NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


Note 1:	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tupperware Brands Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively “Tupperware” or the “Company”, with all intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited 2014 financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2014.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared following the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the Company's opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the balance sheet, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Venezuela Foreign Currency Translation: The bolivar to U.S. dollar exchange rates used in translating the Company’s 2014 operating activity were 6.3 in the first quarter, 10.8 in the second quarter and 50.0 in the second half of 2014 and in January 2015. In February 2015, the Venezuelan government launched an overhaul of its foreign currency exchange structure for obtaining U.S. dollars, introducing the Simadi mechanism. The Company used rates determined under this mechanism of 172.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to translate its February 2015 operating activity and 190.0 to translate March 2015 operating activity and the end of March balance sheet of Venezuela. The Company used a rate of 198.0 as of the end of the second quarter of 2015. The Company expects to continue to use the Simadi rate to translate future operating activity. The expense of re-measuring the net monetary assets and recording in cost of sales inventory at the exchange rate when it was purchased or manufactured was $1.8 million and $22.2 million for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $11.1 million and $35.7 million for the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively. The amounts related to remeasurement are included in other expense.

As of June 27, 2015, the Company had approximately $2 million of net monetary assets in Venezuela, which were of a nature that would generate income or expense associated with future exchange rate fluctuations versus the U.S. dollar. In addition, there were $25.5 million in cumulative foreign currency translation losses related to Venezuela included in equity within the consolidated balance sheets.


Note 2:	Shipping and Handling Costs

The cost of products sold line item includes costs related to the purchase and manufacture of goods sold by the Company. Among these costs are inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, depreciation expense, internal transfer costs and warehousing costs of raw material, work in process and packing materials. The warehousing and distribution costs of finished goods are included in delivery, sales and administrative expense (“DS&A”). Distribution costs are comprised of outbound freight and associated labor costs. Fees billed to customers associated with the distribution of products are classified as revenue. The distribution costs included in DS&A expense for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 were $35.8 million and $41.3 million, respectively, and $70.5 million and $80.0 million for the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively.

Note 3:	Promotional Costs

The Company frequently makes promotional offers to members of its independent sales force to encourage them to fulfill specific goals or targets for sales levels, party attendance, recruiting of new sales force members or other business-critical functions. The awards offered are in the form of cash, product awards, special prizes or trips.

The Company accrues for the costs of these awards during the period over which the sales force qualifies for the award and reports these costs primarily as a component of DS&A expense. These accruals require estimates as to the cost of the awards, based upon estimates of achievement and actual cost to be incurred. During the qualification period, actual results are monitored, and changes to the original estimates are made when known. Promotional and other sales force compensation expenses included in DS&A expense totaled $97.8 million and $111.4 million for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $199.8 million and $225.2 million for the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively.

Pretax amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss that related to cash flow hedges consisted of net gains of $8.5 million and $3.2 million for the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively. Associated with these items were tax provisions of $1.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. See Note 10 for further discussion of derivatives.

For the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, pretax amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to pension and other post-retirement items consisted of prior service benefits of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and actuarial losses of $2.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For the period ended June 27, 2015, there were pension settlement costs of $0.4 million. There were no such costs for the period ended June 28, 2014. The tax benefit associated with these items was $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. See Note 12 for further discussion of pension and other post-retirement benefit costs.


Note 7:	Re-engineering and Impairment Costs

The Company recorded $1.5 million and $3.4 million in re-engineering charges during the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $4.2 million and $5.7 million for the respective year-to-date periods. In both years, these charges were primarily related to severance costs incurred for headcount reductions in several of the Company’s operations in connection with changes in its management and organizational structures, and in 2014, the decision to cease operating the Armand Dupree business in the United States.

The balances included in accrued liabilities related to re-engineering and impairment charges as of June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014 were as follows:



(In millions)	June 27, 2015			December 27, 2014
Beginning of the year balance	$	2.4		$	2.6
Provision	4.2			11.0
Non-cash charges	—			(1.8		)
Cash expenditures:
Severance	(4.2		)	(7.1		)
Other	(0.9		)	(2.3		)
End of period balance	$	1.5		$	2.4

The accrual balance as of June 27, 2015, related primarily to severance payments to be made by the end of the third quarter of 2015. In connection with the decisions to cease operating the Armand Dupree business in the United States and the Nutrimetics business in Thailand, the Company recorded $1.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in cost of sales for inventory obsolescence during the first half of 2014.

In February 2015, the Venezuelan government launched an overhaul of its foreign currency exchange structure and created a new exchange mechanism called Simadi that has provided an exchange rate significantly lower than the rate available to the Company under the previous SICAD 2 mechanism. As a result, and based on the perceived impact of this change to the operations of its Venezuelan unit, the Company deemed this change to be a triggering event to evaluate the $15.7 million of long-term fixed assets in Venezuela. This evaluation involved performing an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if the carrying value of the assets were recoverable and whether the amount included on the balance sheet was greater than fair value. The Company considered many economic and operating factors, including uncertainty surrounding the interpretation and enforcement of certain product pricing restrictions in Venezuela, the inability to obtain the necessary raw materials locally to meet production demands and the significant decline in the global price of oil. Due to the decline of the global price of oil, the Venezuelan government has not made U.S. dollars widely available through any of the exchange mechanisms it has had in place. Given the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar compared with the U.S. dollar, and the lack of U.S dollars available to use for the purchase of raw materials from on-going operations, the Company did not believe it would be able to operate the business profitably. As a result, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the long-term fixed assets in Venezuela was not recoverable. The Company then estimated the fair value of the long-term fixed assets using estimated selling prices available in Venezuela. The primary assets that were considered to continue to maintain a marketable value in Venezuela included commercial office space, a show room and parking spaces. As a result of this evaluation in the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $13.5 million to reduce the long-term fixed asset carrying value in Venezuela to the estimated fair value of $2.2 million, which is considered a non-recurring Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.


Note 8:	Segment Information

The Company manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of products, primarily through independent direct sales consultants. Certain operating segments have been aggregated based upon consistency of economic substance, geography, products, production process, class of customers and distribution method.

Credit Agreement

On June 9, 2015, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Tupperware International Holdings B.V. (the “Subsidiary Borrower”), entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment”) to their multicurrency Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 11, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of June 2, 2014 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The terms and structure of the Credit Agreement remain largely the same. The Amendment (i) reduced the aggregate amount available to the Company and the Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit Agreement from $650 million to $600 million (the “Facility Amount”), (ii) extended the final maturity date of the Credit Agreement from September 11, 2018 to June 9, 2020, and (iii) amends the applicable margins for borrowings and the commitment fee to be generally more favorable for the Company. The Credit Agreement continues to provide (a) a revolving credit facility, available up to the full amount of the Facility Amount, (b) a letter of credit facility, available up to $50 million of the Facility Amount, and (c) a swingline facility, available up to $100 million of the Facility Amount. Each of such facilities is fully available to the Company and is available to the Subsidiary Borrower up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $325 million. The Company is permitted to increase, on up to three occasions, the Facility Amount by a total of up to $200 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $800 million), subject to certain conditions.

Loans made under the Credit Agreement bear interest under a formula that includes, at the Company's option, one of three different base rates. The Company generally selects the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") for the applicable currency and interest period as its base for its interest rate. As provided in the Credit Agreement, a margin is added to the base. The applicable margin is determined by a pricing schedule and is based upon the better for the Company of (a) the ratio (the "Consolidated Leverage Ratio") of the consolidated funded indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries to the consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries for the four fiscal quarters then most recently ended, or (b) the Company’s then existing long-term debt securities rating by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Financial Services, Inc. As of June 27, 2015, the Company had a weighted average interest rate on outstanding LIBOR based borrowings of 1.51 percent under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement has customary financial covenants related to interest coverage and leverage. These restrictions are not expected to impact the Company's operations. As of June 27, 2015, and currently, the Company had considerable cushion under its financial covenants.


Note 10:	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of its international operations. Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company's local manufacturing in many markets, a strengthening U.S. dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company uses financial instruments to hedge certain of its exposures and to manage the foreign exchange impact to its financial statements. At its inception, a derivative financial instrument used for hedging is designated as a fair value, cash flow or net equity hedge.

Fair value hedges are entered into with financial instruments such as forward contracts, with the objective of limiting exposure to certain foreign exchange risks primarily associated with accounts payable and non-permanent intercompany transactions. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company excludes forward points, which are considered to be a component of interest expense. The forward points on fair value hedges resulted in pretax gains of $3.7 million and $2.8 million in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $6.4 million and $5.2 million for the respective year-to-date periods.

The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from certain forecasted purchases and classifies these as cash flow hedges. At initiation, the Company's cash flow hedge contracts are for periods ranging from one to fifteen months. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings as the transactions being hedged are recorded. As such, the balance at the end of the reporting period in other comprehensive income, related to cash flow hedges, will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. The associated asset or liability on the open hedges is recorded in other current assets or accrued liabilities, as applicable. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company excludes forward points, which are included as a component of interest expense.

The Company also uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts and certain euro denominated borrowings under the Company's Credit Agreement, to hedge a portion of its net equity investment in international operations and classifies these as net equity hedges. Changes in the value of these financial instruments, excluding any ineffective portion of the hedges, are included in foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company recorded, net of tax, a net gain associated with these hedges, in other comprehensive income of $6.9 million and $26.4 million in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2015, respectively, and a net loss of $0.5 million and $3.8 million for the respective periods of 2014. Due to the permanent nature of the investments, the Company does not anticipate reclassifying any portion of these amounts to the income statement in the next twelve months. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company excludes forward points, which are included as a component of interest expense.

While the Company's net equity and fair value hedges of non-permanent intercompany balances mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled, whereas the hedged items do not generate offsetting cash flows. The net cash flow impact of these currency hedges were outflows of $5.1 million and $0.6 million for the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively.

The Company considers the total notional value of its forward contracts as the best measure of the volume of derivative transactions. As of June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014, the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to purchase currencies were $84.5 million and $185.1 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to sell currencies were $89.4 million and $184.2 million, respectively. As of June 27, 2015, the notional values of the largest positions outstanding were to purchase euro $54.2 million and to sell Indonesian rupiah $15.2 million.

The following table summarizes the Company's derivative positions, which are the only assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and the impact they had on the Company's financial position as of June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014.

Note 11:	Fair Value Measurements

Due to their short maturities or their insignificance, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximated their fair values at June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014. The Company estimates that, based on current market conditions, the value of its 4.750% 2021 Senior Notes was $628.0 million at June 27, 2015, compared with the carrying value of $599.3 million. The higher fair value resulted from changes, since issuance, in the corporate bond market and investor preferences. The fair value of debt is classified as a Level 2 liability, and is estimated using quoted market prices as provided in secondary markets which consider the Company's credit risk and market related conditions. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the Company's derivative instruments and related fair value measurements.


Note 12:	Retirement Benefit Plans

Components of net periodic benefit cost for the second quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 were as follows:

During the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, approximately $1.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of pretax expenses were reclassified from other comprehensive income to a component of net periodic benefit cost. As they relate to foreign plans, the Company uses current exchange rates to make these reclassifications. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is included on the net amortization line of the table above.


Note 13:	Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 28.3 percent for both the second quarter and year-to-date period of 2015 compared with 32.0 percent and 29.1 percent, respectively, for the comparable 2014 periods. The higher 2014 rates were due to higher 2014 losses incurred related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar for which no tax benefit could be recognized. In addition, the Company reported favorable audit settlements in various jurisdictions in the second quarter of 2015 that impacted the rate. The effective tax rates are below the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to lower foreign effective tax rates.

As of June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefit was $20.5 million and $22.5 million, respectively. The Company estimates that approximately $18.4 million of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the Company's global operations are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties were $4.8 million and $6.5 million as of June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively. During 2015, the accrual for uncertain tax positions decreased by $2.3 million primarily as a result of the Company agreeing to audit settlements with various jurisdictions, $1.3 million of which reduced the accrual for interest and penalties. The accrual for uncertain tax positions also increased for positions being taken in various global tax filings, and decreased due to the impact of net weaker foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar.

The Company estimates that it may settle one or more foreign audits in the next twelve months that may result in a decrease in the amount of accrual for uncertain tax positions of up to $1.0 million. For the remaining balance as of June 27, 2015, the Company is not able to reliably estimate the timing or ultimate settlement amount. While the Company does not currently expect material changes, it is possible that the amount of unrecognized benefit with respect to the uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease related to audits in various foreign jurisdictions that may conclude during that period or new developments including changes in laws that could also, in turn, impact the Company's assessment relative to the establishment of valuation allowances against certain existing deferred tax assets. These valuation allowances relate to tax assets in jurisdictions where it is management's best estimate that there is not a greater than 50 percent probability that the benefit of the assets will be realized in the associated tax returns. The likelihood of realizing the benefit of deferred tax assets is assessed on an ongoing basis. This assessment requires estimates as to future operating results, as well as an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's tax planning strategies. At this time, the Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate of the range of impact on the balance of unrecognized tax benefits or the impact on the effective tax rate related to these items.


Note 14:	Statement of Cash Flow Supplemental Disclosure

Under the Company's stock incentive programs, employees are allowed to use shares retained by the Company to satisfy U.S. minimum statutorily required withholding taxes. In the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, 12,300 and 87,290 shares, respectively, were retained to fund withholding taxes, with values totaling $0.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively, which were included as a component of stock repurchases in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a joint venture with a real estate development partner. The Company contributed land to the joint venture in exchange for 50 percent ownership of the joint venture. The carrying value of the land was $3.1 million. The Company's ownership interest in the joint venture is accounted for using the equity method and was included in long-term other assets on the June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014 balance sheets at the carrying value of the contributed land. The Company does not expect to have any significant cash inflows or outflows related to the joint venture until such time as the joint venture completes and sells its development.

There were no capital lease arrangements initiated in the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 or June 28, 2014.

Note 18:	New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance regarding revenue from contracts with customers. The amendment outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB voted to approve amendments that would defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The amendment also allows early adoption of the revenue standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this amendment on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance regarding consolidation for reporting organizations such as limited partnerships and other similar entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this amendment to have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adopted this amendment retrospectively effective March 28, 2015. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance providing a practical expedient for entities with fiscal year-ends that do not fall on a month-end by permitting those entities to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the month-end that is closest to the entity's fiscal year-end. The Company adopted this amendment prospectively effective March 28, 2015. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance regarding accounting for fees in a cloud computing arrangement. Under the amendment, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the entity should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the entity should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company adopted this amendment prospectively effective March 28, 2015. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance simplifying the measurement of inventory. Under the amendment, inventory should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2015, compared with the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 28, 2014, and changes in financial condition during the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2015.

The Company's primary means of distributing its products is through independent sales organizations and individuals, which in many cases are also its customers. The vast majority of the Company's products are, in turn, sold to end customers who are not members of its sales force. The Company is largely dependent upon these independent sales organizations and individuals to reach end consumers, and any significant disruption of this distribution network would have a negative financial impact on the Company and its ability to generate sales, earnings and operating cash flows. The Company's primary business drivers are the size, activity, diversity and productivity of its independent sales organizations.

As the impacts of foreign currency translation are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, the Company believes the presentation of results on a local currency basis, as a supplement to reported results, helps improve readers' ability to understand the Company's operating results and evaluate performance in comparison with prior periods. The Company presents local currency information that compares results between periods as if current period exchange rates had been the exchange rates in the prior period. The Company uses results on a local currency basis as one measure to evaluate performance. The Company generally refers to such amounts as calculated on a "local currency" basis, or "excluding the impact of foreign currency." These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Results on a local currency basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Sales decreased 13 percent in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 4 percent. The Company defines established market economies as those in Western Europe (including Scandinavia), Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States. All other countries are classified as having emerging market economies. The Company's businesses operating in emerging market economies achieved strong growth in the quarter with an 8 percent sales increase in local currency. The Company's units that operate in established economy markets, as a group, had a 2 percent sales decrease in local currency compared with 2014.

Net income increased in the second quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting $20.4 million lower expenses in connection with devaluation of the currency exchange rate in Venezuela, as well as 2015 pretax gains of $10.5 million from land transactions in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impacts of these items, along with changes in other foreign currency exchange rates, net income increased in the second quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting increased segment profit in South America, as well as strong increases in Beauty North America, Europe and Tupperware North America. These were partially offset by decreased segment profit in Asia Pacific.

Reported sales for the year-to-date period decreased 12 percent compared with the same period of 2014. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 4 percent. The factors impacting the year-to-date sales and net income comparisons were similar to those impacting the second quarter comparisons, except for a $13.5 million impairment of the long-term fixed assets in Venezuela during the first quarter of 2015, as well as a slight decrease in year-to-date segment profit in Europe. The expense for items on the balance sheet in Venezuela in the year-to-date periods of 2015 and 2014 was $11.1 million and $35.7 million, respectively.

The Company's net working capital position increased by $32.7 million, compared with the end of 2014, primarily reflecting a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments around year-end, partially offset by the net impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's working capital.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 was $24.1 million and $44.1 million, respectively. The unfavorable comparison primarily reflected larger outflows of cash in connection with payments around year-end of higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities at the end of 2014 relative to the end of 2013, along with the negative impact on net income of translation foreign exchange, partially offset by a much lower outflow from increased inventory.

Net Sales

Reported sales decreased 13 percent in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 4 percent.

The Company's emerging market units accounted for 67 percent and 66 percent of the Company's reported sales for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sales in these markets decreased $50.9 million, or 11 percent, which included a negative $79.0 million impact from weaker foreign currency exchange rates. The strong increase in local currency sales in the Company's emerging market units was primarily in Brazil, due to a significant increase in sales force size and productivity, China due to significant growth in the number of outlets along with some improvement in sales per outlet, and the Company's businesses in the Middle East and North Africa, due to a larger sales force, as well as favorable timing impacts. Also contributing to the increase was inflation related pricing in Argentina, the benefit of larger sales forces in Korea and Tupperware Mexico, as well as a more active sales force in the Philippines. The sales growth in these units was partially offset by a decrease in Indonesia due to low orders from stocking distributors in relation to the sales force's sell through to the end consumers. The average impact of higher prices in the emerging market units was 5 percent.

Sales in the established market units decreased $34.6 million, or 15 percent, which included a negative $31.5 million impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Among these units, the most significant local currency decrease was in France, reflecting a less active sales force. In addition, BeautiControl and Italy had lower sales reflecting less active and productive sales forces. This was partially offset by a significant increase in Germany due to a larger and more productive sales force, as well as a strong increase in Tupperware United States and Canada, reflecting a larger sales force. The average price increase in the established market units was 1 percent.

On a year-to-date basis, emerging markets accounted for 67 percent and 65 percent of total Company sales in 2015 and 2014, respectively. Total sales on a reported basis in the emerging markets decreased $88.4 million, including a negative $146.6 million impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased in these markets by 8 percent. Total sales for the established markets decreased $78.5 million, or 17 percent, for the year-to-date period of 2015, compared with the same period of 2014, which included a negative $63.6 million impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The sources of the year-to-date fluctuations largely followed those of the second quarter comparison, along with lower year-to-date sales in Japan, as well as the loss of sales in light of the decision to cease operating the Armand Dupree business in the United States in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, local currency sales in Germany were relatively even on a year-to-date basis.

A more detailed discussion of the sales results by reporting segment is included in the segment results section below.

As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company includes promotional costs in delivery, sales and administrative expense (DS&A). As a result, the Company's net sales may not be comparable with other companies that treat these costs as a reduction of revenue.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 67.9 percent and 66.5 percent in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase of 1.4 percentage points ("pp") primarily reflected the benefit of a smaller impact of inventory in Venezuela being included in cost of goods sold in 2015 at its stronger, historical exchange rate rather than the rate used to translate its sales in the quarter (0.8 pp) and lower resin costs (0.4 pp).

For the year-to-date periods, gross margin as a percentage of sales was 67.5 percent in 2015, compared with 66.6 percent for the same period of 2014. The factors leading to the 0.9 percentage point increase largely mirrored those of the second quarter.

Table of Contents

As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company includes costs related to the distribution of its products in DS&A. As a result, the Company's gross margin may not be comparable with other companies that include these costs in costs of products sold.

Costs and Expenses

DS&A as a percentage of sales was 52.7 percent in the second quarter of 2015, compared with 51.7 percent in 2014. This increase primarily reflected the translation effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the impact of overall dollar denominated costs as a ratio of sales in light of weaker foreign exchange rates (1.8 pp), partially offset by lower relative commission expense due to the mix of sales performances in units that pay commissions versus those that do not (0.3 pp) and lower cost of operations, primarily employee benefit costs in Europe (0.5 pp).

For the year-to-date periods, DS&A as a percentage of sales also increased to 53.3 percent from 51.8 percent in 2014. The increase primarily reflected the same currency translation effect as in the second quarter (1.7 pp).

Specific segment impacts are discussed in the segment results section.

Re-engineering Costs

Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of re-engineering activities and related accruals.

For the remainder of 2015, the Company expects to incur approximately $7 million of such costs.

Fixed Asset Impairment

In February 2015, the Venezuelan government launched an overhaul of its foreign currency exchange structure, eliminating the SICAD 2 mechanism that the Company had referenced for translating and measuring its financial statements, replacing it with a new exchange mechanism called Simadi. During the first quarter of 2015, Simadi published a rate that was approximately 75 percent lower than the final SICAD 2 rate, that was expected to, and subsequently has, severely reduced the unit’s sales and profit. As a result, the Company deemed this change to be a triggering event to evaluate the $15.7 million of long-term fixed assets in Venezuela, which had continued to be included on the balance sheet at the historical rates in effect when the assets were purchased. As a result of this evaluation, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $13.5 million to reduce the carrying value of its long-term fixed assets in Venezuela in the first quarter of 2015.

See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the circumstances leading to the triggering event and the impairment conclusion.

A more detailed description of the changes in the Venezuelan exchange mechanisms and the resulting impacts on the Company is provided below in the discussion of the South America segment.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense was $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $11.1 million in 2014. In the year-to-date periods, net interest expense was $24.3 million in 2015, compared with $22.8 million in 2014. Interest expense increased in each of the year-over-year comparisons primarily due to forward points related to the Company's cash flow hedges.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 28.3 percent for both the second quarter and year-to-date period of 2015 compared with 32.0 percent and 29.1 percent, respectively, for the 2014 periods. The higher 2014 rates were due to higher 2014 expenses incurred related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar for which no tax benefit could be recognized. In addition, the Company reported favorable audit settlements in various jurisdictions in the second quarter of 2015 that impacted the rate. The effective tax rates are below the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to lower foreign effective tax rates.

As discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company's uncertain tax positions increase the potential for volatility in its tax rate. As such, it is reasonably possible that the effective tax rates in any individual quarter will vary from the full year expectation. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate what impact that may have on any individual quarter.

Net Income

Net income in the second quarter of 2015 increased $14.4 million compared with 2014. The increase in net income was primarily due to $20.4 million less in expenses in connection with items on the balance sheet and the weakening of the currency exchange rate in Venezuela, as well as pretax gains of $10.5 million from land transactions in the second quarter of 2015, partially offset by the negative $20.4 million translation impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, including currency devaluations in Venezuela. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the items noted above, net income increased in the second quarter of 2015, reflecting improved margins on higher sales in South America, primarily in Argentina and Brazil, the contribution margin on higher sales and lower operating costs in Europe, mainly in Germany and the Middle East and North Africa, as well as the contribution margin on higher sales in Tupperware North America. Beauty North America also increased income slightly as a result of changes to the value chain in BeautiControl. These contributions to net income were partially offset by a slight decrease in Asia Pacific despite slightly higher sales with decreased margins in Tupperware Australia and increased manufacturing costs due to lower volume.

Net income for the year-to-date period of 2015 decreased $8.3 million compared with the same period of 2014, including a negative $37.5 million translation impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, including currency devaluations in Venezuela in 2014 and the first half of 2015. The factors impacting the year-to-date net income comparisons were similar to those impacting the second quarter comparisons, except for the $13.5 million impairment of the long-term fixed assets in Venezuela during the first quarter of 2015, as well as a slight decrease in year-to-date segment profit in Europe. The expense for items on the balance sheet in Venezuela in the year-to-date periods of 2015 and 2014 was $11.1 million and $35.7 million, respectively.

International operations generated 90 percent and 91 percent of sales in the second quarter and year-to-date period of 2015, respectively, compared with 92 percent of sales in each of the respective periods in 2014. International operations, as a group, generated 97 percent and 99 percent of net segment profit in the second quarter and year-to-date period of 2015, respectively, compared with 100 percent of net segment profit in each of the respective periods in 2014.

The sale of beauty products generated 20 percent of sales in each of the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2015 and 2014.

Reported sales decreased 16 percent compared with the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 3 percent. The increased sales reflected a 2 percent increase in volume and an average price increase of 1 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2014.

Emerging markets accounted for $62.3 million and $66.1 million, or 40 and 36 percent, of the reported sales in the segment in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. On a local currency basis, the emerging market units' sales increased by 15 percent, primarily reflecting a significant increase in the Middle East and North Africa due to a larger, more active sales force as a result of successful recruiting campaigns, as well as timing shift benefits in light of the 2015 holiday calendar and fulfillment delays as of the end of the first quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2014 due to import restrictions. In addition, Avroy Shlain, the Company's beauty business in South Africa, had a significant increase in sales due to strong recruiting results that increased the sales force size and consequently the volume of products sold, while Tupperware South Africa also had a strong increase in sales due to the effective design of its promotional programs to increase sales force activity.

The established market units' sales decreased by 3 percent on a local currency basis, reflecting a decrease in volume in France, as a result of the lingering impacts on sales force recruiting and party scheduling from the terrorist attacks in January that led to party cancellations and lower sales force activity. Italy also had lower sales, reflecting lower sales force activity and productivity. These decreases were partially offset by Germany, reflecting a larger and more productive sales force in light of improved sales force recruiting and development concepts.

Segment profit decreased $1.5 million, or 5 percent, in the second quarter of 2015 versus 2014, and excluding the impact of foreign currency, was 17 percent higher. The increase was primarily due to the contribution margin on higher sales in Germany and the Middle East and North Africa, as well as lower employee benefits costs, partially offset by the lost contribution margin in France and Italy.

On a year-to-date basis, reported sales and segment profit decreased 18 percent compared with 2014. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales in 2015 were even with 2014, while segment profit was down slightly. The factors impacting the year-to-date sales and net income comparisons are largely the same as those impacting the quarterly comparison except that the positive impacts from the second quarter of 2015 were not enough to overcome the results of the first quarter.

Reported sales decreased 8 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 1 percent. The average price increase for the segment was 2 percent, partially offset by a decrease in volume.

Emerging markets accounted for $160.6 million and $168.3 million, or 83 and 80 percent, of the reported sales in the segment in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Compared with 2014, sales in emerging markets in 2015 were negatively impacted by $11.4 million from changes in foreign currency rates. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency rates, sales in these units increased 2 percent. The most significant contribution to the increase was in China, where the Company operates a retail outlet model through independent distributors. The increase primarily related to higher volume and productivity due to a positive response to new distributor and outlet incentive programs and promotional offerings. Also contributing to the increase in sales were a larger sales force in Korea from strong recruiting and a more active sales force in the Philippines in connection with a strong product line-up and more focused selling approach. The sales growth in these units was partially offset by a decrease in Indonesia due to low orders from stocking distributors in relation to the sales force's sell through to the end consumers in light of excess inventory from less active sales force earlier in the year.

Reported sales in the established markets decreased 23 percent compared with the second quarter of 2014, including a $6.9 million impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 8 percent compared with 2014, primarily in Tupperware Australia from a less active and productive sales force in response to the design of awards for party hostesses.

Total segment profit decreased 11 percent compared with the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency rates, segment profit decreased 3 percent. The decrease was primarily related to the lower sales with lower margins in Tupperware Australia and increased manufacturing costs due to lower volume. This was partially offset by the contribution margin on the higher sales in China.

The year-to-date sales and segment profit variances largely mirrored those of the quarter, except the decrease in profit in Indonesia from lower sales had a larger impact on the year-to-date comparison.

The Australian dollar, Indonesian rupiah, Japanese yen and Malaysian ringgit were the main currencies that led to the negative foreign currency impact on the year-over-year sales comparisons, while only the Indonesian rupiah significantly impacted the profit comparisons.

Reported sales in the second quarter of 2015 were even with the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 9 percent. The increase was mainly in the United States and Canada due to a larger and more active sales force that increased the volume of products sold. Mexico also increased sales due to a larger sales force from incentives geared to retention, as well as improved productivity in connection with attractive promotional offerings. The average price increase for the segment was 3 percent.

Segment profit increased $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, profit increased by 14 percent, reflecting the higher sales along with an improved gross margin in Mexico.

The year-to-date sales and segment profit variances largely mirrored those of the quarter.

The Mexican peso was the main foreign currency that impacted the year-over-year comparisons.

Reported sales for the segment decreased 15 percent in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 4 percent, primarily from lower sales in BeautiControl due to a less active and less productive sales force, due in part to sales force members beginning to work under an updated compensation plan. The average price increase in this segment was 4 percent.

Segment profit increased by $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2015, reflecting a lower loss by BeautiControl in connection with the new sales force compensation model, improved margins from changes to the pricing structure and more efficient promotional spending. This increase to segment profit was partially offset by lower profit at Fuller Mexico, due to a lower gross margin, increased bad debt expense and promotional spending focused on increasing sales force recruiting and activity.

The year-to-date sales and segment profit variances largely mirrored those of the quarter, although year-to-date sales were also impacted by the decision in 2014 to cease operating the Armand Dupree business in the United States, while year-to-date segment profit benefited from not incurring the operating loss at Armand Dupree in 2014.

The Mexican peso was the main currency that impacted the year-over-year sales comparisons.

Although Fuller Mexico had a decrease in profit in the second quarter of 2015, its performance was not significantly different than under the assumptions used in the step 1 goodwill impairment evaluation performed as of the September 2014 assessment date. If the operating performance is significantly out of line with the assumptions used in the 2014 annual assessment, including changes in projected future revenue, profitability and cash flow; or a significant increase in interest rates or cost of capital, this would have a negative impact on the fair value of the reporting unit, which could result in an impairment to the Fuller Mexico goodwill.

Reported sales for the segment decreased 25 percent in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of changes in all foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 21 percent. Of the 21 percent increase in sales in local currency, approximately two-thirds reflected the impact of higher prices in the segment, mainly due to inflation in Argentina and Brazil.

The most significant increase in local currency sales was in Brazil, the largest unit in South America, primarily from higher volume of products sold along with increased prices. The volume improvement reflected a significant sales force size advantage and the launch of new, attractive products that energized the sales force and created demand from end consumers. Argentina's sales also increased significantly from higher prices in light of significant inflation.

Segment profit increased $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to the benefit of incurring $20.4 million less in expenses in 2015 in connection with items on the Venezuelan balance sheet that were impacted by the weakening of the currency exchange rate in Venezuela that occurred in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014. There was also a $9 million translation impact on segment profit from the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar to U.S. dollar rate used in 2015 versus 2014. Excluding the impact of changes in all foreign currency exchange rates, including balance sheet related items in Venezuela, segment profit increased $6.0 million, primarily due to higher sales and an improved gross margin in Argentina and Brazil.

The year-to-date sales and segment profit variances largely mirrored those of the quarter. The expense for items on the balance sheet in Venezuela in the year-to-date periods of 2015 and 2014 was $11.1 million and $35.7 million, respectively.

The Brazilian real and Venezuelan bolivar had the most significant negative impacts on the year-over-year sales and profit comparisons.

Table of Contents

The bolivar to U.S. dollar exchange rates used in translating the Company’s 2014 operating activity was 6.3 in the first quarter, 10.8 in the second quarter and 50.0 in the second half of 2014 and in January 2015. In February 2015, the Venezuelan government launched an overhaul of its foreign currency exchange structure for obtaining U.S. dollars, eliminating the SICAD 2 auction process and introducing the Simadi mechanism. As a result, the Company used 172.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to translate its February 2015 operating activity and 190.0 to translate its March 2015 operating activity and to remeasure the end of March balance sheet. The Company used a rate of 198.0 as of the end of the second quarter of 2015. The Company continues to expect to use the Simadi rate to translate future operating activity. The impact of re-measuring the net monetary assets and recording in cost of sales inventory at the exchange rate when it was purchased or manufactured was $9.3 million and $1.8 million in the first and second quarter of 2015, respectively.

In light of the currency exchange mechanism, the Company is not able to predict, at this time, whether it will be able to exchange Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars or what rate will be available in the future as the rate is expected to fluctuate on a daily basis. If the exchange rate used by the Company to translate its Venezuelan results was at approximately 198 bolivars to the U.S. dollar throughout 2015, there will be translation impacts on the third and fourth quarter sales from the weaker rate compared with 2014 of $4.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and on segment profit of $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. In addition, the Company expects the negative impact of recording in cost of sales inventory at the exchange rate at which it was purchased to be $1 million in the third quarter of 2015.

As of the end of the second quarter of 2015, the Company had $2 million in net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan bolivars (measured at the Simadi rate), including $2 million in cash and cash equivalents, which would be directly impacted by any changes in the exchange rate. In addition, there were $25.5 million in cumulative foreign currency translation losses related to Venezuela included in equity within the consolidated balance sheets. Sales and segment profit in Venezuela, measured at the current Simadi rate, represent less than half a percent of total Company sales and segment profit.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources: Net working capital increased by $32.7 million in the first half of 2015, including a negative $15 million net impact due to weaker foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. The change in working capital was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to the timing of payments around year-end and estimated tax payments in the first half of 2015, as well as a local currency increase in inventory and accounts receivable. These increases to working capital were partially offset by an increase in short-term debt.

The Company continues to carry debt in connection with the $600 million in Senior Notes due in 2021.

On June 9, 2015, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Tupperware International Holdings B.V. entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") to their Credit Agreement. The Amendment (i) reduces the aggregate amount available to the Company and the Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit Agreement from $650 million to $600 million (the “Facility Amount”), (ii) extends the revolving maturity date of the Credit Agreement from September 11, 2018 to June 9, 2020, and (iii) amends the applicable margins for borrowings and the commitment fee to be generally more favorable for the Company.

As of June 27, 2015, the Company had total borrowings of $258.1 million outstanding under its Credit Agreement, including $179.6 million denominated in euro.

Loans taken under the Credit Agreement bear interest under a formula that includes, at the Company's option, one of three different base rates, plus an applicable spread. As of June 27, 2015, the Credit Agreement dictated a spread of 150 basis points, which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate on LIBOR based borrowings of 1.51 percent under the Credit Agreement.

The Company routinely increases its revolver borrowings under the Credit Agreement and uncommitted lines during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incurs more interest expense and has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end cash and debt balances.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial covenants requiring a minimum level of interest coverage and allowing a maximum amount of leverage. As of June 27, 2015, and currently, the Company had considerable cushion under its financial covenants. However, economic conditions, adverse changes in foreign exchange rates, lower than foreseen sales, profit and/or cash flow generation, share repurchases or the occurrence of other events discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” and elsewhere could cause noncompliance.

At June 27, 2015, the Company had $612.1 million of unused lines of credit, including $340.1 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $272.0 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world. With the agreement of its lenders, if necessary, the Company is permitted to increase its borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement by a total of up to $200 million.

See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the Company's debt.

The Company monitors the third-party depository institutions that hold its cash and cash equivalents and diversifies its cash and cash equivalents among counterparties, which minimizes exposure to any one of these entities. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to financial market risk resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and the possible liquidity and credit risks of its counterparties. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to fund its working capital and capital spending needs and its current dividend. This liquidity includes its cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $74.1 million as of June 27, 2015, cash flows from operating activities, and access to its Credit Agreement, as well as access to other various uncommitted lines of credit around the world. The Company has not experienced any limitations on its ability to access its committed facility.

Cash and cash equivalents (“cash”) totaled $74.1 million as of June 27, 2015. Of this amount, $73.2 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. Approximately half of the cash held outside of the United States was not eligible for repatriation due to the level of past statutory earnings by the foreign unit in which the cash was held or other local restrictions. The remaining cash is subject to repatriation tax effects. The Company's current intent is to indefinitely reinvest these funds in its foreign units, as the cash is needed to fund on-going operations. In the event circumstances change, leading to the conclusion that these funds will not be indefinitely reinvested, the Company would need to provide at that time for the income taxes that would be triggered upon their repatriation.

The Company’s most significant exposures are to the euro, the Indonesian rupiah and the Mexican peso, as well as the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi and Malaysian ringgit. Business units in which the Company generated at least $100 million of sales in 2014 included Brazil, China, France, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia/Singapore, Fuller Mexico, Tupperware Mexico and Tupperware United States and Canada. Of these units, sales by Brazil, Indonesia and Fuller Mexico exceeded $200 million. Downturns in the Company's business in these units, including but not limited to, difficulties in the recruitment, retention and activity of the Company's independent sales force or the success of new products and/or promotional programs, adversely impacts the Company's ability to generate operating cash flows.

Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities for the periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 was $24.1 million and $44.1 million, respectively. The unfavorable comparison primarily reflected a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, reflecting payments around year end 2014 versus 2013, as well as a decrease in cash elements of net income as the result of weaker foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. The net impact of these items was partially offset by a reduction in outflows of cash related to other net working capital items, particularly in inventory and non-trade receivables due to the timing of cash receipts related to value added taxes.

Investing Activities: During the first half of 2015 and 2014, the Company had $27.8 million and $31.2 million, respectively, of capital expenditures. In both 2015 and 2014, the most significant capital expenditures were related to molds. In 2015 and 2014, capital expenditures included $5.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, related to increasing supply chain capabilities to support operations. In 2015, capital expenditures included $3.0 million related to global software upgrades. Partially offsetting the capital spending in 2015 and 2014 were proceeds from the sale of long-term assets of $14.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, primarily reflecting transactions associated with land near the Company's Orlando, Florida headquarters.

Financing Activities: Dividends paid to shareholders were $69.7 million and $66.9 million in the first half of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The higher 2015 amount was due to the increase in the dividends paid from $1.30 per share to $1.36 per share in the first half of 2014 and 2015, respectively, partially offset by a 2014 reduction in the number of shares outstanding in connection with the Company's share repurchase program. Proceeds received from the exercise of stock options were $4.9 million and $10.7 million in the year-to-date periods of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company also increased revolver borrowings through its Credit Agreement by $62.1 million for the funding of other financing activities.

Open market share repurchases by the Company are permitted under an authorization that runs until February 1, 2017 and allows up to $2.0 billion to be spent. Under this program, the Company repurchased 0.3 million shares for $24.4 million in the year-to-date period of 2014. There were no share repurchases under this program during the year-to-date period of 2015. Program-to-date beginning in 2007 and through the end of June 2015, the Company had spent $1.29 billion to repurchase 21.3 million shares. Going forward, in setting share repurchase amounts, the Company expects to target over time a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.75 times (as defined in the Company's Credit Agreement). Based on the Company’s current debt level, its expected disbursements for dividends in the remainder of 2015, and its projected 2015 cash flow and EBITDA that have been negatively impacted versus 2014 by strengthening of the U.S. dollar, the Company does not currently plan to make open market share repurchases in 2015.

Repurchases under the Company’s stock incentive programs are made when employees use shares to satisfy the minimum statutorily required withholding taxes. In the year-to-date periods of 2015 and 2014, 12,300 and 87,290 shares were retained to fund withholding taxes, totaling $0.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

One of the Company's market risks is its exposure to the impact of interest rate changes on its borrowings. The Company has elected to manage this risk through the maturity structure of its borrowings and the currencies in which it borrows.

Loans taken under the Credit Agreement are of a short duration and bear interest under a formula that includes, at the Company's option, one of three different base rates, plus an applicable spread. The Company generally selects the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR"). As of June 27, 2015, the Credit Agreement dictated a spread of 150 basis points, which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate on its U.S. dollar and euro denominated LIBOR based borrowings under the Credit Agreement of 1.51 percent.

As of June 27, 2015, the Company had total borrowings of $258.1 million outstanding under its Credit Agreement, with $179.6 million denominated in euro. If short-term interest rates varied by 10 percent, which in the Company's case would mean short duration U.S. dollar and euro LIBOR, with all other variables remaining constant, the Company's annual interest expense would not be significantly impacted.

A significant portion of the Company's sales and profit come from its international operations. Although these operations are geographically dispersed, which partially mitigates the risks associated with operating in particular countries, the Company is subject to the usual risks associated with international operations. These risks include local political and economic environments and relations between foreign and U.S. governments.

Another economic risk of the Company is exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of its international operations. The Company is not able to project, in any meaningful way, the effect of these possible fluctuations on translated amounts or future earnings. This is due to the Company's constantly changing exposure to various currencies, the fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the U.S. dollar and the large number of currencies involved, although the Company's most significant income and cash flow exposures are to the euro, Indonesian rupiah and Mexican peso, with meaningful exposures as well to the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi and Malaysian ringgit.

Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company's local product sourcing in many markets, a strengthening U.S. dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge its exposure to certain foreign exchange risks associated with a portion of its investment in international operations. In addition to hedging against the balance sheet impact of changes in exchange rates, the hedge of investments in international operations also has the effect of hedging a portion of cash flows from those operations. The Company also hedges, with these instruments, certain other exposures to various currencies arising from amounts payable and receivable, non-permanent intercompany transactions and a portion of purchases forecasted in up to the following 15 months. The Company does not seek to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations on the translated value of the sales, profit or cash flow generated by its operations.

While the Company's hedges of its equity in its foreign subsidiaries and its fair value hedges of balance sheet risks all work together to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled. For the year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, the cash flow impact of these currency hedges were outflows of $5.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

The U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company's most significant net open foreign currency hedge positions as of June 27, 2015 were to buy euro $54.2 million and to sell Indonesian rupiah $15.2 million. In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars, for example, an appreciating dollar versus the opposing currency would generate a cash inflow for the Company at settlement, with the opposite result in agreements to buy foreign currencies for U.S. dollars. The notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company's outstanding currency exposures. Based on rates existing as of June 27, 2015, the Company was in a net payable position of approximately $3.0 million related to its currency hedges, which upon settlement, could have a significant impact on the Company's cash flow. The Company records the impact of forward points in net interest expense.

A precise calculation of the impact of currency fluctuations is not practical since some of the contracts are between non-U.S. dollar currencies. The Company continuously monitors its foreign currency exposure and expects to enter into additional contracts to hedge exposure in the future. See further discussion regarding the Company's hedging activities for foreign currency in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company is subject to credit risks relating to the ability of counterparties of hedging transactions to meet their contractual payment obligations. The risks related to creditworthiness and nonperformance have been considered in the determination of fair value for the Company's foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company continues to closely monitor its counterparties and will take action, as appropriate and possible, to further manage its counterparty credit risk.

The Company is also exposed to rising material prices in its manufacturing operations and, in particular, the cost of oil and natural gas-based resins, including the fact that in some cases resin prices are actually in, or are based on, currencies other than that of the unit buying the resin, which introduces a currency exposure that is incremental to the exposure to changing market prices. This is the primary material used in production of most Tupperware^® products, and the Company estimates that 2015 cost of sales will include approximately $150 million for the cost of resin in the Tupperware^® brand products it produces and has contract manufactured. The Company uses many different kinds of resins in its products. About three-fourths of its resins are “polyolefins” (simple chemical structure, easily refined from oil), and as such, the price of these is strongly affected by the underlying price of oil and natural gas. The remaining one-fourth of its resins is more highly engineered, where the price of oil and natural gas plays a less direct role in determining price. With a comparable product mix and exchange rates, a 10 percent fluctuation in the cost of resin would impact the Company's annual cost of sales by approximately $15 million compared with the prior year. For the second quarter of 2015, the Company estimates its cost of sales of the Tupperware^® products it produced and had contract manufactured was positively impacted by approximately $2 million in local currency due to resin cost changes, as compared with 2014. For full year 2015, the estimated impact of resin cost changes, on a local currency basis, on the Company's cost of sales of the Tupperware^® products it produces and has contract manufactured is a benefit of approximately $6 million, as compared with 2014. In addition to the impact of the price of oil and natural gas, the price the Company pays for its resins is also impacted by the relative changes in supply and demand. The Company partially manages its risk associated with rising resin costs by utilizing a centralized procurement function that is able to take advantage of bulk discounts while maintaining multiple suppliers and also enters into short-term pricing arrangements. It also manages its margin through cash flow hedges in some cases when it purchases resin in currencies, or effectively in currencies, other than that of the purchasing unit and through the pricing of its products, with price increases on its product offerings generally in line with consumer inflation in each market, and its mix of sales through its promotional programs and promotionally priced offers. It also, on occasion, makes advance material purchases to take advantage of current favorable pricing. At this point in time, the Company has determined that entering into forward contracts for resin is not practical or cost beneficial and has no such contracts in place. However, should circumstances warrant, the Company may consider such contracts in the future.

The Company has a program to sell land held for development around its Orlando, Florida headquarters ("Orlando Land"). This program is exposed to the risks inherent in the real estate development process. Included among these risks is the ability to obtain all government approvals, the success of attracting tenants for commercial or residential developments in the Orlando real estate market, obtaining financing and general economic conditions, such as interest rate increases. Based on the variety of factors that impact the Company's ability to close sales transactions, it cannot predict when the program will be completed.
