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

NOTE 1 –1– BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Period-End

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.

2020.

SBH’s and SB/RH’s fiscal year ends September 30 and the Company reports its results using fiscal quarters whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length and ends on a Sunday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on October 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on September 30. As a result, the fiscal period end date for the three and six month periods included within this Quarterly Report for the Company, are April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

2020.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,2016-13, Leases (Topic 842)Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which supersededwas further updated and clarified by the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases.FASB through the issuance of additional related ASUs. The ASU introduces a forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU requires lesseesalso expands the disclosure requirements to recognize lease assetsenable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models, and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Although the new ASU requires both operatingmethods for estimating expected credit losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists as the economics of leases can vary. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, which provided entities with an alternative modified transition method, for which, comparativeinterim periods including the disclosures related towithin those periods, are not restated.fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 as of October 1, 2019, using2016-13 on a modified retrospective approach, which allowed for the recognition of a cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings, while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance. The Company’s adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of additional right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets of $107.5 million and additional lease liabilities of $113.0 million, with no material cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption. The difference between ROU assets and lease liabilities was driven primarily by prepaid lease payments, deferred and accrued lease incentives, and restructuring related accruals that were reclassified to the ROU asset balance as ofbasis effective October 1, 2019. The income tax accounting impact of ASC 842 adoption resulted in recording of deferred tax assets and tax liabilities of $29.7 million as of October 1, 2019.2020. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications, and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient for all of its leases to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single, combined lease component. Therefore, all fixed payments associated with the lease, including non-lease components, are included in the ROU asset and the lease liability. Any variable payments related to the lease are recognized as lease expense when and as incurred. The Company also elected not to apply the recognition requirements to leases of twelve months or less. These leases are expensed on a straight-line basis and no operating lease liability is recorded.

In accordance with Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception, considering whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Lease liabilities are classified between current and long-term liabilities based on their payment terms. The operating lease ROU asset includes prepaid rent and reflects the unamortized balance of lease incentives. Our leases may include renewal options, and we include the renewal option in the lease term if we conclude that it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate, such as the Company’s proportionate share of actual costs for utilities, common area maintenance, insurance, and property taxes, are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability, unless subject to fixed minimum requirements and are recognized as variable lease cost when the obligation for that payment is incurred.

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide the lease implicit rates, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rates as the discount rate, adjusted as applicable, based on the information available at the lease commencement dates to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow, on a collateralized basis and in a similar economic environment, over the term of a lease. The Company may use the lease implicit rate, if readily determinable, as the discount rate to determine the present value of lease payments. As of October 1, 2019, the Company used an average discount rate of approximately 4.6%, based on an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. See Note 11 – Leases for additional information.

We review the impairment of our ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for our other long-lived assets. Long-lived fixed assets held and used are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Circumstances such as the discontinuation of a product or product line, a sudden or consistent decline in the sales forecast for a product, changes in technology or in the way an asset is being used, a history of operating or cash flow losses or an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, among others, may trigger an impairment review. If such indicators are present, the Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. The asset value would be deemed impaired if the undiscounted cash flows generated did not exceed the carrying value of the respective asset group. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), which allows for an optional reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). Effective October 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2018-02 and elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act from AOCI to Retained Earnings, which resulted in reclassification of $0.3 million from AOCI to Retained Earnings.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This guidance amends certain rules for hedging relationships, expands the types of strategies that are eligible for hedge accounting treatment to more closely align the results of hedge accounting with risk management activities and amends disclosure requirements related to fair value and net investment hedges. The Company adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2019. The adoption of the guidance2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statementsstatements. Refer to Note 6 - Receivables and related disclosures.Concentration of Credit Risk

for further discussion on the Company's receivables and allowance for uncollectible receivables.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard provides guidance on accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after October 1, 2020, the date of adoption. Before the adoption of the standard, the implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements were expensed as incurred. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which adds implementation guidance to clarify certain optional expedients in Topic 848. The ASUs can be adopted no later than December 31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.
Transaction related charges

Transaction related charges consist of transaction costs from (1) qualifying acquisition transactions, whether or not consummated, associated with the completion of the purchase of net assets or equity interest of a business such as a business combination, equity investment, joint venture or purchase of non-controlling interest; (2) subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business including costs for integration of acquired operations into the Company’s shared service platforms, termination of redundant positions and locations, employee transition costs, integration related professional fees and other post business combination expenses; and (3) divestiture support and separation costs consisting of incremental costs incurred by the continuing operations after completion of the transaction to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction. Divestiture-related charges prior to completion of the transaction qualifying as discontinued operations are recognized as a component of Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax. Transaction costsQualifying cost types include, but are not limited to, banking, advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional fees directly related to the respective transactions. See Note 2 - Divestituresand Note 3 – AcquisitionsAcquisitions for further discussion. The following table summarizes transaction related charges incurred by the Company during the three and six month periods ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019:2020:

NOTE 2 – DIVESTITURES (continued)

Beginning in November 2018, the Company ceased the recognition of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets associated with GAC, resulting in $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization recognized during the six month period ended March 31, 2019. Interest expense consists of interest from debt directly held by subsidiaries of the business held for sale, including interest from capital leases. During the six month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized a $110.8 million write-down on net assets held for sale associated with the GAC divestiture attributable to the expected fair value to be realized from the sale, net of transaction costs. The impairment was primarily driven by the change in value of stock consideration to be received as a component of the purchase price from Energizer.

During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred transaction costs of $3.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively, associated with the divestiture which have been recognized as a component of income from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred and include fees for investment banking services, legal, accounting, due diligence, tax, valuation and various other services necessary to complete the transactions. After the completion of the divestiture, the Company incurred incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction which have been recognized as Transaction Related Charges as part of continuing operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies for further detail.

Coevorden Operations

On March 29, 2020, the Company completed its sale of the dog and cat food (“DCF”) production facility and distribution center in Coevorden, Netherlands (“Coevorden Operations”) pursuant to an agreement with United Petfood Producers NV (“UPP”) for total cash proceeds of $30.1 million. As of March 29, 2019,$29.0 million received during the net assets of the Coevorden Operations were legally transferred to UPP, with the recognition of a receivable for the cash proceeds included within Other Non-Trade Receivables on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Cash proceeds were subsequently received on Marchyear ended September 30, 2019.2020.

The Company performed a valuation of the acquired inventories, tradenames, and customer relationships. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and therefore, represent Level 3 measurements. The following is a summary of significant inputs to the valuation:
Inventory - Acquired inventory consists of branded finished goods that were valued based on the comparative sales method, which estimates the expected sales price of the finished goods inventory, reduced for all costs expected to be incurred in its completion or disposition and a profit on those costs.
Tradenames - The Company valued tradenames, Good Boy® brand portfolio and Wildbird® and Other brand portfolio, using an income approach, the relief-from-royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the tradenames were not owned. Royalty rates of 8% for valuation of Good Boy® and 3% for Wildbird® and Other were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions, related trademarks and tradenames, other similar trademark licensing, and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the tradenames. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flow was 11% based on the a weighted-average cost of capital for the overall business. The resulting discounted cash flows were then tax-effected at the applicable statutory rate.
Customer relationships - The Company valued customer relationships using an income and cost approach, the avoided cost and lost profits method. The underlying premise of the method is that the economic value of the asset can be estimated based on consideration of the total costs that would be avoided by having this asset in place. These costs primarily consider the costs that would be incurred to re-create the customer relationships in terms of employee salaries and the revenues and associated profits forgone due to the absence of the relationships for a period of time.
Pro forma results have not been presented as the OmegaArmitage acquisition is not considered individually significant to the consolidated results of the Company.


Rejuvenate
On April 20, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all ownership interests in For Life Products, LLC as part of the Company's H&G segment, for a purchase price of approximately $300 million. For Life Products, LLC is a leading manufacturer in the household cleaning, maintenance, and restoration products sold under the Rejuvenate® brand. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of the 2021 fiscal year, subject to customary closing conditions, including expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

The Company considered the recognitionimpact of the Coevorden Operations as held for saleCOVID-19 pandemic on its future operations and allocation of goodwill,cash flows and concluded that, although the Company remeasured the fair value of its GPC reporting unit goodwill. The fair value of the remaining GPC reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 17% and the Company did not recognize an impairment. The GPC reporting unit goodwill of $429.4 million as of March 29, 2020 is still deemed ‘at risk’ of impairment in the near term if operating performance does not continue to improve in line with management expectations, or a negative long-term outlook for the business, or another change in factors and assumptions such as discount rate. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in additional future impairment charges for the GPC reporting unit goodwill, and potentially other reporting unit goodwill not currently considered, ‘at risk’. While we have concluded that ano triggering event did not occuroccurred during the three and six month periodperiods ended March 29, 2020, a prolonged pandemic could negatively impact the resultsApril 4, 2021 to indicate an impairment of operations, net sales and earnings growth rates, changes in key assumptions and other global and regional macroeconomic factors.

The Company assessed the indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets associated with the continuing commercial DCF business following recognition of the Coevorden Operations as held for sale. During the six month period ended March 29, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment of $16.6 million on indefinite-lived intangible assets of tradenames associated with the commercial DCF business due to the reduced value of the associated tradenames, leaving no excess fair value as of the measurement date and risk of future impairment. For the remaining tradenames associated with the DCF business, there were $3.3 million of indefinite lived intangible assets that could be deemed at risk of future impairment due to the limited excess fair value. For definite lived intangible assets, the Company recognized an impairment of $7.6 million due to the incremental cash flow risk associated with the commercial DCF business following the planned divestiture of the Coevorden Operations, which consisted of the remaining carrying cost of the definite lived intangibles assets associated with the commercial DCF business.

There were no additional impairments identified during the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020.April 4, 2021. While a triggering event did not occur during the three and six month periodperiods ended March 29, 2020,April 4, 2021, a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impactimpacting net sales growth rate, changechanges in key assumptions, and other global and regional macroeconomic factors, that could result in additional future impairment charges for indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Amortization expense from the intangible assets for the three month periods ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $16.9$19.8 million and $17.4$16.9 million, respectively; and for the six month periods ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020 was $37.0 million and March 31, 2019 was $34.0 million, and $50.2 million, respectively.

NOTE 15 – SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY

Share Repurchases

The Company has a share repurchase program that is executed through purchases made from time to time either in the open market or otherwise. On July 24, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a $1 billion common stock repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months. As part of the share repurchase program, the Company purchased treasury shares in open market purchases at market fair value, in private purchases from Company employees, significant shareholders or beneficial interest owners at fair value and through an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution.

On May 4, 2021, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Board of Directors approved a new $1 billion common stock repurchase program and terminated the previously approved repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months.

On November 18, 2019, SBH entered into an ASR to repurchase $125$125.0 million of the Company’s common stock. At inception, pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $125.0 million to the financial institution using cash on hand and took delivery of 1.7 million shares which represented approximately 85% of the total shares the Company expected to receive based on the market price at the time of the initial delivery. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. The fair value of shares received initially of $106.3 million was recorded as a treasury stock transaction, with the remainder of $18.7 million recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Upon initial receipt of the shares, there was an immediate reduction in the weighted average common shares calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share. On February 24, 2020, the Company closed and settled the ASR resulting in an additional delivery of 0.3 million shares, with a fair value of $18.5 million. The total number of shares repurchased under the ASR program during the year ended September 30, 2020, was 2.0 million at an average cost per share of $61.59, based on the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock during the calculation period of the ASR program, less the applicable contractual discount.

The following summarizes the activity of common stock repurchases under the program for the three and six month periods ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019:2020:

The Company recognizes share based compensation expense primarily from the issuance of its Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), primarily under its Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), based on the fair value of the awards, as determined by the market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the designated grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Certain RSUs are time-based grants that provide for either 3-year cliff vesting or graded vesting depending upon the vesting conditions and forfeitures provided by the grant. Certain RSUs are performance-based awards that are dependent upon achieving specified financial metrics (adjusted EBITDA, return on adjusted equity, and/or adjusted free cash flow) over a designated period of time.

Beginning in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the Company provided to certain employees RSU grants issued under a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), with a 3-year, cliff vesting schedule and having both performance conditions dependent upon achieving specified financial targets (adjusted EBITDA, return on equity, and adjusted free cash flow) and time-based service. The Company also provided for bridge awards that are special awards to certain employees for transitioning to the LTIP from previous equity incentive compensation plans. Bridge awards vest annually, on November 21, 2019 and November 21, 2020, and have both performance conditions dependent upon achieving specified financial targets in fiscal year 2019 and 2020, respectively, (adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow) and time-based service conditions (60% performance/40% service). Bridge awards are payable in either RSUs or cash, or both, based upon an employee election. Bridge awards elected to be payable in RSU are recognized as equity awards and included as a component of share-based compensation expense. Additionally, the Company regularly issues individual RSU awards under its equity plan to its Board members and individual employees for recognition, incentive, or retention purposes, when needed, which are primarily conditional upon time-based service conditions and included as a component of share-based compensation.

The Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any of theadditional matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Shareholder Litigation. The Company has provided an estimated cost of $1.1 million, net anticipated third party insurance recoveries, for a proposed settlement related to the state court class action complaint filed on August 16, 2019 in the Circuit Court of Dane County, Wisconsin against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The complaint alleged that certain financial statements incorporated into the registration statement contained misstatements in violation of the Securities Act of 1933.

Separately, onOn July 12, 2019, an amended consolidated class action complaint filed earlier in 2018 was filed in the United StateStates District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (the “Court”) by the Public School Teachers’ Pension & Retirement Fund of Chicago and the Cambridge Retirement against Spectrum Brands’ Legacy, Inc. (“Spectrum Legacy”). The complaint alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making misrepresentations and omissions in Spectrum Legacy’s financial statements.1934. The amended complaint added HRG Group, Inc. (“HRG”), the predecessor to the Company, as a defendant and asserted additional claims against the Company on behalf of a purported class of HRG shareholders. The class period of the consolidated amended complaint is from January 26, 2017 to November 19, 2018, and the plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, interest, attorneys’ and expert fees and costs. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company reached a proposed settlement resulting in an insignificant loss, net of third-party insurance coverage and payment, pending final approval by the Court. In February 2021, the Court declined to approve the proposed settlement without prejudice because the Court determined that as a procedural matter the plaintiff’s counsel had not taken the appropriate actions to be appointed to represent the purported class of HRG shareholders. The Company believesparties are discussing appropriate actions that could address the suitprocedural deficiency, but there can be no assurance that it will be addressed or that a settlement on the same terms, or any other terms, will ultimately be reached and approved by the Court. In the event a settlement is without meritnot reached and approved, the Company intends to vigorously defend it vigorously.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting regulations and other disruptions to both demand and supply may have a substantial impact on the commercial operations of the Company or impairment of the Company’s net assets. Such impacts may include, but are not limited to, volatility of demand for our products, disruptions and cost implications in manufacturing and supply arrangements, inability of third parties to meet obligations under existing arrangements, and significant changes to the political and economic environments in which we manufacture, sell, and distribute our products.

As of the date of this report, we have beencontinue to be classified as an essential business in the jurisdictions that have mandated closureclosures of non-essential businesses, and therefore have been allowed to remain open. During the three month period ended March 29, 2020, there were certain HHI operating facilities, primarily within Chinaopen and Philippines, that experienced a temporary limit on production in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, but such facilities were operating at or near full capacity by the end of the quarter. Additionally, subsequent to the March 29, 2020, additional governmental operating restrictions were announced Mexico temporarily suspending or limiting production for our HHI operating facilities. Moreover, our H&G facility in St. Louis was temporarily closed in April 2020 to provide for additional cleaning and implementation of preventative measures in response to confirmed cases of COVID-19. These facilities continue to operate to the extent possible under existing regulations which have limitedwith any limitation in production output for HHI and our H&G production.

being short-term in nature. Despite the supply implications experienced in the prior year, the Company continues to experience continued customer demand both during the three month period ended March 29, 2020 and during the subsequent period.demand. While demand in general for our products remains strong, our teams continue to monitor demand disruption and there can be no assurance as to the level of demand that will prevail throughthroughout the remainder of fiscal 2020.year. A large portion of our customers continue to operate and sell our products, with some customers reducing operations due to closures or reduced store hours. There have also been changes in consumer needs and spending during the COVID-19 pandemic, which have resulted in a limited number of change orders and reduced spending. Currently, we have not identified, and will continue to monitor for, any substantive risk attributable to customer credit.credit and have not experienced a significant impact from permanent store closures or retail bankruptcies. We believe the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic to be uncertain and may contribute to retail volatility and consumer purchase behavior changes. The magnitude of the financial impact on our quarterly and annual results is highly dependent on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and how quickly the U.S. and global economies resume normal operations.


Because theThe COVID-19 pandemic has not, as of the date of this report, materially impacted our operations or demand for our products, it has not had a materially negative impact on the Company’s liquidity position.  For the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020, the Company estimates that net sales were negatively impacted by $7.5 million and operating income and adjusted EBITDA were negatively impacted by $3.6 million. The sweeping nature of COVID-19 pandemic makes it extremely difficult to predict the long-term ramifications on our financial condition and results of operations. However, the likely overall economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is viewed as highly negative to the U.S. and global economies.economies remains uncertain.

We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs, and we expect to maintain access to the capital markets, although there can be no assurance of our ability to do so. We have also not observed any material impairments of our assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We expect the ultimate significance of the impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be dictated by the length of time that such circumstances continue, which will ultimately depend on the unforeseeable duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and any governmental and public actions taken in response.

Non-GAAP Measurements

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

Organic Net Sales.We define organic net sales as net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and impact from acquisitions (when applicable). We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rate and acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’s net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior period.year. The following is a reconciliation of reported net sales to organic net sales for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020April 4, 2021 compared to net sales for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019:29, 2020:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures used by management, which we believe provide useful information to investors because they reflect ongoing operating performance and trends of our segments, excluding certain non-cash based expenses and/or non-recurring items during each of the comparable periods. They also facilitate comparisons between peer companies since interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for determining compliance with the Company’s debt covenants. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes:

Stock based and other incentive compensation costs that consist of costs associated with long-term compensation arrangements and other equity based compensation based upon achievement of long-term performance metrics; and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the year ending September 30, 2019, the Company issuedsix month period ended April 4, 2021 and three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020, other incentive compensation includes certain incentive bridge awards issued due to changes in the Company’s long-term compensation plansLTIP that allow for cash based payment upon employee election which have been included in the adjustment but do not qualify for shared-based compensation. All bridge awards fully vested in November 2020.

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

Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);

ForeignOther adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) proposed settlement on outstanding litigation matters at our H&G division attributable to significant and unusual non-recurring claims with no previous history or precedent realized during the six month period ended April 4, 2021; (2) legal and litigation costs associated with Salus during the three and six month periods ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020 as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company; (3) foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020, and March 31, 2019, that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company and the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestures during the year ended September 30, 2019. The Company has entered into various hedging arrangements to mitigate the volatility of foreign exchange risk associated with such loans;

Legal and litigation costs associated with Salus during the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company, but continue to be consolidated by the Company until the Salus operations can be wholly dissolved and/or deconsolidated; and

Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1)divestitures; (4) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at Company facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin during the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019; (2)(5) incremental costs for separation of a key executive during the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019; (3) incremental costs associated with a safety recall in GPC during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019; (4) operating margin on H&G sales to GAC discontinued operations during the three and six month period ended March 31, 2019; and (5) certain fines and penalties for delayed shipments following the completion of a GPC distribution center consolidation in EMEA during the three and six month period ended March 31, 2019.2020;

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the Company was $78.0 million and $102.6 million for the six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily attributable to the cumulative adjustment to depreciation and amortization from the change in plan to sell the HPC divisionagreement in the prior year.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities for SBH continuing operations decreased $2,844.4$68.1 million primarily due to increase in cash paid for acquisition business of $112.8 million due to the acquisition of Armitage, partially offset by net increase in proceeds of $2,854.4 million from the sale of the GBL and GAC businesses in the prior year, plus cash paid for Omega acquisition of $17.0 million; partially offset by $28.6 million in proceeds for the sale of shares of Energizer common stock of $44.5 million.

Refer to Note 10 - Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information on debt borrowings. There has been no issuance of common stock, other than through the Company’s share-based compensation plans, with reduced spending on common stock repurchase activity of $322.5 million from the accelerated share repurchase arrangement and open market purchases in the prior year.

Liquidity Outlook
Our ability to support working capital needs,generate significant cash flow from operating activities coupled with our expected ability to access the credit markets, enables us to execute our growth strategies and made $130.0 million ofreturn value to our shareholders. Our ability to make principal and interest payment on debts forborrowings under our debt agreements and our ability to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on the outstanding balance of 6.625% Notes of $117.4 million with premium of early extinguishment of $1.3 million,ability to generate cash in the future, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other debt paymentsconditions. Based upon our current level of $11.3 million.operations, existing cash balances and availability under our credit facility, we expect cash flows from operations to be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. As of March 29, 2020,April 4, 2021, the Company had borrowing availability of $1.4$576.6 million, net of outstanding letters of credit. Subsequentcredit, under our credit facility. Additionally, we believe the availability under our credit facility and access to March 29, 2020,capital markets are sufficient to achieve our longer-term strategic plans. Liquidity and capital resources of SB/RH are highly dependent upon the Company increased its overall capacitycash flow activities of SBH.
Short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements, restructuring initiatives, capital spending, and periodic principal and interest payments on our long-term debt. Long-term financing needs depend largely on potential growth opportunities, including acquisition activity and repayment or refinancing of our long-term obligations. We may, from time-to-time, seek to repurchase shares of our common stock. Such repurchases, if any will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, and other factors. Our long-term liquidity may be influenced by our ability to borrow additional funds, renegotiate existing debt, and raise equity under terms that are favorable to us. We also have long-term obligations associated with defined benefit plans with expected minimum required contributions that are not considered significant to the Revolver Facility by $90.0 million, resulting inconsolidated group.
We maintain a total capacitycapital structure that we believe provides us with sufficient access to credit markets. When combined with strong levels of $890 million.

At March 29, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants undercash flow from operations, our capital structure has provided the Senior Credit Agreementflexibility necessary to pursue strategic growth opportunities and the indentures governing the 5.00% Notes, 5.75% Notes, 6.125% Notes, and 4.00% Notes.

return value to our shareholders. The Company’s access to capital markets and financing costs may depend on the Company’s credit ratings. On March 26, 2020, S&P downgraded the Company’s corporate credit rating to ‘B’ from ‘B+’, senior secured debt ratings from ‘BB’ to ‘BB-‘ and senior unsecured debt from ‘B+’ to ‘B’, with a negative outlook in response to the changing economic environment and risks attributable to COVID-19. None of the Company’s current borrowings are subject to default or acceleration as a result of a downgrading of credit ratings, although a downgrade of the Company’s credit ratings could increase fees and interest charges on future borrowings.

Refer At April 4, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 3.875% Notes, 5.00% Notes, 5.50% Notes, 5.75% Notes, and 4.00% Notes.

A portion of our cash balance is located outside the U.S. given our international operations. We manage our worldwide cash requirements centrally by reviewing available cash balances across our worldwide group and the cost effectiveness with which this cash can be accessed. We generally repatriate cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries, provided the cost of the repatriation is not considered material. The counterparties that hold our deposits consist of major financial institutions.
The majority of our business is not considered seasonal with a year round selling cycle that is overall consistent during the fiscal year with the exception of our H&G segment. H&G sales typically peak during the first six months of the calendar year (the Company's second and third fiscal quarters) due to Note 10 - Debtcustomer seasonal purchasing patterns and the timing of promotional activity. This seasonality requires the Company to ship large quantities of product ahead of peak consumer buying season that can impact cash flow demands to meet manufacturing and inventory requirements earlier in Notesthe fiscal year, as well as extended credit terms and/or promotional discounts throughout the peak season.

Liquidity Outlook

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

Because the COVID-19 pandemic has not, as of the date of this report, materially impacted our operations or demand for our products itand has not had a materially negative impact on the Company’s liquidity position.  Weposition, although there can be no assurance that it won't have initiateda material negative impact on us in the future. Nonetheless, we continue to actively monitor our global cash balances and liquidity, and if necessary, could reinitiate mitigating efforts to manage non-critical capital spending,spend and assess operating spend to preserve cash and increase capacity under our Revolver Facility.liquidity..  During the prior year, we had temporarily suspended treasury repurchase activity, but given the improved economic situation and the Company's liquidity, we may consider opportunistic share repurchases from time-to-time. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs, and we expect to maintain access to the capital markets, although there can be no assurance of our ability to do so. However, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which, depending on future developments, could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

CriticalAccountingPolicies and Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and fairly present our financial position and results of operations.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies other than the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which provides for a single comprehensive model for entities to use to account for leases. Refer to Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for information about the adoption of Topic 842.

During the six month period ended March 29, 2020, the Company measured the fair value of its GPC reporting unit goodwill following the recognition of the Coevorden Operations as held for sale. The Company allocated $10.6 million of GPC goodwill to the Coevorden Operations disposal group recognized as held for sale based upon a fair value allocation. The estimated fair value represents the amount at which a reporting unit could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties on an arms-length basis. In estimating the fair value of the GPC reporting unit, we used a discounted cash flow methodology, which requires us to estimate future revenues, expenses, and capital expenditures and make assumptions about our weighted average cost of capital and perpetuity growth rate, among other variable. The fair value of the remaining GPC reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 17% and did not recognize an impairment. The GPC reporting unit goodwill of $429.4 million as of March 29, 2020 is still deemed ‘at risk’ of impairment. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in additional future impairment charges for the GPC reporting unit goodwill, and potentially other reporting unit goodwill not considered ‘at risk’. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the three month period ended March 29, 2020, a prolonged pandemic could negatively impact the results of operations, net sales and earnings growth rates, changes in key assumptions and other global and regional macroeconomic factors.

Additionally, the Company assessed the indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite lived intangible assets associated with the continuing commercial DCF business following recognition of the Coevorden Operations as held for sale. For indefinite-lived assets, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the identified trade names to the carrying value to determine if potential impairment exists. If the fair value is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess. The fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is determined using an income approach, the relief-from-royalty methodology, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future revenues, royalty rates, and the discount rate, among others. During the six month period ended March 29, 2020, the Company recognized $16.6 million impairment on indefinite lived intangible assets due to the reduced value of the associated tradenames, leaving no excess fair value as of the measurement date or risk of future impairment. For the remaining tradenames associated with the DCF business, there were $3.3 million of indefinite lived intangible assets that could be deemed at risk of future impairment due to the limited excess fair value. For definite lived intangible assets, the Company recognized $7.6 million impairment due to the incremental cash flow risk associated with the commercial DCF business following the planned divestiture of the Coevorden Operations, which consisted of the remaining carrying cost of the definite lived intangible assets associated with the commercial DCF business. While a triggering event did not occur during the three month period ended March 29, 2020, a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact net sales growth rate, change in key assumptions and other global and regional macroeconomic factors that could result in additional future impairment charges for indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Other than those discussed above, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Factors

No material change in the Company’s market risk has occurred during the six month period ended March 29, 2020.April 4, 2021 other than the change in interest rate risk attributable to the issuance of the new Term Loan Facility. For additional information, refer to Note 10 – Debt and Note 12 – Derivatives to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement included elsewhere in the Quarterly Report and to Part II, Items 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.2020.

Interest Rate Risk
Our Revolver Facility and and Term Loan Facility have a variable interest rates. If market interest rates increase, the interest rate on our variable rate debt will increase and will create higher debt service requirements, which would adversely affect our cash flow and could adversely impact our results of operations. The general levels of U.S., European Union interest rates and LIBOR affect interest expense. As of April 4, 2021, we had $402.6 million subject to variable interest rates, or 15.4% of total debt. Assuming an increase to market rates of 1% as of April 4, 2021, we would incur an increase to interest expense of $4.1 million. Our Term Loan Facility and Revolver Facility allows for the LIBO rate to be phased out and replaced with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and therefore we do not anticipate a material impact by the expected upcoming LIBOR transition.

Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the sixthree month period ended March 29, 2020,April 4, 2021, SBH begancontinued updating certain internal controls and supporting processes and systemsto address previously identified material weakness related to leasesineffective information technology general controls (ITGCs) related to user access and role change reviews over certain information technology systems in connection with our adoptionthe EMEA region attributable to ineffective risk assessment and communication of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), further discussed in Note 1 – Basiscontrol activities related to the transfer of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, whichITGC operations provided TSAs. SBH will continue to develop and update such internal controls and processes during the year of adoption for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020.to fully remediate the identified deficiencies. Other than those described above, there were no additional changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the sixthree month period ended March 29, 2020April 4, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

Litigation

We are a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising in the ordinary course of business. See risk factors below and Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.Based on information currently available, we do not believe that any matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Information about our risk factors is contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 20192020 filed with the SEC on November 15, 2019.18, 2020. We believe that at March 29, 2020, with the exception of changes in the risk factors discussed below,April 4, 2021, there arehave been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious emerging threat to the health and economic wellbeing affecting our customers, employees, sources of supply and our financial condition and results of operations.

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

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

significant reductions in, or volatility of, demand for our products, which may be caused by the inability of consumers to purchase our products due to illness, quarantine, travel restrictions, store closures, general financial hardship or changes in consumer spending habits;

inability to meet customers’ needs or achieve cost targets due to disruptions in our manufacturing and supply arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential manufacturing or availability of key product components, transportation, workforce, or other manufacturing and distribution capability;

failure of third parties on which we rely, including our suppliers, contract manufacturers, distributors, contractors, commercial banks, and other business partners, to meet their obligations to us, or significant disruptions in their ability to do so, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties and may adversely impact our operations;

significant change in the political conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell or distribute our products, including governmental or regulatory actions such as quarantines, closures or other restrictions, that limit or close our operating and manufacturing facilities, restrict our employees’ ability to travel or perform necessary business functions, or otherwise prevent our third-party partners, suppliers, or customers from sufficiently staffing operations, including operations necessary for the production, distribution, sale and support of our products, which could adversely impact our results or impairment of the Company’s net assets;

disruptions and stress in capital markets that could impact the cost and availability of capital for us and for our customers, suppliers and other business partners; or

quarantines, stay-at-home orders and other limitations can disrupt our product development, branding, research and administrative functions, regardless of whether we are actually forced to close our own facilities and similar disruptions that may also effect other organizations and persons that we collaborate with or whose services we are dependent on; or

the need for our employees and business partners to work remotely in these circumstances also creates greater potential for risks related to cybersecurity, confidentiality and data privacy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

provide for a classified board of directors with staggered three-year terms;

authorize the board of directors to issue preferred shares and to determine the terms, including the number of shares, voting powers, redemption provisions, dividend rates, liquidation preferences and conversion rights, of those shares, without stockholder approval;

permit the removal of directors by the stockholders only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock;

opt in to Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with any interested stockholder (generally speaking a stockholder who holds 15% or more of our voting stock) for three years from the date such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder unless certain conditions are met; and

subject to certain exceptions, prohibit any person from acquiring shares of our common stock if such person is, or would become as a result of the acquisition, a “Substantial Holder” (as defined in our charter).

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

Item 1B.   Other Information

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

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

On July 24, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a $1 billion common stock repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months. The following table summarizes the common stock repurchases under the program for the six month period ended March 29, 2020:
