Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the balance sheet, statements of income, comprehensive income, statements of shareholder’s equity and cash flows prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. As such, these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited 2018 consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

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

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of $82.0$78.4 million and $83.3$79.8 million, respectively, as of March 30,June 29, 2019 related to the Company's operating leases. The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net earnings or cash flows. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The cost of products sold line item includes costs related to the purchase and manufacture of goods sold by the Company. Among these costs are inbound freight charges, duties, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, depreciation expense, internal transfer costs and warehousing costs of raw material, work in process and packing materials. The warehousing and distribution costs of finished goods are included in delivery, sales and administrative expenses ("DS&A"). Distribution costs are comprised of outbound freight and associated labor costs. Fees billed to customers associated with the distribution of products are classified as revenue. The distribution costs included in DS&A were $32.8 million and $35.5$35.8 million for the firstsecond quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.respectively, and $65.6 million and $71.3 million for the respective year-to-date periods.

The Company frequently makes promotional offers to members of its independent sales force to encourage them to fulfill specific goals or targets for other activities, ancillary to the Company's business, but considered separate and distinct services from sales, which are measured by defined group/team sales levels, addition of new sales force members or other business-critical functions. The awards offered are in the form of product awards, special prizes or trips.

The Company accrues for the costs of these awards during the period over which the sales force qualifies for the award and reports these costs primarily as a component of DS&A expense. These accruals require estimates as to the cost of the awards, based upon estimates of achievement and actual cost to be incurred. During the qualification period, actual results are monitored, and changes to the original estimates are made when known. Promotional and other sales force compensation expenses included in DS&A expense totaled $78.6$71.6 million and $88.4$82.7 million for the firstsecond quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.respectively and $150.2 million and $171.1 million for the respective year-to-date periods.

Basic per share information is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted per share information is calculated by also considering the impact of potential common stock on both net income and the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

On March 29, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tupperware Nederland B.V., Administradora Dart, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Tupperware Brands Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (the “Subsidiary Borrowers”), amended and restated its multicurrency Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), swingline lender, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as syndication agents, joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Credit Agreement replaces the Credit Agreementcredit agreement dated September 11, 2013 and as amended (the “Old Credit Agreement”) and, other than an increased aggregate amount that may be borrowed, an improvement in the consolidated leverage ratio covenant and a slightly more favorable commitment fee rate, has terms and conditions similar to that of the Old Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement makes available to the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers a committed five-year credit facility in an aggregate amount of $650 million (the “Facility Amount”). The Credit Agreement provides (i) a revolving credit facility, available up to the full amount of the Facility Amount, (ii) a letter of credit facility, available up to $50 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $100 million of the Facility Amount. Each of such facilities is fully available to the Company and the Facility Amount is available to the Subsidiary Borrowers up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $325 million. With the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase, on up to three occasions, the Facility Amount by a total of up to $200 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850 million), subject to certain conditions. As of March 30,June 29, 2019, the Company had total borrowings of $366.2$368.9 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, with $204.5$194.9 million of that amount denominated in euros.

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

Similar to the Old Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, generally restrict the Company's ability to incur subsidiary indebtedness, create liens on and sell assets, engage in certain liquidations or dissolutions, engage in certain mergers or consolidations, or change lines of business. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications.

The financial covenants provide for a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.75 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 (defined as consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated total interest expense). For purposes of the Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring gains as well as non-cash charges and certain other items. As of March 30,June 29, 2019, and currently, the Company had considerable cushion under its financial covenants as well as the necessary bond credit ratings to prevent default.

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

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

At March 30,June 29, 2019, the Company had $364.9$362.7 million of unused lines of credit, including $282.2$279.6 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $82.7$83.1 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.

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

Fair value hedges are entered into with financial instruments such as forward contracts, with the objective of limiting exposure to certain foreign exchange risks primarily associated with accounts payable and non-permanent intercompany transactions. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. In assessing hedge effectiveness, as of the beginning of 2019, the Company made the accounting policy election in accordance with ASU 2017-12 to exclude forward points and record their impact in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item for 2019, Other (income) expense. Prior to 2019, the forward points had been included as a component of interest expense. The forward points on fair value hedges resulted in pretax income of $3.7$4.4 million and $6.1$4.7 million in the firstsecond quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.respectively, and $8.1 million and $10.7 million for the respective year-to-date periods.

The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from certain forecasted purchases and classifies these as cash flow hedges. The majority of cash flow hedge contracts that the Company enters into relate to inventory purchases. At initiation, the Company's cash flow hedge contracts are generally for periods ranging from one month to fifteen months. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings when settled through the same line item as the transaction being hedged. As such, the balance at the end of the current reporting period in other comprehensive income, related to cash flow hedges, will generally be reclassified within the next twelve months. The associated asset or liability on the open hedges is recorded in other current assets or accrued liabilities, as applicable. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company made an accounting policy change as of December 30, 2018 to include forward points in the assessment of effectiveness for cash flow hedges causing the impact from forward points to be recorded as part of other comprehensive income compared to interest expense as it previously had been recorded. Based on the interest expense incurred for open cash flow hedges as of December 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $1.2 million, net of taxes, to accumulated comprehensive income and retained earnings to reflect this accounting policy change. TheThere was an immaterial impact from forward points recorded in other comprehensive income for activity related to the firstsecond quarter and year-to-date periods of 2019 was $0.8 million.2019. The Company recognized $1.0$1.1 million expense in costand $2.1 million of products soldmanufacturing variances that will be capitalized and amortized over actual months of inventory turns related to the forward point impact from the settlement of cash flow hedges in the firstsecond quarter and year-to-date periods of 2019.

While the forward contracts used for net equity and fair value hedges of non-permanent intercompany balances mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled, whereas the hedged items do not generate offsetting cash flows. The net cash flow impact of these currency hedges for the first quarters ofyear-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were inflowsoutflows of $0.8$7.5 million and $5.4$7.8 million, respectively.

The Company considers the total notional value of its forward contracts as the best measure of the volume of derivative transactions. As of March 30,June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to purchase currencies were $87.9$110.7 million and $186.8 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to sell currencies were $89.1$114.6 million and $184.6 million, respectively. As of March 30,June 29, 2019, the notional values of the largest positions outstanding were to purchase $28.8$56.3 million of U.S. dollars $26.9and $42.7 million of euros, and $19.9to sell $37.9 million of Swiss francs and to sell $26.2$30.4 million of Mexican pesos.

Fair values were determined based on third party quotations (Level 2 fair value measurement):
