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 condensed 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, 2021.

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 2,~~April 3, 2022 and ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The new standard also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years and was adopted by the Company on October 1, 2021. The adoption 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 expedients 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 ASU 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) a qualifying strategic transaction or business development opportunity, including an acquisition or divestiture, whether or not consummated, associated with the purchase or sale of net assets or equity interest of a business such as a business combination, equity investment, joint venture or purchase or sale of non-controlling interest; (2) subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquisition including realized costs for the integration of acquired operations into the Company’s shared service platforms, termination of redundant or duplicative positions and locations, operations and/or products, employee transition costs, professional fees, and other post business combination expenses; and (3) divestiture support and separation costs consisting of incremental costs incurred to facilitate separation of a divested business or operation, including the development of shared service operations impacted by a separation, including impacts to shared platforms and personnel impacted by the transaction. Qualifying cost types not specified above include, but are not limited to, banking, advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, or other professional fees; and including impairment loss on existing assets considered duplicative or redundant and directly attributable 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 2,~~April 3, 2022 and ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021:

In particular, the Company has agreed to indemnify ASSA for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by the Company, and ASSA has agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities assumed by ASSA, in each case as described in the ASPA. The Company and ASSA have agreed to enter into related agreements ancillary to the acquisition that will become effective upon the consummation of the acquisition, including a customary transition services ~~agreement~~agreements and reverse transition services ~~agreement.~~agreements.

Although the timing and outcome of the regulatory process cannot be predicted, the Company currently expects the merger review process to last for several months. As such, though there can be no assurance when the transaction will close, if at all, the Company does ~~not~~ expect the transaction to close before ~~June~~September 2022.

The ASPA also contains certain termination rights, including the right of either party to terminate the ASPA if the consummation of the acquisition has not occurred on or before December 8, 2022 (the “Termination Date”).

Other

Income from discontinued operations before income taxes -– Other includes incremental pre-tax loss on sale for changes to tax and legal indemnifications and other agreed-upon funding under the acquisition agreement for 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 for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained, and Energizer agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities assumed, in each case as described in the acquisition agreements. As of ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company recognized ~~$28.4~~$26.5 million and $36.5 million, respectively, related to indemnification payables in accordance with the acquisition agreements, including ~~$10.8~~$9.8 million and $17.3 million, respectively, within Other Current Liabilities, primarily attributable to current income tax indemnifications, and ~~$17.6~~$16.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively, within Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, primarily attributable to income tax indemnifications associated with previously recognized uncertain tax benefits. Subsequently, effective January 2, 2020, Energizer closed its divestitures of the European based Varta® consumer battery business in the EMEA region to Varta AG and transferred all respective rights and indemnifications attributable to the Varta® consumer battery business provided by the GBL sale to Varta AG.

The Company entered into a series of transaction service agreements ("TSA") and reverse TSAs with Energizer to support various shared back office administrative functions including finance, sales and ~~market,~~marketing, information technology, human resources, real estate and supply chain, customer service and procurement. TSAs associated with the Varta® consumer battery business were transferred to Varta AG as part of the subsequent divestiture by Energizer. Charges associated with TSAs are recognized as bundled service costs under a fixed fee structure by the respective service or function and geographic location, including one-time pass-through charges for warehousing, freight, amongst others, with variable expiration dates up 24 months. Charges associated with TSAs and reverse TSAs are recognized as a reduction to or increase in the respective operating costs as a component of operating expense or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions supported by or provided to the Company. Additionally, due to the commingled nature of the shared administrative functions, cash would be received and/or paid on behalf of the respective counterparty's operations, resulting in cash flow being commingled with operating cash flow of the Company which would settle on a net basis with TSA charges. During the three month period ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, the Company recognized net gain of $0.1 million, consisting of TSA charges of $0.1 million. During the six month period ended April 4, 2021, the Company recognized net loss of ~~$1.8~~$1.7 million, consisting of TSA charges of ~~$0.8~~$0.9 million and reverse TSA costs of $2.6 million. The Company ~~had~~ exited all outstanding TSAs and reverse TSAs in January 2021.

NOTE 3 -– ACQUISITIONS

~~Rejuvenate~~Tristar Business Acquisition

On ~~May 28, 2021,~~February 18, 2022, the Company acquired all ~~ownership~~of the membership interests in ~~For Life~~HPC Brands, LLC, which consist of the home appliances and cookware business of Tristar Products, ~~LLC ("FLP"~~Inc. (the "Tristar Business") for a purchase price of ~~$301.5 million. FLP is~~$325.0 million, net of customary purchase price adjustments and transaction costs, plus a ~~leading manufacturer~~potential earn-out payment of ~~household cleaning, maintenance,~~up to $100.0 million if certain gross profit targets are achieved in calendar year 2022, and ~~restoration~~another earn-out payment of $25.0 million if certain other gross profit targets are achieved in calendar year 2023. The acquisition of the Tristar Business was funded by a combination of cash on hand and incremental borrowings incurred as a new tranche under the Company's existing credit agreement. See Note 10 - Debt for further detail on the amendment to the credit agreement.

The Tristar Business includes a portfolio of home appliances and cookware products sold under the ~~Rejuvenate® brand.~~ PowerXL®, Emeril Legasse®, and Copper Chef® brands. The PowerXL® and Copper Chef® brands were acquired outright by the Company while the Emeril Legasse® brand remains subject to a trademark license agreement with the license holder (the "Emeril License"). Pursuant to the Emeril License, the Company will continue to license the Emeril Lagasse® brands in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom for certain designated product categories of household appliances within the HPC segment, including small kitchen food preparation products, indoor and outdoor grills and grill accessories, and cookbooks. The Emeril License is set to expire effective December 31, 2022 with options of up to three one-year renewal periods following the initial expiration. Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to pay the license holder a percentage of sales, with minimum annual royalty payments of $1.5 million, increasing to $1.8 million in subsequent renewal periods.

The net assets and operating results of ~~FLP,~~the Tristar Business, since the acquisition date of ~~May 28, 2021,~~February 18, 2022, are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the ~~H&G~~HPC reporting segment for the three and six month periods ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022.

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 ~~May 28, 2021~~February 18, 2022 acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of ~~$147.0~~$103.7 million was recorded as goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill includes value associated with profits earned from market and expansion capabilities including the success of new product launches through direct response television and direct to consumer channels, new brand development and products brought to market by the Company, synergies from integration and streamlining operational activities, and the going concern of the business and the value of the assembled workforce. The 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 account that are not finalized relate to amounts for purchase price, intangible assets, deferred taxes, goodwill, and components of working capital.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS (continued)

The Company recorded a contingent consideration liability of $30.0 million as of the date of the acquisition to reflect the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration for the earn-out payments. The fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the earn-out based on the likelihood of reaching specific targets. The fair value measurement is determined based on significant unobservable inputs and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. The key assumptions considered include the estimated amount and timing of projected gross profits, volatility, estimated discount rates, and risk-free interest rate. In each reporting period after the acquisition, the Company will reassess the value of the contingent consideration liability and may recognize an increase or decrease in the fair value in its consolidated statements of earnings after the measurement period. Changes may result from changes in actual results and projected forecasts. The inputs and assumptions may not be observable in the market, but reflect the assumptions the Company believes would be made by a market participant. There were no changes in the contingent consideration liability during the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2022 following the acquisition date of February 18, 2022. As of April 3, 2022, the current portion of the contingent consideration was classified as Other Current Liabilities for the calendar year 2022 payment of $25.0 million and the long-term portion as Other Long-Term Liabilities for the calendar year 2023 payment of $5.0 million on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

~~NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS (continued)~~

The Company performed a valuation of the acquired inventories, tradenames, ~~technology,~~ 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.

Tradename – The Company valued the PowerXL® tradename, ~~Rejuvenate®,~~ 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 ~~tradename was~~tradenames were not owned. ~~A royalty~~Royalty rate of ~~12%~~3% for valuation of ~~Rejuvenate®~~PowerXL® was 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 ~~tradename.~~tradenames. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flow was ~~10.5%~~16% based on the ~~a weighted-average cost~~implied transaction internal rate of ~~capital~~return for the overall ~~business.~~business, excluding cost synergies. The resulting discounted cash flows were then tax-effected at the applicable statutory rate.

Customer relationships – The Company ~~valued~~values customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method under a market participant distributor method of the income approach. In determining the fair value of the customer relationships, the multi-period excess earnings approach values the intangible asset at the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the customer relationship after deducting contributory asset charges. Only expected sales from current retail customers were used, which are estimated using average annual expected growth rate of 4%2.7%. The Company assumed a customer attrition rate of 5%, which is supported by historical attrition rates. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flow was ~~10.5%~~12% based upon a weighted average cost of capital for the overall business and income taxes were estimated at the applicable statutory rate.

~~Technology~~ – The ~~Company valued technology using an income approach,~~following pro forma financial information summarizes the ~~relief-from-royalty method. Under this method,~~combined results of operations for the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the technology was not owned. A royalty rate of 3% was selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions, related licensing agreementsCompany and the ~~importance of~~acquired Tristar Business, as though the ~~technology and profit levels, among other considerations. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flow was 10.5% and income taxes~~companies were ~~estimated at the applicable statutory rate.~~

~~Pro forma results have not been presented as the Rejuvenate acquisition is not considered individually significant to the consolidated results of the Company.~~

~~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 headquartered 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 excess~~beginning of the ~~purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of $90.7 million~~Company’s fiscal 2021.

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 the tradenames, the Good Boy® brand and the 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 royaltiespro forma financial information includes, where applicable, adjustments for: (i) additional amortization expense that would have been recognized related to ~~be paid if~~ the ~~tradenames were~~acquired intangible assets, (ii) additional operating expense from the excess fair value adjustments on ROU operating lease assets for below market rents (iv) additional cost of sales related to the inventory valuation adjustment, (v) transaction costs and other one-time non-recurring costs and (vi) the estimated income tax effect on the acquired Tristar Business and pro forma adjustments.

Through the acquisition of the Tristar Business, the Company acquired substantially all of the operations, employees and net assets of Tristar Products, Inc. and entered into a series of TSAs for 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 the excluded product groups that did not ~~owned. Royalty rates~~convey with the transaction. Charges associated with TSAs are recognized as bundled service charges under a fixed fee structure by the respective service or function along with one-time pass-through charges, including warehousing, and freight, among others, from the acquired Tristar Business that settle on a net basis between the two parties. Charges for TSA services are recognized as a reduction to the respective operating costs as a component of ~~8% for valuation~~operating expense or cost of ~~Good Boy®~~goods sold depending upon the functions supported by the acquired Tristar Business. During the three and ~~3% for Wildbird® and Other were selected based on consideration~~six month periods ended April 3, 2022, the Company recognized TSA income of ~~several factors, including prior transactions, related trademarks and tradenames, other similar trademark licensing, and transaction agreements~~$0.5 million. Additionally, the Company assumed the cash accounts supporting both the acquired Tristar Business and the ~~relative profitability~~excluded product groups, and perceived contribution of the tradenames. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flow was 11% based on 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~~commingled nature of operations, cash would be received and/or paid on behalf 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~~excluded product groups' operations, resulting in cash flow being commingled with operating cash flow of the ~~Company.~~Company which would settle on a net basis with TSA charges. As of April 3, 2022, there was an outstanding payable to Tristar Products, Inc. of $0.7 million included within Other Current Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

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. Since the announcement of the project and completion of the Company’s divestitures of GBL and GAC during the year ended September 30, 2019, the project focus includes the transitioning of the Company’s continuing operations in a post-divestiture environment and separation from Energizer TSAs and reverse TSAs. Refer to Note 2 – Divestitures for further discussion of continuing involvement with Energizer. The initiative includes review of global processes and organization design and structures; headcount reductions and transfers; and rightsizing the Company’s shared operations and commercial business strategy in certain regions and local jurisdictions; among others. Total cumulative costs incurred associated with the project were ~~$154.0~~$156.3 million as of ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, with approximately ~~$1.7~~$0.9 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project costs are anticipated to be incurred through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

GPC ~~Edwardsville 3PL Transition -~~Distribution Center Transitions – During the year ended September 30, 2021, the GPC segment entered into an initiative to update its supply chain and distribution operations within the US to optimize and improve fill rates, address capacity needs attributable to recent and projected growth in the business, improve product availability to meet increasing customer demand and improve overall operational effectiveness and throughput. The initiative includes the transition of its third party logistics (3PL) service provider at its existing Edwardsville, IL distribution center, ~~to optimize~~incorporating new facilities into the distribution footprint by expanding warehouse capacity and securing additional space, and updating engagement and processes with suppliers and its ~~operations~~transportation and ~~improve fill rates to meet customer requirements and handle projected growth.~~logistics handlers. Costs incurred to facilitate the transition of service providers include one-time implementation and start-up costs, ~~with the new service provider,~~ including the integration of the provider systems and technology, incremental compensation and incentive-based compensation to maintain performance during the transition period, duplicative and redundant costs, ~~between providers,~~ and incremental costs for various disruptions in the operations during the transition period, including supplemental transportation and storage ~~costs as~~costs. Due to the ~~new 3PL operations are fully integrated~~continued supply chain constraints impacting product availability experienced by the GPC segment, the Company has extended the initiative and ~~transitioned.~~expanded the project to include additional long-term capacity to be available later in the 2022 fiscal year. Total cumulative costs incurred associated with the project were ~~$21.8~~$27.4 million as of ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, with approximately ~~$3.7~~$5.3 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project costs are anticipated to be incurred through the ~~first half~~remainder of the ~~fiscal~~ year ending September 30, 2022.

~~SAP S/4 HANA ERP Transformation -~~ During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company began an initiative to transform its enterprise-wide operating system to SAP S/4 HANA. The initiative is a multi-year project that will include various project costs, including software configuration and implementation costs that would be recognized as a capital expenditure or deferred cost in accordance with applicable accounting policies. Certain restructuring related costs associated with the initiative include project development and management costs, and professional services with business partners engaged towards planning, design and business process review that would not qualify as software implementation costs. The Company is currently in the planning and design stage of the project. Total cumulative costs incurred associated with the project were $6.7 million as of January 2, 2022 with approximately $10.1 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project is a multi-year implementation with various phases that will be realized throughout the project timeline, depending upon business unit and/or jurisdiction, and is anticipated to be incurred through September 30, 2024.

Other Restructuring Activities – The Company may enter into small, less significant initiatives and restructuring related activities primarily to reduce costs and improve margins throughout the organization. Individually these activities are not substantial and occur over a shorter time period (generally less than 12 months).

The Company offers standard warranty coverage on certain products that it sells and accounts for this as an assurance warranty. As such, no transaction price is allocated to the standard warranty, and the Company records a liability for product warranty obligations at the time of sale to a customer based upon historical warranty experience. See Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies for further information regarding the Company’s standard warranties.

With the acquisition of the Tristar Business, the Company also sells extended warranty coverage for certain Tristar products that are sold directly to consumers, which it accounts for as service warranties. In most cases, the extended warranty is sold as a separate contract and separate performance obligation that is distinct from the product. The extended warranty transaction revenue is initially recognized as deferred revenue and amortized on a straight-line basis to Net Sales over the life of the contracts following the standard warranty period. Revenue attributable to extended warranties was first recognized with the acquisition of the Tristar

~~NOTE 12 -~~ DERIVATIVES

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

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~~inventory purchases or the sale of ~~product or inventory purchases.~~product. Until the ~~sale~~purchase or ~~purchase~~sale is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("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 or Net Sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2023. The derivative net ~~loss~~gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is ~~$2.5~~$5.2 million, net of tax. At ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of ~~$299.6~~$276.7 million and $279.9 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the impact of designated cash flow hedges and the pre-tax gain (loss) recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six month periods ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 and ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, respectively:

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes

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, 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 gain 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 2,~~April 3, 2022, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through July 20, 2022. At ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had ~~$178.4~~$109.8 million and $198.4 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 2,~~April 3, 2022.

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 2,~~April 3, 2022, and September 30, 2021, there was no cash collateral outstanding and no 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 2,~~April 3, 2022, 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 2,~~April 3, 2022 and ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, pre-tax:

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 1211 – 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).

During the three month period ended January 3, 2021, the Company held equity investments in Energizer common stock valued at quoted market prices, recognizing unrealized income from changes in fair value and realized income from the sale of its investment, plus dividend income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company sold its remaining investment in Energizer common stock in January 2021.

NOTE ~~18 -~~16 – INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 and ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021 was as follows:


		Three Month Periods Ended				Three Month Periods Ended				Six Month Periods Ended
Effective tax rate	Effective tax rate	January 2, 2022		January 3, 2021			Effective tax rate	April 3, 2022		April 4, 2021		April 3, 2022		April 4, 2021
SBH	SBH	34.7	%	(34.9)	%		SBH	21.3	%	13.3	%	29.2	%	(75.2)	%
SB/RH	SB/RH	34.5	%	(32.6)	%		SB/RH	21.1	%	10.2	%	29.1	%	(58.7)	%

The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 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 ("NOL"), which do not allow it to take advantage of the foreign-derived intangible income deduction. The Company’s federal effective tax rate on GILTI is therefore 21%.

During the ~~three~~six month period ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, the Company recorded a $3.2 million tax benefit as an adjustment to the estimated benefit recorded in Fiscal 2021 for the Final Regulations issued under Internal Revenue Code Section 951A relating to the treatment of income that is subject to a high rate of tax under the GILTI regime. The Company completed and filed the amended return implementing these Regulations during the ~~three~~six month period ending ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022. The Company also recorded a $2.5 million tax benefit during the ~~three~~six month period ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 for windfalls associated with the vesting of share compensation during the ~~quarter.~~year. The Company generated a pretax loss on continuing operations ~~in the fiscal quarter,~~year to date, so additional discrete tax benefits result in an increase to the ~~quarter’s~~ tax rate.

As of ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, and September 30, 2021, there was $1.8 million of income tax receivable and $8.0 million of income taxes payable, respectively, with its parent company, on the SB/RH Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, calculated as if SB/RH were a separate taxpayer.

NOTE ~~19 -~~17 – 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 court subsequently appointed separate counsel to represent the HRG shareholder class. In August 2021, the Company reached an agreement in principle ~~subject to final documentation and approval of the Court,~~ to settle the claims of the Spectrum Legacy class, the cost of which has been defrayed by third-party insurance. In October 2021, the Company reached an agreement in principle ~~subject to final documentation and approval of the Court,~~ to settle the claims of the HRG class, the cost of which also has been defrayed by third-party insurance. In March 2022, the court granted approval to both settlements with formal opinion and order forthcoming.

Environmental. The Company has provided for an estimated cost of ~~$10.7~~$10.5 million and $11.3 million as of ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, associated with environmental remediation activities at some of its current and former manufacturing sites, included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated 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.

Product Liability. The Company may be named as a defendant in lawsuits involving product liability claims. The Company has recorded and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management’s estimate for aggregate exposure for such liabilities based upon probable loss from loss reports, individual cases, and losses incurred but not reported. As of ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $3.3 million and $3.0 million in product liability, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated 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.

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. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.4 million of warranty accruals as of ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary operating metric in evaluating the business and making operating decisions. 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 compensation costs consist of costs associated with long-term incentive compensation arrangements that generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the ~~three~~six month period ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, compensation costs included incentive bridge awards previously issued due to changes in the Company’s LTIP that allowed for cash based payment upon employee election but do not qualify for shared-based compensation, which were fully vested in November 2020. See Note ~~16 -~~14 – Share Based Compensation for further details;

•Transaction related charges are attributable to costs from qualifying strategic transaction or business opportunities, including an acquisition or divestiture, whether or not consummated, subsequent integration related project costs, divestiture support and incremental separation costs. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation & Significant Accounting Policies for further details;

•Incremental costs towards the SAP S/4 HANA ERP transformation to implement our enterprise-wide operating systems to SAP S/4 HANA on a global basis. This is a multi-year project that includes various costs, including software configuration and implementation costs that would be recognized as capital expenditures or deferred costs in accordance with applicable accounting policies, with certain costs recognized as operating expense associated with project development and management costs, and professional services with business partners engaged towards planning, design and business process review that would not qualify as software implementation costs.

Acquisitions

The Company periodically evaluates strategic transactions that may result in the acquisition of a business or assets that qualify as recognition of a business combination. Acquisitions may impact the comparability of the consolidated or segment financial information with the inclusion of operating results for the acquired business in periods subsequent to acquisition date, the inclusion of acquired assets, both tangible and intangible (including goodwill), and the related amortization and depreciation of acquired assets. Moreover, the comparability of consolidated or segment financial information may be impacted by incremental costs to facilitate the transaction and supporting integration activities of the acquired operations with the consolidated group. The following acquisition activity may have a significant impact on the comparability of the financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

•On February 18, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the Tristar Business for a purchase price of $325.0 million, net of customary purchase price adjustments and transaction costs. The Tristar Business includes a portfolio of home appliances and cookware products sold under the PowerXL®, Emeril Legasse®, and Copper Chef® brands. The net assets and operating results of the Tristar Business are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the HPC reporting segment for the three and six month period ended April 3, 2022.

•On May 28, 2021, the Company acquired ~~all ownership~~100% of the membership interests in For Life Products, LLC ("FLP") for a purchase price of $301.5 million. FLP is a ~~leading~~ manufacturer of household cleaning, maintenance, and restoration products sold under the Rejuvenate® brand. The net assets and operating results of FLP are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and reported within the H&G reporting segment for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022.

•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 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 2,~~April 3, 2022 and ~~the three month period ended January 3,~~April 4, 2021, effective as of the acquisition date of October 26, 2020.

See Note 3 – Acquisitions in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for more information.

Restructuring Activity

We continually seek and develop operating strategies to improve our operational efficiency, match our ~~manufacturing~~ capacity and product costs to market demand and better utilize our manufacturing ~~resources.~~and distribution resources in order to reduce costs, increase revenues, increase or maintain our current profit margins. 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. 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.

These changes and updates are inherently difficult and are made even more difficult by current global economic conditions. Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from such operating strategies may be affected by a number of other macro-economic factors such as COVID-19, or inflation increased interest rates many of which are beyond or control.

Refinancing Activity

Financing activity during and between comparable periods may have a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

•On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into the third amendment to the Credit Agreement that provides for incremental capacity on the Revolver Facility of $500 million that was used to support the acquisition of the Tristar Business and the continuing operations and working capital requirements of the Company. Borrowings under the incremental capacity are subject to a borrowing rate which is subject to SOFR 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, with an increase by 25 basis points 270 days after the effective date of the third amendment and an additional 25 basis points on each 90 day anniversary of such date.

•During the year ended September 30, 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 on March 3, 2021. The Company also redeemed $250.0 million of the 6.125% Notes and $550.0 million of the 5.75% Notes, with a call premium of $23.4 million and non-cash write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $7.9 million recognized as interest expense.

Russia-Ukraine War

The impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war and the sanctions imposed by other nations in response to the conflict are evolving and may have an impact on the Company's consolidated operations and cash flow attributable to operations and distribution within the region. The Company does not maintain a significant level of operations within Ukraine and continues to evaluate its strategy with Russia and the existing operations within the territory. The Company does not maintain material assets within Russia, and the Company's assets in Russia consist mostly of working capital associated with the in-country distribution operations. In response to matters within the territory, we have adjusted our risks associated with the collectibility and realizable value for working capital within the region. Depending on the strategic direction we take towards our existing operations in Russia, there may be incremental restructuring costs or potential impairments to remediate.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting regulations continue to cause economic and social disruptions that contribute to ongoing uncertainties and may have an impact on the operations, cash flow and net assets of the Company. 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. The Company expects a significant continuing inflationary environment, marked with higher manufacturing, employment, and logistics costs as well as continued constraints with transportation and supply chain disruptions.

~~Despite the supply implications, the Company has experienced increased demand for our products compared to pre-pandemic levels. There~~ Additionally, there have also been changes in consumer needs and spending during the COVID-19 pandemic, and while demand for our products remain strong, our teams continue to monitor demand shifts and there can be no assurance as to the level of demand that will prevail throughout the fiscal year. 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 COVID-19 pandemic has not had a materially negative impact on the Company’s liquidity position and we have not observed any material impairments. We continue to actively monitor our global cash and liquidity, and if necessary, could reinitiate mitigating efforts to manage non-critical 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 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, the emergence of variants and the effectiveness of vaccines against these variants, and any governmental and public actions taken in response.

Inflation and Supply Chain Constraints

While certain aspects of our financial results have been favorably impacted by increased demand attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to favorable consumer conditions including incremental financial assistance provided by various government agencies, our business continues to experience challenges towards product availability to meet customer demand. We have experienced increased labor shortages in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in transportation and supply chain disruptions. Together with labor shortages and higher demand for talent, the current economic environment is driving higher wages. Our ability to meet labor needs, control wage and labor-related costs and minimize labor disruptions will be key to our success of operating our business and executing our business strategies. Furthermore, our business is experiencing an inflationary environment, which has negatively impacted our gross margin rates. We are unable to predict how long the current inflationary environment, including increased energy costs, will continue. Additionally, we have experienced further supply chain disruptions from unanticipated shutdowns in our supply base and limitations within transportation and logistics impacting availability and increasing freight costs within the overall global supply chain. We expect the economic environment to remain uncertain as we navigate the current geopolitical environment, the COVID-19 pandemic, labor challenges, supply chain constraints and the current inflationary environment, including increasing energy and commodity prices.

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”) and adjusted EBITDA margin. 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 rates 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 year.

The following is a reconciliation of reported net sales to organic net sales for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 compared to net sales for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021:

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:

•Restructuring and related charges consist of project costs associated with the restructuring initiatives across the Company's segments. See Note 4 -– Restructuring and Related Charges 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;~~acquisition, including, but not limited to, the costs attributable to the step-up in inventory value and the incremental value in ROU operating lease assets with below market rent, among others;

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

•Gains attributable to the ~~Company~~Company's investment in Energizer common stock during the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021. ~~which the Company subsequently sold its~~with such remaining shares sold in January 2021. See Note 1312 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for further details;

•Other adjustments are primarily attributable toto: (1) incremental trade spend reserves realized from the transition and integration of the Rejuvenate business into the H&G segment and the Company's systems and processes during the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2022, (2) incremental fines and penalties ~~realized~~ for delayed shipments ~~following~~attributable to the GPC distribution transition ~~of third-party logistics service provider in GPC~~initiative during the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 2, 2022;~~April 3, 2022, and ~~(2)~~(3) costs associated with Salus as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of reported net sales for the respective period and segment.

Gross Profit. Gross profit and gross profit margin for the three and six month ~~period~~periods decreased primarily due to accelerated freight and input cost inflation pacing ahead of pricing actions, lower volume compared to prior year ~~post-COVID volume growth~~reopening trends and stimulus spending, with constrained supply chain reducing product availability to meet customer demands, partially offset by productivity and product mix ~~partially offset by lower productivity.~~improvements.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three month period increased due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of ~~$10.9~~$23.4 million from higher distribution and transportation costs, ~~and~~ operating inefficiencies from labor inflation and turnover with continued investment in marketing and new product development, offset by lower incentive compensation costs, ~~including share based compensation,~~ with an increase in restructuring and related charges of ~~$8.2~~$12.2 million and ~~decrease~~an increase in transaction related costs of ~~$4.1 million.~~$12.0 million for further investments in strategic transactions and restructuring initiatives. See Note 4 – Restructuring and Related Charges and Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional detail on restructuring initiatives and transaction-related charges, respectively. Operating expenses for the six month period increased due to an increase in selling and general and administrative expenses of $34.6 million attributable to higher distribution and transportation costs, operating inefficiencies from labor inflation and turnover, continued investment in marketing and new product development, offset by lower incentive compensation costs, with an increase in restructuring and related charges of $20.4 million and increase in transaction related costs of $7.9 million for further investments in strategic transactions and restructuring initiatives. See Note 4 – Restructuring and Related Charges and Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional detail on restructuring initiatives and transaction-related charges, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three and six month ~~period~~periods decreased due to ~~a lower average borrowing rate following~~the refinancing ~~activities~~activity in the prior year resulting in a make whole premium of $23.4 million and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $7.9 million recognized the prior year. See Note 10 – Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional detail.

Other ~~non-operating income, net.~~Non-Operating Income, Net. Other non-operating income for the three and six month ~~period~~periods decreased due to realized gains on our investment in Energizer common stock in the prior year which the Company sold its remaining investment in January 2021.

Income Taxes.Our estimated annual effective tax rate was impacted for the three and six month ~~period~~periods by income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to U.S. tax, including the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income, certain nondeductible expenses, foreign rates that differ from the US federal statutory rate, and state income taxes. During the ~~three~~six month period ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, the Company recorded a $3.2 million benefit due to the impact of an amended return filed during the ~~quarter~~year and the Company also recognized an additional $2.5 million benefit due to windfalls associated with the vesting of share compensation during the ~~quarter.~~year.

Income From Discontinued Operations. Income or loss attributable to discontinued operations primarily reflect the income from the discontinued operations of the HHI segment and the incremental changes to tax and legal indemnifications associated with the Company's divestitures of its GBL and GAC divisions to Energizer during the year ended September 30, 2019. Income from discontinued operations attributable to the HHI segment ~~decreased~~increased during the three month period ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 due to pricing increases offsetting increasing inflationary costs and freight spend and lower depreciation and amortization while held for sale. Income from discontinued operations attributable to the HHI segment decreased during the six month period ended April 3, 2022 due to lower sales volume following ~~post pandemic~~post-pandemic volumes in the prior year, increasing inflationary costs and higher freight spend ~~partially offset by~~outpacing pricing actions and lower depreciation and amortization while held for sale.

Noncontrolling Interest. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interest reflects the share of the net income of our subsidiaries, which are not wholly-owned, attributable to the accounting interest. Such amount varies in relation to such subsidiary’s net income or loss for the period and the percentage interest not owned by SBH.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows used in SBH's continuing operations increased ~~$145.1~~$105.1 million primarily due to a decrease in operating results with an increase in cash paid towards working capital for inventory and inflationary costs on raw materials and products, labor and freight, coupled with an increase in cash paid towards for taxes, ~~transaction~~strategic transactions and restructuring ~~related charges, partially offset by lower cash paid for interest.~~initiatives. Cash flows used in SB/RH continuing operations increased ~~$173.0~~$131.0 million primarily due to the items previously discussed above except for an incremental operating cash outflow to its parent company for federal net operating losses under the Company’s tax sharing agreement in the prior year.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for SBH continuing operations ~~decreased $62.8~~increased $265.0 million primarily due to the cash paid for the acquisition, net cash acquired, for the purchase of the Tristar Business of $314.3 million compared to the purchase of Armitage of $129.8 million in the prior year, the net proceeds from the sale of Energizer common stock of ~~$60.5~~$73.1 million in the prior year, with an increase in capital expenditures of ~~$6.5~~$7.7 million predominantly due to incremental investments in updating the Company's enterprise-wide operating system to SAP S/4 HANA. Cash flows used in investing activities of SB/RH decreased primarily due to the items previously discussed.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for continuing operations increased ~~$430.4~~$647.0 million primarily due to increased borrowings on the Revolver Facility to support the Tristar Business acquisition and working capital requirements from continued supply disruptions, partially offset by increase in stock repurchase activity and higher share based stock award withholding payments from the vesting on LTIP grants. During the ~~three~~six month period ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, the Company realized ~~$465.0~~$775.0 million of proceeds from the Revolver Facility with amortizing payments on other outstanding debt of ~~$3.2~~$6.5 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. During the ~~three~~six month period ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, the Company repurchased ~~$110.0~~$134.0 million of treasury stock at an average cost of ~~$97.44 with~~$97.34, primarily through the Company's 10b5-1 repurchase plan which the Company completed during the six month period ended April 3, 2022. There was no issuance of common stock, other than through the Company’s share-based compensation ~~plans.~~plans and which is recognized non-cash financing activities. See Note 1513 – Shareholders’ Equity and Note 14 - Share Based Compensation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail. During the ~~three~~six month periods ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 and ~~January 3,~~April 4, 2021, SBH made cash dividend payments of ~~$17.3~~$34.4 million and ~~$17.8~~$35.7 million, respectively, or $0.42 per share. Cash flows from financing activity of SB/RH increased ~~$456.2~~$670.8 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. Additionally, we believe the availability under our credit facility and access to capital markets are sufficient to achieve our longer-term strategic plans. As of ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, the Company had borrowing availability of ~~$116.0~~$308.4 million, net of outstanding letters of credit, under our credit facility. Liquidity and capital resources of SB/RH are highly dependent upon the cash flow activities of SBH.

~~Table of Contents~~

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 may, from time-to-time, seek to repurchase shares of our common stock. During the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2021, SBH entered into a $150.0 million rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan to facilitate daily market share repurchases through September 16, 2022, until the cap set forth in the plan was reached or until the plan was terminated. The Company completed share repurchases of $150.0 million under the rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan during the three month period ended April 3, 2022. Any further repurchase activity, if any, will dependent on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements and other factors.

We maintain a capital structure that we believe provides us with sufficient access to credit markets. When combined with strong levels of cash flow from operations, our capital structure has provided the flexibility necessary to pursue strategic growth opportunities and 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 ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, 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 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 the fiscal year, as well as extended credit terms and/or promotional discounts throughout the peak season.

~~The~~From time to time the Company enters into factoring agreements and customers' supply chain financing arrangements to provide for the sale of certain trade receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions. The factored receivables are accounted for as a sale without recourse, and the balance of the receivables sold are removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the time of the sales transaction, with the proceeds received recognized as an operating cash flow. Amounts received from customers for factored receivables are recognized as a payable and remitted to the factor based upon terms of the factoring agreements. Additionally, the Company facilitates a voluntary supply chain financing program to provide certain of its suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from the Company (the Company's trade payables) to an unrelated third-party financial institution under the sole discretion of the supplier and the participating financial institution. There are no guarantees provided by the Company or its subsidiaries and we do not enter into any agreements with the suppliers regarding their participation. The Company's responsibility is limited to payments on the original terms negotiated with its suppliers, regardless of whether the suppliers sell their receivables to the financial institution, and continue to be recognized as accounts payable on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with cash flow activity recognized as an operating cash flow.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not, as of the date of this report, materially impacted our operations and cash flows 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. Nonetheless, we continue to actively monitor our global cash balances and liquidity, and if necessary, could reinitiate mitigating efforts to manage non-critical spending and assess operating spend to preserve cash and liquidity. Despite recent inflationary costs and rising freight costs, 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 economic and social disruption attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which, depending on future developments, could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future.

During the three month period ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, there has been no material changes to our debt obligations, lease obligations, employee benefit obligations or other contractual obligations or commercial commitments previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2021 other than the increased revolver capacity and borrowings under the Company's Credit Agreement, which have a maturity date of June 30, 2025 and are subject to repayment or re-borrowing by the Company without penalty. See Note 10 – Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail. 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 2, 2022.~~ April 3, 2022 with the exception of the increase in capacity and borrowings under our Revolver Facility that are subject to variable interest rates. If market interest rates continue to 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 SOFR and LIBOR affect our interest expense. As of April 3, 2022, we had $1,171.0 million subject to variable interest rates, or 35.6% of total debt, which increased from $398.0 million and 15.7% of total debt as of September 30, 2021. Assuming an increase to market rates of 1.0% as of April 3, 2022, we would incur an increase to annual interest expense of $10.0 million.

For additional information, refer to Note 10 – Debt and Note 1211 – 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, 2021.

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. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022 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.

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 1917 – 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, 2021 filed with the SEC on November 23, ~~2021.~~2021 and in Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for quarterly periods subsequently filed. We believe that as of ~~January 2,~~April 3, 2022, with the exception of changes in the risk factors discussed below, there have 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, ~~2021.~~2021 and in Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for quarterly periods subsequently filed..

~~The proposed acquisition~~We face a number of ~~Tristar Products is subject~~local, regional, and global uncertainties and potential disruptions which could adversely impact our businesses.

We face a number of local, regional, and global uncertainties and potential disruptions which could adversely impact our businesses, our financial performance or liquidity, and our ability to ~~regulatory approval.~~

The consummation of the acquisition of Tristar Products, Inc. (“Tristar”) is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things, (i) receipt of customary antitrust regulatory approvals, (ii) the absence ofcarry out our go-forward plans and strategies. These economic uncertainties and potential disruptions include a ~~material adverse effect on Tristar, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties (generally subject to a customary material adverse effect standard (as described~~slow-down in the ~~purchase agreement),~~general economy; reduced market growth rates; increased inflation rates and cost of goods; increased fuel and employee costs; higher interest rates; tighter credit markets; changes in government policies, including the imposition of tariffs or ~~other customary materiality qualifications), and (iv) material compliance by~~import costs; the ~~parties with their respective covenants and agreements under~~deterioration of economic relations between countries or regions; the ~~purchase agreement. The Company may not receive the required approval and other clearances for the transaction,~~escalation or ~~they may not be received in a timely manner,~~continuation of armed conflict, hostilities or economic sanctions between countries or regions, which ~~may~~can negatively impact our ability to ~~complete~~supply or sell our products and otherwise conduct our day-to-day operations. For instance, the ~~transaction~~conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led us to terminate, reduce or significantly change our business activities in these regions and certain surrounding regions. These efforts may have to continue or accelerate, including us having to further reduce or cease doing business within Russia, Ukraine, and certain surrounding regions, which could have a negative impact on our ability to collect outstanding accounts receivables, impose additional costs and negatively impact our business performance. In addition, the economic sanctions and hostilities in Russian and Ukraine, may negatively impact our and our customers’ financial viability, which may negatively impact us or the demands or economic viability of our customers not only in Russia but also in other parts of the world.

Additionally, global economic conditions or restrictions from armed conflicts or the COVID-19 pandemic may cause our suppliers, distributors, contractors, or other third-party partners to suffer financial or operating 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. For instance, our suppliers in Asia and other parts of the world have, and may continue to experience, shutdown or limitations in their operations as result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may contain or limit our ability to supply or distribute our products to our customers and negatively impact our business. Moreover, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, delays in the receipt of certain goods from international and domestic shipping origins as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and more general global supply chain constraints in both fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. While we have taken certain remediating actions in response to the ongoing global supply chain challenges, these measures may not be sufficient and other supply chain challenges may continue to arise that are beyond our control and could negatively affect our business and financial performance.

Moreover, we continue to transition our third-party logistics service provider at our existing Edwardsville, IL distribution center and are also adding another distribution center nearby. These efforts require incorporating a new service provider into our distribution capabilities and adding another distribution center into our operations. These efforts are complicated and require coordination among a number of our stakeholder, including our suppliers and transportation and logistics handlers. These changes and updates are inherently difficult and are made even more difficult by the other uncertainties and potential disruptions our business faces. We do not control the operations of these third parties and are dependent on them to execute our orders and deliver our products in a timely ~~matter, or at all. If such approvals are received, they may impose terms, conditions, or restrictions that may cause a~~and efficient way. The failure of ~~the closing conditions set forth~~these third parties to fulfill all of their obligations to us could result in ~~the purchase agreement or~~lost sales, penalties and other adverse effects on our business. While we believe that could have a material detrimental impact on the business to be acquired, significantly diminish the benefits of the transaction, and/or the Company following completion of the transaction. Any delay in obtaining the required authorizations, approvals, or consents or the imposition of unfavorable terms, conditions or restrictions could materially detrimentally impact the business to be acquired, significantly diminish the benefits of the transaction, and/or the Company.

~~We are subject to risks relating to a number of pending or anticipated M&A transactions~~optimizing our distribution centers and ~~restructurings.~~

~~As previously announced, on September 8, 2021, we announced the proposed sale~~other aspects of our ~~HHI division~~supply chain and customer delivery network will allow us to ~~ASSA ABLOY (the “HHI Divestiture”). On February 4, 2022, we announced that we had entered into the agreement~~manage our inventory more efficiently and more efficiently respond to acquire Tristar (the “Tristar Acquisition”), and announced plans to pursue combining the Tristar business to be acquired with our existing Home and Personal Care business (the “Appliance Restructuring”) with the intent to ultimately pursue a separate, pure play Global Appliance business (the creation of such company, the “New Appliances Company”). On February 4, 2022, we also announced plans to pursue transforming the Company to a pure play Company composed of our Global Pet Care and Home & Garden business (the creation of such company, the “New Spectrum”), which is dependent upon completing the sale of the HHI Divestiture, the Tristar Acquisition, the Appliances Restructuring, and the creation of the New Appliances Company. There are numerous risks and uncertainties associated with completing the HHI Divestiture and the Tristar Acquisition, and completing the transactions required to complete the Appliances Restructuring and create the New Appliances Company and the New Spectrum (collectively, the “Transactions”), including:

•~~consummation of the Transactions are subject to a number of conditions and requirements, some of which are outside of our control;~~

•the Company’s existing, and future, business relationships with third parties, including customers, suppliers and service providers, may be disrupted due to uncertainty associated with the Transactions;

•~~we may incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Transactions, which costs may exceed those currently anticipated;~~

•~~we intend to pay for certain of the Transactions, including the Tristar Acquisition, with cash on hand and proceeds of new indebtedness. There~~customer demands, there can be no assurance that we will realize such ~~additional indebtedness will be available and/~~benefits. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, delays in executing these efforts. Our inability to execute, or ~~available on attractive terms;~~timely execute these efforts, has resulted in us being unable to supply, or timely supply, our products to our customers or incurring higher costs and reductions in revenues, incurring penalties imposed by our customers, or may disrupt our business operations.

•~~unforeseen events, including~~Furthermore, our raw materials are sourced from industries characterized by a limited supply base, and their cost can fluctuate substantially.

Furthermore, any price increases passed along to our customers or consumers could significantly reduce demand for our products and could negatively affect our business and financial performance.

On February 18, 2022 we completed the acquisition of the Tristar Business. Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of the Tristar Business depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate the acquired business into our current HPC segment in a manner that facilitates growth opportunities and achieves projected growth trends without adversely affecting revenue and investments in future growth. The failure to meet the challenges involved in combining the Tristar Business with our current HPC segment and to realize the anticipated benefits from such combination, including expected synergies, could adversely affect our results of operations.

The overall combination of our businesses may also result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, and loss of customer and other business relationships. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others: diversion of management’s attention to integration matters; difficulties in integrating operations and systems; challenges in conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures between the two companies; difficulties in integrating employees and attracting and retaining key personnel, challenges in retaining existing, and obtaining new customers, suppliers, employees and others; difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities, financing plans and growth prospects from the combination; difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a larger HPC segment; challenges in continuing to develop valuable and widely accepted products; contingent liabilities that are larger than expected; and potential unknown liabilities, adverse consequences and unforeseen increased expenses associated with the acquisition of the ~~Transaction~~Tristar Business.

Table of Contents
