NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in millions, unaudited)

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

NOTE 1– BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Period-End

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 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 ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019.~~2020.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which was further updated and clarified by the 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 also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating expected credit losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis effective October 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 6 - Receivables and 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 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 costs~~Qualifying 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 - Divestitures and Note 3 – Acquisitions for further discussion. The following table summarizes transaction related charges incurred by the Company during the three and six month periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019:~~2020:

During the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 the Company recognized incremental pre-tax loss on sale for changes to tax and legal indemnifications and other agreed-upon funding under the acquisition agreement for ~~its~~ sale and divestiture of its Global Batteries & Lighting ("GBL") and Global Auto Care ("GAC") divisions to Energizer Holdings, Inc. ("Energizer") during the year ended September 30, 2019.

The Company and Energizer agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the acquisition agreement and for certain other matters. The Company has agreed to indemnify Energizer for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by the Company, and Energizer agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities assumed by Energizer, in each case as described in the acquisition agreements. As of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and September 30, 2020, ~~there are $37.2~~the Company recognized $36.1 million and $51.6 million, respectively, related to indemnification payables in accordance with the acquisition agreements, ~~respectively,~~ including ~~$17.5~~$17.0 million and $33.0 million, respectively, within Other Current Liabilities, ~~on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, respectively,~~ primarily attributable to current income tax indemnifications, and ~~$19.7~~$19.1 million and $18.6 million, respectively, within Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Financial Position, ~~respectively,~~ primarily attributable to income tax indemnifications associated with previously recognized uncertain tax benefits.

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 $29.0 million received during the year ended September 30, 2020. The divestiture did not constitute a strategic shift for the Company and therefore was not considered discontinued operations. The divestiture of the Coevorden Operations was defined as a disposal of a business and a component of the GPC segment and reporting unit, resulting in the allocation of $10.6 million of GPC goodwill to the disposal group based upon a relative fair-value allocation. Assets held for sale are recognized at their estimated fair value less cost to sell, which resulted in the recognition of a loss on assets held for sale of ~~$32.8~~$25.7 million during the ~~three~~six month period ended ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019.~~2020.

The Company and UPP entered into related agreements ancillary to the acquisition that became effective upon the consummation of the acquisition, including a transaction service arrangement (TSA). The Company ~~will continue~~has continued to operate its commercial DCF business following the divestiture of the Coevorden Operations and entered into a manufacturing agreement with UPP to supply the continuing DCF business, subject to an incremental tolling charge. Additionally, the Company ~~will lease~~leases and ~~operate~~operates the distribution center on behalf of UPP for up to 18 months following the divestiture under a lease agreement.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS

Armitage Acquisition

On October 26, 2020, the Company acquired all of the stock of Armitage Pet Care Ltd ("Armitage") for approximately $187.7 million. Armitage is a premium pet treats and toys business in Nottingham, United Kingdom, including a portfolio of brands that include Armitage's dog treats brand, Good Boy®, cat treats brand, Meowee!®, and Wildbird®, bird feed products, among others, that are predominantly sold within the United Kingdom. The net assets and operating results of Armitage, since the acquisition date of October 26, 2020, are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the GPC reporting segment for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021.

~~Spectrum Brands~~The Company has recorded an allocation of the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the October 26, 2020 acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of $90.7 million was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill includes value associated with profits earned from market and expansion capabilities, synergies from integration and streamlining operational activities, the going concern of the business and the value of the assembled workforce. The purchase price and purchase price allocation of Armitage were finalized as of April 4, 2021, with no significant changes to preliminary fair values recorded were determined based upon a valuation with estimates and assumptions used in such valuation that are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of acquisition accounting that are not yet finalized relate to amounts for intangible assets, deferred taxes, and residual goodwill.amounts.

~~Spectrum Brands~~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. ~~Discount~~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 Armitage 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.

NOTE 4 - RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

Global Productivity Improvement Program – During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company initiated a company-wide, multi-year program, which consists of various restructuring related initiatives to redirect resources and spending to drive growth, identify cost savings and pricing opportunities through standardization and optimization, develop organizational and operating optimization, and reduce overall operational complexity across the Company.

The Revolver Facility is subject to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum. The LIBOR borrowings are subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor. Our Revolver Facility allows for the LIBOR 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. As a result of borrowings and payments under the Revolver Facility, the Company had borrowing availability of ~~$584.5~~$576.6 million at ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, net of outstanding letters of credit of ~~$15.5~~$23.4 million.

On March 3, 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Spectrum Brands, Inc ("SBI"), completed its offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Senior Notes due March 2031, and entered into a new Term Loan Facility (as defined below) in the aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, expiring March 2028. Using the proceeds received, the Company redeemed $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.125% Notes in a cash tender offer and call and $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.75% Notes in a cash tender offer, with a make whole premium of $23.4 million and a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $7.9 million recognized as interest expense for the three and six month periods ended April 4, 2021.

Spectrum Term Loan Facility

On March 3, 2021, the Company entered into the first amendment (the "Amended Credit Agreement") to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated as of June 30, 2020. The Amended Credit Agreement includes certain modified terms from the existing Credit Agreement to provide for a new term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan Facility is in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million and will mature on March 3, 2028. The Term Loan Facility is subject to a rate per annum equal to either (1) the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), subject to a 0.50% floor, adjusted for statutory reserves, plus a margin of 2.00% per annum or (2) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus a margin of 1.00% per annum. The Term Loan 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 to the expected upcoming LIBOR transition. The Term Loan Facility was issued net of a $1.0 million discount and the Company incurred $5.1 million of debt issuance costs, which is being amortized with a corresponding charge to interest expense over the remaining life of the loan.

Pursuant to a guarantee agreement, SB/RH and the direct and indirect wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries of SBI have guaranteed SBI’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement and related loan documents. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, SBI and such subsidiary guarantors have pledged substantially all of their respective assets to secure such obligations and, in addition, SB/RH has pledged the capital stock of SBI to secure such obligations.

Subject to certain mandatory prepayment events, the Term Loan Facility is subject to repayment according to scheduled amortizations, with the final payment of amount outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest, due at maturity. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends or make certain other distributions, and merge or consolidate or sell assets, in each case subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement.

3.875% Notes

On March 3, 2021, SBI issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "3.875% Notes") and entered into the indenture governing the 3.875% Notes (the “2031 Indenture”). The 3.875% Notes mature on March 15, 2031 and are unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by SB/RH and by SBI’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement.

SBI may redeem all or part of the 3.875% Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2026 at certain fixed redemption prices as set forth in the 2031 Indenture. In addition, prior to March 15, 2026, SBI may redeem the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Before March 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal notes with cash equal to the net proceeds that SBI raises in equity offerings at specified redemption price as set forth in the 2031 Indenture. Further, the 2031 Indenture requires SBI to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding 3.875% Notes upon the occurrence of a change of control of SBI, as defined in the 2031 Indenture.

The 2031 Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of the Company and its direct and indirect restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or certain other restricted payments, sell assets, issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries, enter in transactions with affiliates, or effect a merger or consolidation.

In addition, the 2031 Indenture provides for customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to make payments when due or an acceleration of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

The Company recorded $7.6 million of fees in connection with the offering of the 3.875% Notes, which have been capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized over the remaining life of the 3.875% Notes.

Cash Flow Hedges

Commodity Swaps. The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes of its HHI segment. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials using commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, the Company had a series of brass and zinc swap contracts outstanding through ~~May~~August 31, 2022. The derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is ~~$1.1~~$0.9 million, net of tax.

The Company had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and September 30, 2020:

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or inventory purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net Sales or purchase price variance in Cost of Goods Sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through ~~June 30,~~September 27, 2022. The derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is ~~$10.1~~$4.6 million, net of tax. At ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of ~~$298.2~~$318.4 million and $273.4 million, respectively.

NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVES (continued)

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to economically hedge a portion of the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Taiwanese Dollars, Philippine Pesos, Australian Dollars, Polish Zlotys, Mexican Pesos, or Japanese Yen, among others. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through ~~March 29,~~June 30, 2021. At ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company had ~~$941.7~~$773.5 million and $802.5 million, respectively, of notional value of such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.

The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which were not significant as of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021.

The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral because of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. As of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, and September 30, 2020, there was 0 cash collateral outstanding and 0 posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions.

Net Investment Hedge

SBI has €425.0 million aggregate principle amount of 4.00% Notes designated as a non-derivative economic hedge, or net investment hedge, of the translation of the Company’s net investments in Euro denominated subsidiaries at the time of issuance. The hedge effectiveness is measured on the beginning balance of the net investment and re-designated every three months. Any gains and losses attributable to the translation of the Euro denominated debt designated as net investment hedge are recognized as a component of foreign currency translation within AOCI, and gains and losses attributable to the translation of the undesignated portion are recognized as foreign currency translation gains or losses within Other Non-Operating Expense (Income). As of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 the full principal amount was designated as a net investment hedge and considered fully effective. The following summarizes the gain (loss) from the net investment hedge recognized in Other Comprehensive Income for the three and six month periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019,~~2020, pre-tax:

During the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, the Company did ~~not~~0t recognize any pre-tax gain (loss) in earnings related to the translation of the undesignated portion of debt obligation. The pre-tax loss related to the translation of the undesignated portion of the debt obligation recognized in earnings was ~~$1.7~~$0.5 million and $1.2 million and for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019.~~2020. Net gains or losses from the net investment hedge are reclassified from AOCI into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of Euro denominated subsidiaries.

The fair value measurements of the Company’s debt represent non-active market exchanged traded securities which are valued at quoted input prices that are directly observable or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. See Note 10 – Debt for additional detail on outstanding debt of SBH and SB/RH. See Note 12 – Derivatives for additional detail on derivative assets and liabilities.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and short term debt approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3).

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, 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 $125.0 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~~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 ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019:~~2020:

The following is a summary of share based compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019~~2020 for SBH and SB/RH, respectively.

SB/RH	SB/RH	$	7.5	$	12.8		SB/RH	$	8.0	$	12.6	$	15.5	$	25.4

The Company recognizes share based compensation expense 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~~and/or adjusted free cash flow) over a designated period of time. Additionally, the Company regularly issues individual RSU awards under its equity plan to its Board members and individual employees for recognition, incentive, or retention purposes, when needed, which are primarily conditional upon time-based service conditions and included as a component of share-based compensation.

In the prior year, the Company provided for a portion of its annual management incentive compensation plan ("MIP") to be paid in common stock of the Company, in lieu of cash payment. During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company changed its MIP payout policy that previously provided for the issuance of stock for a designated pool of recipients to be fully funded through cash distribution with no stock issuance. Share based compensation expense associated with the annual MIP for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019~~2020 was ~~$4.4~~$4.3 million and $8.6 million. There iswas 0 portion of annual MIP recognized in the share based compensation expense for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021.

NOTE 17 - INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019~~2020 was as follows:


		Three Month Periods Ended				Three Month Periods Ended				Six Month Periods Ended
Effective tax rate	Effective tax rate	January 3, 2021		December 29, 2019			Effective tax rate	April 4, 2021		March 29, 2020		April 4, 2021		March 29, 2020
SBH	SBH	21.3	%	(1.9)	%		SBH	29.9	%	24.3	%	24.4	%	15.9	%
SB/RH	SB/RH	21.3	%	(2.5)	%		SB/RH	29.9	%	23.5	%	24.4	%	15.0	%

The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to U.S. tax, including the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), certain nondeductible expenses, foreign rates that differ from the US federal statutory rate, and state income taxes. The Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, which do not allow it to take advantage of the foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) deduction. The Company’s federal effective tax rate on GILTI is therefore 21%.

On November 20, 2020, the U.S. Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued Final Regulations (“Regulations”) under Internal Revenue Code Sections 245A and 951A related to the treatment of previously disqualified basis under the GILTI regime. The Regulations are effective for Fiscal 2022, but the Company can elect to apply them to Fiscal 2018 through Fiscal 2021. The Company expects to satisfy the requirements necessary to apply the Regulations retroactively and has therefore estimated and recorded a benefit of $5.3 million for the impact on years prior to Fiscal 2021 in the ~~three~~six month period ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021. The Company also expects to apply the Regulations to Fiscal 2021 and has included the impact in the estimated annual effective tax rate.

As of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, and September 30, 2020, there was ~~$8.9~~$16.0 million and $1.8 million of income taxes payable on the SB/RH Condensed Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Financial Position, payable to its parent company, calculated as if SB/RH were a separate taxpayer.

NOTE 18 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Energizer Holdings, Inc.

Effective as of the close of the GBL and GAC divestitures during the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company and Energizer entered into a series of TSAs and reverse TSAs that support various shared back office administrative functions including finance, sales and marketing, information technology, human resources, real estate and supply chain, customer service and procurement; to support both the transferred GBL operations and the continuing operations of ~~Spectrum,~~the Company, respectively, within the various regions in which they operate. Charges associated with TSAs and reverse TSAs are recognized as bundled service costs under a fixed fee structure by the respective service or function and geographic location and one-time pass-through charges, including warehousing, freight, among others, to and from Energizer that settle on a net basis between the two parties. Charges to Energizer for TSA services are recognized as a reduction of the respective operating costs incurred by ~~Spectrum~~the Company and recognized as a component of operating expense or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by ~~Spectrum.~~the Company. Charges from Energizer for reverse TSA services are recognized as operating expenses or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by Energizer. Effective January 2, 2020, Energizer closed its divestiture of the European based Varta® consumer battery business in the EMEA region to Varta AG, which also transferred TSAs and reverse TSAs associated with the divested entities to be assumed by Varta AG. As a result, a portion of the TSA and reverse TSA charges with Energizer were transferred to Varta AG. The TSAs and reverse TSAs have an overall expected time period of 12 months following the close of the transactions with some variability in expiration dependent upon the completed transition of the respective service or function and its geographic location and provide up to 12 additional months for a total duration of up to 24 months. ~~As of January 3, 2021, the~~The Company has exited ~~substantially~~ all outstanding TSAs and reverse TSAs with Energizer and Varta ~~with an insignificant portion to close during~~in January 2021.

In addition to the TSAs and reverse TSAs, the Company, Energizer and Varta AG will receive cash and/or make payments on behalf of the respective counterparty’s operations as part of the shared administrative functions, resulting in cash flow being commingled with the operating cash flow of the Company. The Company recognizes a net payable or receivable with Energizer and Varta AG for any outstanding TSA and reverse TSA related services and net working capital attributable to commingled cash flow. As of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company had net receivable of ~~$3.8~~$2.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, with Energizer included in Other Receivables on the Company’s Condensed ~~Statement~~Statements of Financial Position. As of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company had net payable of ~~$0.4~~$1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, with Varta AG included in Other Current Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Financial Position.

The supply agreement ~~has~~had a contracted term of 24 months, ~~expiring~~and expired in January 2021 with no renewal. Material and inventory on hand to support the supply agreement is recognized as inventory of the Company.

During the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020, the Company recognized $5.6 million and $10.9 million of revenue attributable to the Energizer supply agreement. As of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding ~~receivable~~receivables of ~~$2.7~~$0.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively, from Energizer in Trade Receivables, Net on the Company’s Condensed ~~Statement~~Statements of Financial Position associated with the H&G supply agreement.

NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

Shareholder Litigation. On July 12, 2019, an amended consolidated class action complaint filed earlier in 2018 was filed in the United States 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. 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 parties are discussing appropriate actions that could address the procedural 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 not reached and approved, the Company intends to vigorously defend the litigation.

Environmental. The Company has provided for an estimated cost of $11.6 million as of ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 and September 30, 2020, associated with environmental remediation activities at some of its current and former manufacturing sites, included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Financial Position. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Product Warranty. The Company recognizes an estimated liability for standard warranty on certain products when we recognize revenue on the sale of the warranted products. Estimated warranty costs incorporate replacement parts, products and delivery, and are recorded as a cost of goods sold at the time of product shipment based on historical and projected warranty claim rates, claims experience and any additional anticipated future costs on previously sold products.

COVID-19

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

As of the date of this report, we continue to be classified as an essential business in the jurisdictions that have mandated closures of non-essential businesses, and therefore have been allowed to remain open and continue to operate to the extent possible under existing regulations with any limitation in production output being short-term in nature. Despite the supply implications experienced in the prior year, the Company continues to experience continued customer 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 throughout the fiscal 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 and have not experienced a significant impact from permanent store closures or retail bankruptcies. We believe the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic to be uncertain and may contribute to retail volatility and consumer purchase behavior changes. The magnitude of the financial impact on our quarterly and annual results is highly dependent on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and how quickly the U.S. and global economies resume normal operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a materially negative impact on the Company’s liquidity position. The sweeping nature of COVID-19 pandemic makes it extremely difficult to predict the long-term ramifications on our financial condition and results of operations. However, the likely overall economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~is viewed as highly negative~~ to the U.S. and global ~~economies.~~economies remains uncertain. We ~~have initiated~~continue to actively monitor our global cash balances and liquidity, and if necessary, could reinitiate mitigating efforts to manage non-critical capital spending and assess operating spend to preserve cash and liquidity. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs, and we expect to maintain access to the capital markets, although there can be no assurance of our ability to do so. We have also not observed any material impairments 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.

Acquisitions

On October 26, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Armitage Pet Care Ltd ("Armitage") for $187.7 million. Armitage is a premium pet treats and toys business in Nottingham, United Kingdom including a portfolio of brands that include Armitage's dog treats brand, Good Boy®, cat treats brand, Meowee!®, and Wildbird® bird feed products, among others, that are predominantly sold within the United Kingdom. The net assets and results of operations of Armitage, insince the acquisition date of October 26, 2020, are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the GPC reporting segment for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021.

On March 10, 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Omega Sea, LLC (“Omega”), a manufacturer and marketer of premium fish foods and consumable goods for the home and commercial aquarium markets, primarily consisting of the Omega brand, for a purchase price of approximately $16.9 million. The results of Omega’s operations are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the GPC reporting segment for the three and six month periods ended April 4, 2021 and for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 since the acquisition date.

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 ~~ended January 3, 2021.~~under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

See Note 2 – Divestitures in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for more information on the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and discontinued operations.

Restructuring Activity

We continually seek to improve our operational efficiency, match our manufacturing capacity, and product costs to market demand and better utilize our manufacturing resources. We have undertaken various initiatives to reduce manufacturing and operating costs, which may have a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The most significant of these initiatives is the Global Productivity Improvement Program, which began during the year ended September 30, 2019 and has continued through the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021. See Note 4 - Restructuring and Related Charges in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information.

Refinancing Activity

Refinancing activity has a significant impact on the comparability of financial results of the condensed consolidated financial statements. On March 3, 2021, the Company completed its offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Notes and entered into a new Term Loan Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, and redeemed $250.0 million of the 6.125% Notes and $550.0 million of the 5.75% Notes, with a make whole premium of $23.4 million and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $7.9 million recognized as interest expense during the three and six month periods ended April 4, 2021. See Note 10 - Debt to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for more information.

Non-GAAP Measurements

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

Organic Net Sales. We define organic net sales as net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and impact from acquisitions (when applicable). We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rate and acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’s net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior ~~period.~~year. The following is a reconciliation of reported net sales to organic net sales for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 compared to net sales for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~December~~March 29, ~~2019:~~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:

•Transaction related charges that consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, including development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred ~~as part of the divestitures~~ and exiting of transition service arrangements (TSAs) and reverse TSAs. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation & Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for further details;

•Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock. During the three month period ended April 4, 2021, the Company sold its remaining shares in Energizer common stock. See Note 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for further details;

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

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

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities for SBH continuing operations decreased ~~$62.3~~$68.1 million primarily due to increase in cash paid for acquisition business of $112.8 million due to the acquisition of Armitage, ~~of $129.8 million,~~partially offset by net increase in proceeds from the sale of Energizer common stock of ~~$60.5 million with a reduction in capital expenditures compared to the prior period. Subsequent to January 3, 2021, the~~$44.5 million. The Company sold its remaining investment in Energizer common stock ~~for proceeds of $12.6 million~~ in January 2021.

~~Capital Expenditures~~

Capital expenditures ~~for the Company were $11.8~~decreased $3.6 million ~~and $18.7 million for the three month periods ended January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, respectively. The reduction in capital expenditures~~ predominantly ~~attributable~~due to timing of capital activities ~~during the fiscal year~~ as we expect to make investment in capital projects consistent to prior years. Cash flows from investing activities of SB/RH increased primarily due to the items previously discussed.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities for continuing operations ~~increased $151.2~~decreased $115.8 million ~~for the three month period ended January 3, 2021~~ primarily due to increased net proceeds from debt ~~paydown and refinancing with higher treasury share~~due to borrowings from the Revolver Facility in the prior year to support working capital needs, offset by increased stock repurchase activity in the prior ~~period.~~

During the six month period ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020, SBH made cash dividend payments of $35.7 million and $39.1 million, or $0.42 per share, respectively. Cash flows from financing activity of SB/RH decreased $318.7 million and is highly dependent upon the financing cash flow activities of SBH.

Liquidity Outlook

Our ability to 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 return value to our shareholders. Our ability to make principal and interest payment on borrowings under our debt agreements and our ability to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on the ability to generate cash in the future, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other conditions. Based upon our current level of 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 ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, the Company had borrowing availability of ~~$584.5~~$576.6 million, net of outstanding letters of ~~credit.~~credit, under our credit facility. Additionally, we believe the availability under our credit facility and access to capital markets are sufficient to achieve our longer-term strategic plans. Liquidity and capital resources of SB/RH are highly dependent upon the cash flow activities of SBH.

~~At January 3, 2021,~~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 consolidated group.

We maintain a capital structure that we ~~were in compliance~~believe provides us with ~~all covenants under~~sufficient access to credit markets. When combined with strong levels of cash flow from operations, our capital structure has provided the ~~Senior Credit Agreement~~flexibility necessary to pursue strategic growth opportunities and ~~the indentures governing the 5.00% Notes, 5.50% 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. 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. 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.

~~Refer~~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 - Debt~~customer 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 ~~Notes~~the fiscal year, as well as extended credit terms and/or promotional discounts throughout the peak season.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not, as of the date of this report, materially impacted our operations or demand for our products and has not had a materially negative impact on the Company’s liquidity position, although there can be no assurance that it won't have a material negative impact on us in the ~~future,~~future. Nonetheless, we ~~have initiated~~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 ~~improve liquidity.~~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.

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 ~~three~~six month period ended ~~January 3, 2021.~~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, 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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 three month period ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, SBH continued updating certain internal controls and supporting processes to address previously identified ~~deficiencies~~material weakness related to ineffective information technology general controls (ITGCs) related to user access and role change reviews over certain information technology systems in the EMEA region attributable to ineffective risk assessment and communication of control activities related to the transfer of ITGC operations provided TSAs. SBH will continue to develop and update such internal controls and processes during the fiscal year 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 three month period ended ~~January 3,~~April 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.
