ratings from the major U.S. rating agencies on its senior unsecured debt (S&P A, Fitch A-, Moody's Baa1), and its commercial paper program (S&P A-1, Fitch F1, Moody's P-2). There have been no changes to any of the Company's credit ratings during the second quarter of 2020. In the second quarter of 2020, S&P and Fitch revised their outlooks to ‘negative’ from ‘stable’ in response to the potential negative economic effects stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Failure to maintain strong investment grade credit rating levels could adversely affect the Company’s cost of funds, liquidity and access to capital markets, but would not have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access its existing committed credit facilities.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $860 million as of June 27, 2020, comprised of $576 million in the U.S. and $284 million in foreign jurisdictions. As of December 28, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $298 million, comprised of $57 million in the U.S. and $241 million in foreign jurisdictions.

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), the Company's tax liability related to the one-time transition tax associated with unremitted foreign earnings and profits totaled $344 million at June 27, 2020. The Act permits a U.S. company to elect to pay the net tax liability interest-free over a period of up to eight years. The Company has considered the implications of paying the required one-time transition tax and believes it will not have a material impact on its liquidity.

The Company has a $3.0 billion commercial paper program which includes Euro denominated borrowings in addition to U.S. Dollars. As of June 27, 2020, the Company had approximately $698 million of borrowings outstanding of which approximately $300 million in Euro denominated commercial paper was designated as a net investment hedge. As of December 28, 2019, the Company had approximately $336 million of borrowings outstanding representing Euro denominated commercial paper, which was designated as a net investment hedge. Refer to Note I, Financial Instruments, for further discussion.

The Company has a 364-Day $1.0 billion committed credit facility (the "364-Day Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars or Euros and bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and pursuant to the terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of September 9, 2020 or upon termination. The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. The 364-Day Credit Agreement serves as part of the liquidity back-stop for the Company’s $3.0 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program previously discussed. As of June 27, 2020, and December 28, 2019, the Company had not drawn on its 364-Day committed credit facility.

In February 2020, the Company issued $750 million of senior unsecured term notes maturing March 15, 2030 ("2030 Term Notes") and $750 million of fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated debentures maturing March 15, 2060 (“2060 Junior Subordinated Debentures”). The 2030 Term Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 2.3% per annum, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The 2060 Junior Subordinated Debentures bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, up to but excluding March 15, 2025. From and including March 15, 2025, the interest rate will be reset for each subsequent five-year reset period equal to the Five-Year Treasury Rate plus 2.657%. The Five-Year Treasury Rate is based on the average yields on actively traded U.S. treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity, for five-year maturities. On each five-year reset date, the 2060 Junior Subordinated Debentures can be called at par value. The 2060 Junior Subordinated Debentures are unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt. The Company received total net proceeds from these offerings of approximately $1.483 billion, net of underwriting expenses and other fees associated with the transactions. The net proceeds from the offerings were used for general corporate purposes, including acquisition funding.

In November 2019, the Company issued 7,500,000 Equity Units with a total notional value of $750 million ("2019 Equity Units"). Each unit has a stated amount of $100 and initially consisted of a three-year forward stock purchase contract ("2022 Purchase Contracts") for the purchase of a variable number of shares of common stock, on November 15, 2022, for a price of $100, and a 10% beneficial ownership interest in one share of 0% Series D Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share ("Series D Preferred Stock"). The Company received approximately $735 million in cash proceeds from the 2019 Equity Units, net of offering expenses and underwriting costs and commissions, and issued 750,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, recording $750 million in preferred stock. The proceeds were used, together with cash on hand, to redeem the 2052 Junior Subordinated Debentures in December 2019. The Company also used $19 million of the proceeds to enter into capped call transactions utilized to hedge potential economic dilution. On and after November 15, 2022, the Series D Preferred Stock may be converted into common stock at the option of the holder. At the election of the Company, upon conversion, the Company may deliver cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. On or after December 22, 2022, the Company may elect to redeem for cash, all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. If the Company calls the Series D Preferred Stock for redemption, holders may convert their shares immediately preceding the redemption date. Upon settlement of the 2022 Purchase Contracts, the Company will receive additional cash proceeds of $750 million. The Company pays the holders of the 2022 Purchase Contracts quarterly contract adjustment payments, which commenced February 15, 2020. As of June 27, 2020, the present value of the contract adjustment payments was approximately $95 million.

In March 2018, the Company purchased from a financial institution “at-the-money” capped call options with an approximate term of three years, on 3.2 million shares of its common stock (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) for an aggregate premium of $57 million. In February 2020, the Company net-share settled 0.6 million of the 3.2 million capped call options on its common stock and received 61,767 shares using an average reference price of $162.26 per common share. On June 9, 2020, the Company amended the 2018 capped call options to align with and offset the potential economic dilution associated with the common shares issuable upon conversion of the remarketed Series C Preferred Stock, as further discussed below. Subsequent to the amendment, the capped call options had an initial lower strike price of $148.34 and an upper strike price of $165.00, which was approximately 30% higher than the closing price of the Company's common stock on June 9, 2020. As of June 27, 2020, the lower and upper strike prices remained $148.34 and $165.00. The aggregate fair value of the options at June 27, 2020 was $25.4 million.

In May 2017, the Company issued 7,500,000 Equity Units with a total notional value of $750 million ("2017 Equity Units"). Each unit had a stated amount of $100 and initially consisted of a three-year forward stock purchase contract ("2020 Purchase Contracts") for the purchase of a variable number of shares of common stock, on May 15, 2020, for a price of $100, and a 10% beneficial ownership interest in one share of 0% Series C Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share ("Series C Preferred Stock"). The Company received approximately $726 million in cash proceeds from the 2017 Equity Units, net of offering expenses and underwriting costs and commissions, and issued 750,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, recording $750 million in preferred stock. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of short-term borrowings. The Company also used $25 million of the proceeds to enter into capped call transactions utilized to hedge potential economic dilution.

In May 2020, the Company successfully remarketed the Series C Preferred Stock, as described more fully in Note J, Equity Arrangements. The remarketing generated cash proceeds of $750.0 million which were applied to settle the holders' stock purchase contract obligations, resulting in the Company issuing 5,463,750 common shares. Holders of the remarketed Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, if declared by the Board of Directors, at an initial fixed rate equal to 5.0% per annum of the $1,000 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $50.00 per annum per share). In connection

with the remarketing, the conversion rate was reset to 6.7352 shares of the Company's common stock, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $148.47 per share. As of June 27, 2020, due to customary anti-dilution provisions, the conversion rate was 6.7411, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $148.34 per share of common stock. On and after May 15, 2020, the Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into common stock at the option of the holder. At the election of the Company, upon conversion, the Company may deliver cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock prior to May 15, 2021. At the election of the Company, on or after May 15, 2021, the Company may redeem for cash, all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. If the Company calls the Series C Preferred Stock for redemption, holders may convert their shares immediately preceding the redemption date.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has resulted in significant volatility and uncertainty in the markets in which the Company operates. The Company is unable to predict or determine the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic may ultimately have on its exposure to market risk from foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, stock prices, bond prices and commodity prices, amongst others. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of this Form 10-Q and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 for further discussion.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 27, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In February 2020, the Company acquired Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing, LLC ("CAM") for an estimated purchase price of approximately $1.46 billion. Management's assessment of, and conclusion on, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excludes the internal controls of CAM. As part of the ongoing integration activities, the Company will complete an assessment of existing controls and incorporate its controls and procedures into CAM.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims, including product liability, environmental and distributor claims, and administrative proceedings. The Company does not expect that the resolution of these matters will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risk factors disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2020 ("Form 10-K") and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2020 should be considered together with information included in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, and should not be considered the only risks to which the Company is exposed. The Company is providing the following additional information regarding potential risks associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Except for such additional information, the Company believes there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2020.

The continued adverse effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak could have a materially negative impact on the Company's operations, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity, the nature and extent of which is highly uncertain.

The impact of the novel strain of the coronavirus identified in China in late 2019 has grown throughout the world, including in the United States, and governmental authorities have implemented numerous measures attempting to contain and mitigate the effects of the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders and shutdowns. These measures are adversely affecting and may continue to adversely affect the Company's workforce and operations and the operations of its customers, distributors, suppliers and contractors. There is significant uncertainty regarding such measures and potential future measures, and restrictions on the Company's access to its manufacturing facilities or on its support operations or workforce, or similar limitations for its distributors and suppliers, could limit customer demand and/or the Company's capacity to meet customer demand, which could have a material negative impact on its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a sustained downturn in customer demand or other economic conditions could result in material charges related to bad debt or inventory write-offs, restructuring charges, or impairments of long-lived assets, including both tangible and intangible assets. Furthermore, a sustained downturn in financial markets and asset values could adversely affect the Company’s cost of capital, liquidity and access to capital markets, in addition to potentially increasing its pension funding obligations to ensure its pension plans continue to be adequately funded.

In addition, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused the Company to modify its business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and the Company may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that the Company determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, distributors, suppliers and contractors. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, and the Company's ability to perform critical functions could be harmed. The continued spread of COVID-19 has and may continue to cause disruptions in the Company's supply chain, cause delay, or limit the ability of, customers to continue to operate and perform, including in making timely payments to the Company, result in the Company's inability to meet its consumers' and customers' needs due to disruptions in manufacturing and supply arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential manufacturing and supply elements, and cause other unpredictable events. Furthermore, as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has initiated certain cost reduction measures including adjustments to its supply chain and manufacturing labor base to match the current demand environment and reductions in staffing, compensation and benefits in a manner that prepares the Company for a demand recovery at the appropriate time. These cost reduction measures may not prove to be successful and the Company may need to undertake further measures that could adversely impact its business and/or its ability to ramp up operations in a timely manner.

The continued spread of COVID-19 has caused, and may continue to cause, significant reductions in demand or significant volatility in demand for the Company’s products. The degree to which COVID-19 affects the Company's results and operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. As a result, the Company anticipates that COVID-19 driven demand disruptions and related events will negatively affect the Company's financial results in 2020.
