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 2018 financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.

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 statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the balance sheet, statements of income, comprehensive income, statements of shareholder’s equity 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.

Hedging: On December 30, 2018, the Company adopted new guidance on hedge accounting, which required a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income of $5.0 million, net of taxes. As part of the adoption, the Company elected to include forward points in the assessment of hedge effectiveness for net equity and cash flow hedges and exclude forward points in the assessment for fair value hedges. In addition, the Company now records the entire change in fair value of hedging instruments in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Prior to adoption, the impact from forward points was recorded as interest expense. Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on impact from new hedge accounting guidance.

Leases: On December 30, 2018, the Company adopted new guidance on lease accounting using the modified retrospective method, which required a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of $7.1 million, net of taxes. Prior periods have not been restated. The standard did not materially impact consolidated net income or liquidity, and did not have an impact on debt-covenant compliance under the Company's debt agreements. The new guidance was applied to all operating and capital leases at the date of initial application. Leases historically referred to as capital leases are now referred to as finance leases under the new guidance.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, and as a basis for its lease policies, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The Company also elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in which it is the lessee, and made an accounting policy election to not account for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. In addition, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company recognizes payments on these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of $82.0 million and $83.3 million, respectively, as of March 30, 2019 related to the Company's operating leases. The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net earnings or cash flows. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Foreign Currency Translation: Inflation in Argentina and Venezuela has been at a high level the past several years. The Company uses a blended index of the Consumer Price Index and National Consumer Price Index for determining highly inflationary status in these countries. For Argentina, this blended index reached cumulative three-year inflation in excess of 100 percent in 2018 and as such, the Company transitioned to highly inflationary status as of July 1, 2018. Venezuela was determined to be highly inflationary starting in 2010. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies are recorded in earnings. As of March 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $1.7 million of net monetary assets in Argentina, which are of a nature that will generate income or expense for the change in value associated with exchange rate fluctuations versus the U.S. dollar. There were no material monetary assets or liabilities in Venezuela as of March 30, 2019.


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, duties, 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 expenses ("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 were $32.8 million and $35.5 million for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, 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 other activities, ancillary to the Company's business, but considered separate and distinct services from sales, which are measured by defined group/team sales levels, addition of new sales force members or other business-critical functions. The awards offered are in the form of 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 $78.6 million and $88.4 million for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 8:	Leases

The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles, office space, and manufacturing and distribution facilities, and recognizes the associated lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 5 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's discretion and renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised have been included in the lease term. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

Certain lease agreements held by the Company include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The components of lease expense in the first quarter of 2019 were as follows:

Credit Agreement

On March 29, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tupperware Nederland B.V., Administradora Dart, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Tupperware Brands Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (the “Subsidiary Borrowers”), amended and restated its multicurrency Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), swingline lender, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as syndication agents, joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Credit Agreement replaces the Credit Agreement dated September 11, 2013 and as amended (the “Old Credit Agreement”) and, other than an increased aggregate amount that may be borrowed, an improvement in the consolidated leverage ratio covenant and a slightly more favorable commitment fee rate, has terms and conditions similar to that of the Old Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement makes available to the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers a committed five-year credit facility in an aggregate amount of $650 million (the “Facility Amount”). The Credit Agreement provides (i) a revolving credit facility, available up to the full amount of the Facility Amount, (ii) a letter of credit facility, available up to $50 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $100 million of the Facility Amount. Each of such facilities is fully available to the Company and the Facility Amount is available to the Subsidiary Borrowers up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $325 million. With the agreement of its lenders, 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 $850 million), subject to certain conditions. As of March 30, 2019, the Company had total borrowings of $366.2 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, with $204.5 million of that amount denominated in euros.

Loans made under the Credit Agreement will be composed of (i) “Eurocurrency Borrowings”, bearing interest determined in reference to the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") for the applicable currency and interest period, plus a margin, and/or (ii) “ABR Borrowings”, bearing interest at the sum of (A) the greatest of (x) the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate, (y) the NYFRB rate plus 0.5%, and (z) adjusted LIBOR on such day (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) for a deposit in U.S. dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1%, and (B) a margin. The applicable margin in each case will be determined by reference to a pricing schedule and will be based upon the better for the Company of (a) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (computed as 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) for the fiscal quarter referred to in the quarterly or annual financial statements most recently delivered, 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. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for ABR Borrowings ranges from 0.375% to 0.875%, the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Borrowings ranges from 1.375% to 1.875%, and the applicable margin for the commitment fee ranges from 0.150% to 0.275%. Loans made under the swingline facility will bear interest, if denominated in U.S. Dollars, at the same rate as an ABR Borrowing and, if denominated in another currency, at the same rate as a Eurocurrency Borrowing. As of March 30, 2019, the Credit Agreement dictated a base rate spread of 150 basis points, which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate of 2.6 percent on LIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement that has a final maturity date of March 29, 2024.

The financial covenants provide for a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.75 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 (defined as consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated total interest expense). For purposes of the Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring gains as well as non-cash charges and certain other items. As of March 30, 2019, and currently, the Company had considerable cushion under its financial covenants as well as the necessary bond credit ratings to prevent default.

Under the Credit Agreement and consistent with the Old Credit Agreement, the Guarantor unconditionally guarantees all obligations and liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers relating to the Credit Agreement, supported by a security interest in certain "Tupperware" trademarks and service marks. The Credit Agreement includes a trigger whereby the Company would be required to provide additional collateral and subsidiary guarantees if either Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or S&P Global Ratings downgrades its existing ratings two notches or more.

The Company had routinely increased its revolver borrowings under the Old Credit Agreement each quarter, and expects to continue to do so under the Credit Agreement, to fund operating, investing and other financing activities. It also has in the past and expects to in the future, use cash available at the end of each quarter to reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company has higher interest expense and foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end cash and debt balances.


Note 11:	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, 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 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, as of the beginning of 2019, the Company made the accounting policy election in accordance with ASU 2017-12 to exclude forward points and record their impact in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item for 2019, Other (income) expense. Prior to 2019, the forward points had been included as a component of interest expense. The forward points on fair value hedges resulted in pretax income of $3.7 million and $6.1 million in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from certain forecasted purchases and classifies these as cash flow hedges. The majority of cash flow hedge contracts that the Company enters into relate to inventory purchases. At initiation, the Company's cash flow hedge contracts are generally for periods ranging from one month to fifteen months. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings when settled through the same line item as the transaction being hedged. As such, the balance at the end of the current reporting period in other comprehensive income, related to cash flow hedges, will generally be reclassified 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 made an accounting policy change as of December 30, 2018 to include forward points in the assessment of effectiveness for cash flow hedges causing the impact from forward points to be recorded as part of other comprehensive income compared to interest expense as it previously had been recorded. Based on the interest expense incurred for open cash flow hedges as of December 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $1.2 million, net of taxes, to accumulated comprehensive income and retained earnings to reflect this accounting policy change. The impact from forward points recorded in other comprehensive income for activity related to the first quarter of 2019 was $0.8 million. The Company recognized $1.0 million expense in cost of products sold related to the forward point impact from the settlement of cash flow hedges in the first quarter of 2019.

The Company also uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts and certain euro denominated borrowings under its 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, in other comprehensive income net losses of $13.1 million and $16.9 million associated with these hedges in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. 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 made an accounting policy change as of December 30, 2018 to include forward points in the assessment of effectiveness for net equity hedges causing the impact from forward points to be recorded as part of other comprehensive income compared to interest expense as it previously had been recorded. Based on the interest expense associated with forward points incurred for open net equity hedges as of December 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $3.8 million, net of taxes, to accumulated comprehensive income to reflect this accounting policy change. Beginning in 2019, the impact of forward points is being recorded in other comprehensive income, and will remain there indefinitely since that is where the gains and losses on hedges of net equity are recorded. The impact related to forward points on hedges of net equity recorded as a component of other comprehensive income in the first quarter of 2019 was $4.3 million.

While the forward contracts used for 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 for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018 were inflows of $0.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

The Company considers the total notional value of its forward contracts as the best measure of the volume of derivative transactions. As of March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018, the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to purchase currencies were $87.9 million and $186.8 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to sell currencies were $89.1 million and $184.6 million, respectively. As of March 30, 2019, the notional values of the largest positions outstanding were to purchase $28.8 million of U.S. dollars, $26.9 million of euros and $19.9 million of Swiss francs and to sell $26.2 million of Mexican pesos.

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 March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018.

Note 12:	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, leased assets and liabilities and short-term borrowings approximated their fair values at March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018. The Company estimates that, based on current market conditions, the value of its 4.75%, 2021 senior notes was $617.2 million at March 30, 2019, compared with the carrying value of $599.6 million. The higher fair value resulted from changes, since issuance, in the corporate debt markets 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 that consider the Company's credit risk and market related conditions. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the Company's derivative instruments and related fair value measurements.


Note 13:	Retirement Benefit Plans

Components of net periodic benefit cost for the first quarters ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:



	First Quarter

Net periodic benefit cost	$	2.3		$	3.0		$	(0.2	)	$	(0.2	)

During the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million of pretax gain were reclassified from other comprehensive income to a component of net periodic benefit cost, respectively. As they relate to non-U.S. 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. The Company included $0.2 million related to the components of net periodic benefit cost, excluding service cost, in other expense in the first quarters of both 2019 and 2018.

Note 14:	Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018 were 28.9 percent and 38.8 percent, respectively. The change in rate was primarily due to a lower estimated full-year provision for the Global Intangible Low-Taxed income (GILTI) tax.

As of March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018, the Company's accrual for uncertain tax positions was $15.4 million and $15.1 million, respectively. The increase in the accrual for uncertain tax positions was primarily due to the commencement of additional audits in various jurisdictions. The Company estimates that as of March 30, 2019, approximately $15.1 million of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will 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 $5.4 million and $5.5 million as of the periods ended March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively.

The Company estimates that it may settle one or more audits in the next twelve months that may result in cash payments decreasing the amount of accrual for uncertain tax positions by up to $3.3 million. For the remaining balance as of March 30, 2019, 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 that could also, in turn, impact the Company's assessment relative to the establishment or reversal 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 15:	Statement of Cash Flow Supplemental Disclosure

Under the Company's stock incentive programs, in certain jurisdictions, employees are allowed to use shares retained by the Company to satisfy minimum statutorily required withholding taxes. In the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, 23,088 and 20,145 shares, respectively, were retained to fund withholding taxes, with values totaling $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which were included as stock repurchases in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Restricted cash is recorded in prepaid and other current assets or in the long-term other assets balance sheet line items.

Note 18:	Guarantor Information

The Company's payment obligations under its senior notes due in 2021 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, by Dart Industries Inc. (the "Guarantor"), as are the payment obligations under the Company's Credit Agreement. Both guarantees are secured by certain "Tupperware" trademarks and service marks owned by the Guarantor.

Condensed consolidated financial information as of March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018, and for the quarters ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, for the Company (the "Parent"), the Guarantor and all other subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantors") is as follows.

Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent and Guarantor of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries that are eliminated upon consolidation. The Guarantor is 100% owned by the Parent, and there are certain entities within the Non-Guarantors' classification that the Parent owns directly. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of either the Parent or the Guarantor to obtain adequate funds from their respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan that should interfere with their ability to meet their operating needs or debt repayment obligations.

Note 19:	New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance on the accounting for implementation, setup, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by the vendor that is a service contract. Under the amendment, the requirement for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting environment that is a service contract is aligned with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance on disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Under the amendment, the entity is required to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates used, reasons for significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation and an explanation of any other significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets. The amendment also removed certain required disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this amendment on its disclosure, and does not expect any impact on its basic 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 weeks ended March 30, 2019, compared with the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2018, and changes in financial condition during the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2019.

The Company's core sales are derived from the distribution of its products 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 consumers 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.

In 2019, the Company continued to sell directly, and/or through its sales force, to end consumers via the Internet and through a limited number of business-to-business transactions, in which it sells products to a partner company. These business-to-business transactions are not considered part of the Company's core sales and are not material to overall sales.

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 used to translate results 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.

The Company defines established market economies as those in Western Europe (including Scandinavia), Australia, Canada, Japan, and the United States. All other countries are classified as having emerging market economies.

Table of Contents

Reported sales decreased 10 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 2 percent. The Company's businesses operating in emerging market economies had a 3 percent decline in sales in local currency. The significant sales decreases were in Brazil, Fuller Mexico, India and Indonesia. The most significant sales increases were in Argentina, China, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Local currency sales in the Company's businesses that operate in established economy markets, as a group, decreased 2 percent, primarily driven by the impact from sales decreases in Germany and the United States and Canada. The most significant sales increases were in France and Switzerland, from large business-to-business arrangements.

In the first quarter, operating income decreased 16 percent and net income increased 3 percent. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, operating income decreased 5 percent and net income increased 22 percent, respectively. The decrease in operating income reflected the impact of lower sales, together with higher costs in South America, partially offset by lower management incentive costs. The increase in net income reflected the decrease in segment profit, which was more than offset by lower re-engineering costs, and benefit from a change in the accounting for net equity hedges. Net income was also positively impacted by a lower income tax rate.

Net cash flow from operating activities for the periods ending March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were outflows of $40.1 million and $40.8 million, respectively. The slightly favorable comparison was primarily due to lower cash outflows related to inventory, timing of tax payments and prepaid expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in cash outflow related to accounts payable, mainly from a higher balance at the end of 2018 compared with the prior year, and reduced recurring purchases in light of a lower level of business in certain units.

Net Sales

Reported sales decreased 10 percent in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 2 percent. This included a 3 percentage point positive impact from the benefit of business-to-business sales, mainly in France and Switzerland. On average, prices were even in the first quarter compared with 2018.

The Company's emerging market units accounted for 69 percent and 70 percent of sales in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. In 2019, reported sales in these units decreased $43.5 million, or 11 percent, which included a negative $34.9 million impact from foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales declined 3 percent. The most significant local currency sales increase was in China due to the net addition of outlets. Other units with meaningful increases were Argentina, mainly from pricing, and CIS from a larger, more productive sales force. The sales growth in these units was more than offset by decreases in Brazil, from a less active sales force, Fuller Mexico, from a smaller and less productive sales force, and India and Indonesia from smaller, less active sales forces. The average impact of higher prices in the emerging market units was 1 percent.

Reported sales in the established market units decreased 7 percent. Excluding a negative $9.1 million impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 2 percent. The local currency sales decrease was mainly due to less active sellers from lower sales force additions in Germany and the United States and Canada. These decreases were partially offset by the benefit of significant business-to-business sales in France and Switzerland. The average impact of lower prices in the established market units was 1 percent.

A more detailed discussion of the sales results by reporting segment is included in the segment results section in this Part I, Item 2.

As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, the Company includes certain 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 66.9 percent and 67.0 percent in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease of 0.1 percentage point ("pp") primarily reflected an unfavorable mix impact from relatively higher sales in certain units with lower than average gross margins (0.1 pp).

Table of Contents

As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, 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 53.9 percent in the first quarter of 2019, compared with 53.3 percent in 2018. The comparison reflected higher distribution costs as a percentage of sales, mainly in Brazil and the United States and Canada, in light of lower sales (1.0 pp), an unfavorable impact from the translation effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (0.4 pp), less efficient promotional spending, primarily in Germany, Indonesia and the United States and Canada (0.3 pp), and an increase in fixed costs due to inflation (0.3 pp), higher bad debt expense (0.2 pp), and increased commissions (0.1 pp) primarily in South America. This was partially offset by a favorable mix impact from higher sales in certain units with lower than average DS&A (1.2 pp), and lower administrative expenses, mainly at Corporate due to lower management incentives (0.6 pp).

Specific segment impacts are discussed in the segment results section in this Part I, Item 2.

Re-engineering Costs

Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, for a discussion of re-engineering activities and accruals.

The Company recorded $4.3 million and $7.6 million in re-engineering charges during the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In 2019, the re-engineering and impairment charges incurred were primarily related to severance costs and restructuring actions taken in connection with the Company's plans to rationalize its supply chain and to adjust the cost base of several marketing units. As part of this program, the Company recorded $3.1 million and $7.6 million in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, 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. Under this program, which was announced in July 2017, the Company has incurred $82.8 million of pretax costs starting in the second quarter of 2017 through the first quarter of 2019. The Company expects to incur an additional $6.5 million of pretax re-engineering costs starting in the second quarter of 2019 and onward. The annualized benefit of these actions, once fully implemented, is estimated to be $35 million with $5 million realized in 2017, $22 million realized in 2018, and the remainder in 2019. After reinvestment of a portion of the benefits, improved profitability will be reflected most significantly through lower cost of products sold, but also through lower DS&A; however, overall profitability has not risen in light of lower sales and higher costs.

In January 2019, the Company announced a transformation program running through 2022 that is expected to cost approximately $100 million in pretax cost, with 90 percent paid in cash. Once fully implemented, the transformation projects are expected to enable annual local currency sales growth and to generate about $50 million in annualized savings. The Company incurred $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 related to the transformation program in Europe, primarily related to outside consulting services and project team expenses.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense was $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in interest expense related to the $1.1 million benefit from the accounting policy change for forward points from the Company's hedging activities, partially offset by the impact of higher average borrowings in the year-over-year comparisons.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rates for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018 were 28.9 percent and 38.8 percent. The change in rate was primarily due to a lower estimated full-year provision for the Global Intangible Low-Taxed income (GILTI) tax.

Table of Contents

As discussed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, 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 increased $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 2018, which included a $5.4 million negative impact on the comparison from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The increase primarily reflected $3.3 million lower pre-tax re-engineering costs in connection with the Company's restructuring plan announced in July 2017, lower corporate costs and lower income tax expense versus 2018. These were partially offset by lower segment profit, less efficient promotional spending, higher fixed costs in Argentina and Brazil, increased bad debt expense in Brazil and Fuller Mexico and increased commission expense in Brazil.

A more detailed discussion of the results by reporting segment is included in the segment results section below in this Part I, Item 2.

International operations generated 93 percent and 92 percent of sales in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. These units generated 98 percent and 97 percent of net segment profit in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The sale of beauty products generated 14 percent of sales in the first quarter of 2019, and 13 percent in the first quarter of 2018.

Reported sales decreased 4 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 8 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher business-to-business sales. On average, the impact of lower prices was 1 percent in the first quarter of 2019, primarily related to more aggressive promotional pricing.

Emerging markets accounted for $52.3 million and $59.0 million, or 38 percent and 41 percent of the reported sales in the segment in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the emerging market units' sales increased by 5 percent, primarily reflecting a larger, more productive sales force in CIS.

The established market units' reported sales increased 2 percent compared to the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, these units' sales increased by 11 percent, reflecting the benefit of relatively large business-to-business sales in France and Switzerland. This was partially offset by a decrease in sales in Germany, due to smaller, less active sales force, and in Scandinavia from a smaller, less productive sales force.

Segment profit increased $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2019 versus 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, segment profit increased $7.0 million, reflecting higher than average profitability on the increased business-to-business sales and lower promotional spending.

The euro, South African rand and Turkish lira were the main currencies that impacted the first quarter year-over-year sales comparison, with the euro and South African rand having the most impact on the profit comparison.

Reported sales decreased 9 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 5 percent. On average, the impact of lower prices was 2 percent in the first quarter compared with 2018, primarily related to more aggressive promotional pricing.

Emerging markets accounted for $137.7 million and $150.2 million, or 88 percent and 87 percent of reported sales in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Excluding the negative $7.3 million impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales in these units decreased 4 percent compared with 2018. The most significant decreases were in India and Indonesia from smaller, less active sales forces from lower sales force additions, and the response to the Company's product and promotional programs, as well as lower productivity in India. This was partially offset by China, primarily related to the net additions of outlets. China ended the quarter with approximately 6,800 outlets, which was 6 percent more than at the end of the first quarter of 2018.

The units operating in the established markets decreased 16 percent and 10 percent in reported and local currency sales, respectively, primarily reflecting a smaller, less productive sales force in Tupperware Australia and New Zealand.

Segment profit decreased 21 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, segment profit was down 16 percent, primarily reflecting lower drop-through on lower sales in India and Indonesia, along with investment in gross margin and promotional costs in Indonesia to better engage the sales force and consumers. The decrease was partially offset by profit on higher sales in China.

The Chinese renminbi and the Malaysian ringgit had the most meaningful impact on the first quarter sales comparisons with the Chinese renminbi having the most meaningful impact on the profit comparisons.

Reported sales in the first quarter of 2019 decreased 11 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 10 percent. The average impact of higher prices was 2 percent.

Emerging markets accounted for $72.8 million and $78.6 million, or 61 percent and 58 percent of the reported sales in the segment in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. On a local currency basis, the emerging market units' sales decreased 5 percent, primarily reflecting a less active sales force in Fuller Mexico. Tupperware and Fuller Mexico results were negatively impacted by a gasoline shortage in Mexico during the beginning of the quarter, and uncertainty associated with the new government.

The established markets' reported sales decreased 17 percent. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 16 percent due to less active sellers in the response to the Company's product and promotional programs in the United States and Canada.

Reported segment profit decreased 8 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, profit decreased 6 percent, in line with the change in sales in local currency.

The Mexican peso was the main foreign currency impacting the sales and profit comparisons.

Reported sales for the segment decreased 20 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 3 percent, mainly from a less active sales force in Brazil. The average impact of higher prices was 5 percent, mainly due to inflation in Argentina. All of the businesses in this segment operate in emerging market economies.

Reported segment profit decreased $8.4 million or 49 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, segment profit decreased 38 percent, reflecting the lower sales together with higher product costs from lower production volume, and higher distribution and operating costs in Brazil, along with inflation related higher costs in Argentina.

The Argentine peso and the Brazilian real had the most significant impacts on the year-over-year sales comparison, with the Brazilian real having the most significant impact on the profit comparison.

Inflation in Argentina and Venezuela has been at a high level the past several years. The Company uses a blended index of the Consumer Price Index and National Consumer Price Index for determining highly inflationary status in these countries. For Argentina, this blended index reached cumulative three-year inflation in excess of 100 percent in 2018 and as such, the Company transitioned to highly inflationary status as of July 1, 2018. Venezuela was determined to be highly inflationary starting in 2010. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies are recorded in earnings. As of March 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $1.7 million of net monetary assets in Argentina, which are of a nature that will generate income or expense for the change in value associated with exchange rate fluctuations versus the U.S. dollar. There were no material monetary assets or liabilities in Venezuela as of March 30, 2019.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources: The Company's net working capital position decreased by $2.8 million compared with the end of 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, working capital decreased $6.2 million, primarily reflecting an $88.4 million increase in short-term borrowings, net of cash and cash equivalents and a $3.4 million decrease related to amounts on the balance sheet for hedging activities, partially offset by a $41.5 million net decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments around year-end, a $21.2 million increase in accounts receivable due to the level and timing of sales around the end of each period, including higher receivables from business-to-business transactions, and a $9.2 million increase in inventory mainly related to timing of sales and shipments.

On March 29, 2019 , the Company amended and restated its multicurrency Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") that also includes its wholly owned subsidiaries Tupperware Nederland B.V., Administradora Dart, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Tupperware Brands Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (the “Subsidiary Borrowers”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), swingline lender, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as syndication agents, joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Credit Agreement replaces the Credit Agreement dated September 11, 2013 and as amended (the “Old Credit Agreement”) and, other than an increased aggregate amount that may be borrowed, an improvement in the consolidated leverage ratio covenant and a slightly more favorable commitment fee rate, has terms and conditions similar to that of the Old Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement makes available to the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers a committed five-year credit facility in an aggregate amount of $650 million (the “Facility Amount”). The Credit Agreement provides (i) a revolving credit facility, available up to the full amount of the Facility Amount, (ii) a letter of credit facility, available up to $50 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $100 million of the Facility Amount. Each of such facilities is fully available to the Company and the Facility Amount is available to the Subsidiary Borrowers up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $325 million. With the agreement of its lenders, 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 $850 million), subject to certain conditions. As of March 30, 2019, the Company had total borrowings of $366.2 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, with $204.5 million of that amount denominated in euros.

Loans taken under the Credit Agreement bear interest under a formula that includes a base rate selected dependent upon currency borrowed, plus an applicable spread. The Company generally selects LIBOR as the base rate. As of March 30, 2019, the Credit Agreement dictated a base rate spread of 150 basis points, which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate of 2.6 percent on LIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Similar to the Old Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, generally restrict the Company's ability to incur subsidiary indebtedness, create liens on and sell assets, engage in certain liquidations or dissolutions, engage in certain mergers or consolidations, or change lines of business. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. The agreement also has customary financial covenants related to interest coverage and maximum amount of leverage. These restrictions are not expected to impact the Company's operations.

Under the Credit Agreement and consistent with the Old Credit Agreement, the Guarantor unconditionally guarantees all obligations and liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers relating to the Credit Agreement, supported by a security interest in certain "Tupperware" trademarks and service marks. The Credit Agreement includes a trigger whereby the Corporation would be required to provide additional collateral and subsidiary guarantees if either Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or S&P Global Ratings downgrades its existing ratings by two or more rating levels.

As of March 30, 2019, 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, including from restructuring actions, the payment of dividends, the ability to access cash generated internationally, share repurchases or the occurrence of other events discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” in this Part I, Item 3 and in the Company’s other reports filed with the SEC could impact the Company’s ability to comply with these covenants.

At March 30, 2019, the Company had $364.9 million of unused lines of credit, including $282.2 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $82.7 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world. If necessary, with the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase its borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement by a total of up to $200 million subject to certain conditions.

See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for further details regarding the Company's debt.

Table of Contents

The Company monitors the third-party depository institutions that hold its cash and cash equivalents with an emphasis primarily on safety and liquidity of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. The Company 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, capital spending needs, current and anticipated restructuring actions, as well as its current dividend. This liquidity includes to the extent that it is accessible, its cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $146.8 million as of March 30, 2019, 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 $146.8 million as of March 30, 2019. Of this amount, $146.5 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. Of the cash held outside of the United States, approximately 6 percent was not eligible for repatriation due to the level of past statutory earnings by the foreign units in which the cash was held or other local restrictions.

The Company’s most significant foreign currency exposures are to the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican peso and South African rand. Business units in which the Company generated at least $100 million of sales in 2018 included Brazil, China, Fuller Mexico, Germany, Indonesia, Tupperware Mexico and the United States and Canada. Of these units, sales by Brazil, China and the United States and Canada exceeded $200 million. A significant downturn in the Company’s business in these units would adversely impact its ability to generate operating cash flows. Operating cash flows would also be adversely impacted by significant difficulties in the addition, retention and activity of the Company’s independent sales force or the success of new products, promotional programs and/or possibly changes in sales force compensation programs.

Operating Activities: Net cash from operating activities in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018 were outflows of $40.1 million and $40.8 million, respectively. The slightly favorable comparison was primarily due to lower cash outflows related to inventory, timing of tax payments and prepaid expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in cash outflow related to accounts payable, mainly from a higher balance at the end of 2018 compared with the prior year, and reduced recurring purchases in light of a lower level of business in certain units.

Investing Activities: During the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, the Company had $12.9 million and $15.2 million, respectively, of capital expenditures. In both 2019 and 2018, the most significant capital expenditures were related to molds. In 2019 and 2018, capital expenditures included $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, related to supply chain capabilities, excluding molds, and $4.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, on various global information technology projects, $1.1 million and $0.7 million on vehicles, respectively, and $0.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for land development near its Orlando headquarters. There were proceeds from the sale of long-term assets of $0.6 million and $5.9 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Financing Activities: Dividends paid to shareholders were $33.9 million and $35.4 million in the first three months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company also increased revolver borrowings by $84.1 million and $97.2 million in the first three months of 2019 and 2018, respectively for the funding of operating, investing and financing activities.

Open market share repurchases by the Company are permitted under an authorization that runs until February 1, 2020 and allows up to $2.0 billion to be spent. Under this program, there were no share repurchases in the first quarters of 2019 or 2018. Since 2007, the Company has spent $1.39 billion to repurchase 23.8 million shares under this program. Going forward, in setting share repurchase amounts, the Company expects to target, over time, a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of below 2.0 times consolidated funded debt (as defined in the Company's Credit Agreement); however, it has indicated it may opportunistically repurchase in 2019 up to $100 million worth of shares, notwithstanding, it expects its debt-to-EBITDA ratio to be above 2.0 times throughout the year.

Repurchases under the Company’s stock incentive programs are made when employees use shares to satisfy the minimum statutorily required withholding taxes. In the first three months of 2019 and 2018, 23,088 and 20,145 shares were retained to fund withholding taxes, totaling $0.7 million and $1.0 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.

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 30, 2019, the Company had total borrowings of $366.2 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, with $204.5 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.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

A significant portion of the Company's sales and profit comes 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 Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican peso and South African rand.

Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company's local product sourcing in many countries, 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 cash flow generated by 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 for generally 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 derivatives that hedge a portion 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 first quarters of 2019 and 2018, the cash flow impact of these currency hedges were inflows of $0.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company's most significant net open forward contracts as of March 30, 2019 were to buy $28.8 million of U.S. dollars, $26.9 million of euros and $19.9 million of Swiss francs and to sell $26.2 million of Mexican pesos. 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 March 30, 2019, the Company was in a net receivable position of approximately $0.7 million related to its currency hedges under forward contracts. Currency fluctuations could have a significant impact on the Company's cash flow upon the settlement of its forward contracts.

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 11 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 non-performance 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.

Commodity Price 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. Resins are the primary material used in production of most Tupperware^® products, and the Company estimates that 2019 cost of sales will include approximately $125 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 the value of its resin purchases are “polyolefins” (simple chemical structure, easily refined from oil and natural gas). The remaining one-fourth of the value of its resin purchases is more highly engineered. 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 $13 million compared with the prior year. The Company pays for its resins is 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, through the pricing of its products, with price increases over time 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.

Table of Contents

Real Estate Risk

The Company has a program to sell land held for development around its Orlando, Florida headquarters. This program is exposed to the risks inherent in the real estate development process. Included among these risks is the ability to obtain all necessary 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.

Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's first quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( the "Exchange Act").
