NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Note 1:Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tupperware Brands Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively “Tupperware” or the “Company”, with all intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared following the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the Company's opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the balance sheet, statements of income, comprehensive income, statements of shareholder’s equity and cash flows prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 20182019 consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.28, 2019. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Hedging:Liquidity and Impact of COVID-19: On December 30, 2018,The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “pandemic,” has spread to many countries and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease, such as shelter-in-place orders, resulting in the temporary closure of schools and non-essential businesses, and these measures may remain in place for a significant period of time. During the first quarter of 2020, the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business was most pronounced in Europe and Asia Pacific where the Company adopted new guidanceexperienced partial or country-wide lockdowns of operations in various markets, including China, France, Italy, and the Philippines. The first quarter impact of COVID-19 largely affected March revenues, financial results and liquidity, specifically in the second half of the month.  While the duration and severity of this pandemic is uncertain, the Company currently expects that its results of operations in the second quarter of 2020 will have the most significant impact of the effects of COVID-19, and that subsequent periods will also be negatively impacted. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.  
A top priority for the Company as it navigates through the global COVID-19 pandemic is the safety of its employees and their families, sales force and consumers, and to mitigate the impact on hedge accounting, which required a cumulative-effect adjustmentits operations and financial results. The Company will continue to proactively respond to the opening balancesituation and may take further actions that alter the Company’s business operations as may be required by governmental authorities, or that the Company determines are in the best interests of retained earningsits employees, sales force and accumulated other comprehensive income of $5.0 million, net of taxes. As partconsumers. In order to ensure safety and protect the health of the adoption,employees, and to comply with applicable government directives, the Company electedhas modified its business practices to include forward points in the assessment of hedge effectiveness for net equityallow its employees to work remotely from home wherever possible, incorporate virtual meetings and cash flow hedges and exclude forward points in the assessment for fair value hedges. In addition, the Company now records the entire change in fair value of hedging instruments in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Prior to adoption, the impact from forward points was recorded as interest expense. Refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on impact from new hedge accounting guidance.
Leases: On December 30, 2018, the Company adopted new guidance on lease accounting using the modified retrospective method, which required a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of $7.1 million, net of taxes. Prior periods have not been restated. The standard did not materially impact consolidated net income or liquidity, and did not have an impact on debt-covenant compliance under the Company's debt agreements. The new guidance was applied torestrict all operating and capital leases at the date of initial application. Leases historically referred to as capital leases are now referred to as finance leases under the new guidance.
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, and as a basis for its lease policies, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The Company also elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in which it is the lessee, and made an accounting policy election to not account for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. In addition, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company recognizes payments on these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of $79.3 million and $80.3 million, respectively, as of September 28, 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.employee travel.

Note 9:Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company's goodwill and intangible assets relate primarily to the December 2005 acquisition of the direct-to-consumer businesses of Sara Lee Corporation. In the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, the Company completed the annual assessments for all of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets, concluding $19.7 million of impairment existed as of the third quarter 2019, mainly for the impairment of goodwill associated with the Fuller Mexico beauty and personal care products business in the amount of $17.5 million. The Nutrimetics tradename was also impaired by $2.2 million due to declining sales trends, leaving a $3.5 million carrying value as of September 28, 2019. There were 0 impairments in 2018.

The impairment evaluation of the goodwill associated with the Fuller Mexico reporting unit involved comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including the goodwill balance, after consideration of impairment to its long-lived assets. There were 0 impairments of any long-lived assets. The fair value analysis for Fuller Mexico was completed using the income approach, which was considered a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The significant assumptions used in the income approach included estimates regarding future operations and the ability to generate cash flows, including projections of revenue, costs, utilization of assets and capital requirements. The income approach, or discounted cash flow approach, also requires an estimate as to the appropriate discount rate to be used. The most sensitive estimate in this valuation is the projection of operating cash flows, as these provide the basis for the estimate of fair market value. The Company’s cash flow model used a forecast period of ten years with annual revenue growth rates ranging from negative 8 percent to positive 4 percent, a compound average growth rate of 0.2 percent, and a 2.5 percent growth rate used in calculating the terminal value. The discount rate used was 14.9 percent. The growth rates were determined by reviewing historical results of the operating unit and the historical results of the Company’s other similar business units, along with the expected contribution from growth strategies being implemented. As the fair value of Fuller Mexico was less than the carrying value by more than the recorded goodwill balance, the remaining balance of goodwill recorded at Fuller Mexico was written off.
Note 10:9:Segment Information

Credit Agreement
On March 29, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tupperware Nederland B.V., Administradora Dart, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Tupperware Brands Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (the “Subsidiary Borrowers”), amended and restated its multicurrency Credit Agreement, amended by Amendment No. 1 dated August 28, 2019 (so as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), swingline lender, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as syndication agents, joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Credit Agreement replaces the credit agreement dated September 11, 2013 and as amended (the “Old Credit Agreement”) and, other than an increased aggregate amount that may be borrowed, an improvement in the consolidated leverage ratio covenant and a slightly more favorable commitment fee rate, has terms and conditions similar to that of the Old Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement makes available to the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers a committed five-year credit facility in an aggregate amount of $650$650.0 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$50.0 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $100$100.0 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$325.0 million. With the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase, on up to 3 occasions, the Facility Amount by a total of up to $200$200.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850$850.0 million), subject to certain conditions. As of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the Company had total borrowings of $323.7$388.1 million outstanding under theits Credit Agreement, with $173.7$245.1 million of that amount denominated in euros.Euro.
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") or the EURIBOR rate 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,Prime Rate, (y) the NYFRB rate plus 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 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 percent to 0.875 percent, the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Borrowings ranges from 1.375 percent to 1.875 percent, and the applicable margin for the commitment fee ranges from 0.150 percent to 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 SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the Credit Agreement dictatedCompany had a weighted average interest rate of 2.0 percent with a base rate spread of 150 basis points which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate of 2.5 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 restrictlimit the ability of the Company's abilitysubsidiaries to incur subsidiary indebtedness and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to 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.
TheOn February 28, 2020, the Company amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) in order to modify certain provisions, including the financial covenants provide forcovenant. Previously, the Company had to maintain at specified measurement periods a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio ofthat was not greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.01.00. Following the Amendment, the Company is required to maintain at the last day of each quarterly measurement period a Consolidated Leverage Ratio not greater than or equal to the ratio as set forth below opposite the period that includes such day (or, if such day does not end on the last day of the calendar quarter, that includes the last day of the calendar quarter that is nearest to such day):

Under the Credit Agreement and consistent with the Old Credit Agreement, Dart Industries Inc. (the “Guarantor”) unconditionally guarantees all obligations and liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers relating to the Credit Agreement, supported by a minimumsecurity interest coverage ratioin certain "Tupperware" trademarks and service marks. The Amendment eliminated the requirement that a Non-Investment Grade Ratings Event, as defined in the Credit Agreement, must occur before the Company is required to cause the Additional Guarantee and Collateral Requirement, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to be satisfied. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company is required to cause certain of 3.0its domestic subsidiaries to 1.0 (defined as consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated total interest expense)become guarantors and the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries are required to pledge additional collateral (the “Additional Guarantee and Collateral”).
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 SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, and currently, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended to prevent the Company from exceeding the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four fiscal quarters ending in March 2020. If the Company had exceeded the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, this could have constituted an Event of Default, potentially resulting in a cross default under cross-default provisions with respect to other of the Company's debt obligations, giving the lenders the ability to terminate the revolving commitments, accelerate outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, exercise certain remedies relating to the collateral securing the Credit Agreement and require the Company to post cash collateral for all outstanding letters of credit. In addition to the relief provided in the Amendment, the Company has reduced certain operating expenses beginning in 2020 and could use available cash, including repatriating cash held outside of the United States, to make debt repayments to lower its Consolidated Leverage Ratio.
The Company routinely increases its revolver borrowings under the Credit Agreement during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incurs more interest expense and has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end balances.
At March 28, 2020, the Company had $318.4 million of unused lines of credit, including $260.6 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $57.8 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.
Senior Notes
The Company has outstanding approximately $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2021. The Notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the “Guarantor and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. As security for its obligations under the guarantee of the Senior Notes, the Guarantor has granted a security interest in certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks. As security for its obligations under the guarantee of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor has granted a security interest in those certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks as well. The Indenture includes, among others, covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur indebtedness secured by liens on certain real property, (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, (iii) with respect to the Company only, consolidate or merge with another entity, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets and (iv) sell the capital stock of the Guarantor or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets or properties. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 for further details regarding the Senior Notes.

UnderWhether the Credit AgreementCompany will be able to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on economic, financial, competitive and consistentother factors that may be beyond its control, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and on the Company’s financial performance at the time. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19 may negatively impact the Company's ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with the Old Credit Agreement, the Guarantor unconditionally guarantees all obligations and liabilitiescertainty. Any refinancing of the Senior Notes may be at a higher interest rate and may require the Company to comply with additional covenants and obligations, which could further restrict the Subsidiary BorrowersCompany's business operations. If the Company is unable to repay or refinance the Senior Notes, the holders of the Seniors Notes may pursue certain remedies relating to the Credit Agreement, supported bycollateral securing the guaranty of the Senior Notes or pursue other remedies, in each case in accordance with the Indenture and the documents relating to such collateral, all of which could have 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 Moody's Investors Services, Inc. downgrades its existing ratings two notes or more or S&P Global Ratings downgrades its existing ratings one or more notches.
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 exposurematerial adverse effect on the value of its cash during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end cash and debt balances.
At September 28, 2019, the Company had $406.1 million of unused lines of credit, including $324.9 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $81.2 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.Company.
Note 12:11:Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of its international operations. Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company's local manufacturing in many markets, a strengthening U.S. dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response, the Company uses financial instruments to hedge certain of its exposures and to manage the foreign exchange impact to its financial statements. At its inception, a derivative financial instrument is designated as a fair value, cash flow or net equityinvestment 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, net. 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 $5.1$5.0 million and $4.3$3.7 million in the thirdfirst quarters of 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and $13.2 million and $15.1 million for the respective year-to-date periods.respectively.
The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from certain forecasted purchases and classifies these as cash flow hedges. The majority of cash flow hedge contracts that the Company enters into relate to inventory purchases. At initiation, the Company's cash flow hedge contracts are generally for periods ranging from one month to fifteen months. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings when settled through the same line item as the transaction being hedged. As such, the balance at the end of the current reporting period in other comprehensive income, related to cash flow hedges, will generally be reclassified within the next twelve months. The associated asset or liability on the open hedges is recorded in other current assets or accrued liabilities, as applicable. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company made an accounting policy change as of December 30, 2018the beginning of 2019 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. There was an immaterial impact from forward points recorded in other comprehensive income for activity related to the third quarterfirst quarters of 2020 and year-to-date periods of 2019. The Company recognized $1.0$0.8 million and $3.1$1.0 million of manufacturing 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 third quarterfirst quarters of 2020 and year-to-date periods of 2019.2019, respectively.

The Company also uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts and certain euroEuro denominated borrowings under its Credit Agreement, to hedge a portion of its net equity investment in international operations and classifies these as net equityinvestment hedges. Changes in the value of these financial instruments, excluding any ineffective portion of the hedges, are included in foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company recorded, net of tax, in other comprehensive income a net gain of $5.3$56.2 million and a net loss of $1.1$13.1 million associated with these hedges in the thirdfirst quarters of 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and net loss of $9.9 million and gain of $12.9 million for the respective year-to-date periods.respectively. Due to the permanent nature of the investments, the Company does not anticipate reclassifying any portion of these amounts to the income statement in the next twelve months. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company made an accounting policy change as of December 30, 2018the beginning of 2019 to include forward points in the assessment of effectiveness for net equityinvestment 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. The impact of forward points is being recorded in other comprehensive income and will remain there indefinitely since that is where the gains and losses on hedges of net equity are recorded. Based on the interest expense associated with forward points incurred for open net equityinvestment hedges as of December 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $3.8 million, net of taxes, to accumulated comprehensive income to reflect this accounting policy change. The impact related to forward points on hedges of net equity investment recorded as a component of other comprehensive income in the third quarterfirst quarters of 2020 and year-to-date periods2019 was a loss of 2019 were losses of $5.2$6.3 million and $14.1a gain of $4.3 million, respectively.
The net cash flow impact from hedging activity for the year-to-date periods ended September 28,first quarters of 2020 and 2019 and September 29, 2018 was an outflow of $1.5$1.9 million and an inflow of $3.5$0.8 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 SeptemberMarch 28, 20192020 and December 29, 2018,28, 2019, the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to purchase currencies were $132.6$90.8 million and $186.8$137.7 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to sell currencies were $134.4$82.5 million and $184.6$143.5 million, respectively. As of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the notional values of the largest positions outstanding were to purchase $112.3$69.8 million of U.S. dollars and $15.0$12.2 million of euros, and to sell $53.4$19.6 million of Swiss francs and $33.2$16.3 million of Mexican pesos.

The Company is largely dependent upon these independent sales organizations and individuals to reach end consumers, and any significant disruption of this distribution network would have a negative financial impact on the Company and its ability to generate sales, earnings and operating cash flows. The Company's primary business drivers are the size, activity, diversity and productivity of its independent sales organizations.
In 2019,2020, the Company continued to sell directly and/or through its sales force as well as to end consumers via the Internet and through business-to-business transactions, in which it sells products to a partner company. These business-to-business transactions are not considered part of the Company's core sales and are not material to overall sales.
As the impacts of foreign currency translation are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, the Company believes the presentation of results on a local currency basis, as a supplement to reported results, helps improve readers' ability to understand the Company's operating results and evaluate performance in comparison with prior periods. The Company presents local currency information that compares results between periods as if current period exchange rates had been used to translate results in the prior period. The Company uses results on a local currency basis as one measure to evaluate performance. The Company generally refers to such amounts as calculated on a "local currency" basis, or "excluding the impact of foreign currency." These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Results on a local currency basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
OverviewThe global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “pandemic,” has spread to many countries and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease, such as shelter-in-place orders, resulting in the temporary closure of schools and non-essential businesses, and these measures may remain in place for a significant period of time. During the first quarter of 2020, the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business was most pronounced in Europe and Asia Pacific where the Company experienced partial or country-wide lockdowns of operations in various markets, including China, France, Italy, and the Philippines. The first quarter impact of COVID-19 largely affected March revenues, financial results and liquidity, specifically in the second half of the month.  While the duration and severity of this pandemic is uncertain, the Company currently expects that its results of operations in the second quarter of 2020 will have the most significant impact of the effects of COVID-19, and that subsequent periods will also be negatively impacted. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding  the duration and further spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.  
A top priority for the Company as it navigates through the global COVID-19 pandemic is the safety of its employees and their families, sales force and consumers, and to mitigate the impact on its operations and financial results. The Company will continue to proactively respond to the situation and may take further actions that alter the Company’s business operations as may be required by governmental authorities, or that the Company determines are in the best interests of its employees, sales force and consumers.

The net decrease in local currency sales werewas mainly driven by decreases in:
Brazil, Chinafrom lower sales force activity and Mexico in light of unfavorable macro-economic trends
Europe,recruiting mainly due to increased competition and lower consumer spending
China, from less outlet openings, a net decreaseshift in product mix, and lower consumer spending. China had the earliest impact of COVID-19 beginning in January and extending throughout the quarter. China was able to partially mitigate the impact of this health crisis by leveraging e-commerce and social media capabilities and launching support programs to outlet owners.

The Company continues to provide digital tools and training to its sales force, where available, to enable them to connect with end consumers through social media and sell through the Internet.
A more detailed discussion of the sales results by reporting segment is included in the segment results section in this Part I, Item 2.
As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, the Company includes certain promotional costs in DS&A. As a result, the Company's net sales may not be comparable with other companies that treat these costs as a reduction of revenue.
Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 66.265.5 percent and 66.9 percent in the thirdfirst quarters of 2020 and 2019, and 2018. For the year-to-date periods, gross margin as a percentage of sales was 66.9 percent in 2019, compared with 67.0 percent for the same period of 2018.respectively. The factors leading to the 0.1 pp1.4pp decrease primarily reflected the impact of the shift from premium priced productsincreased negative manufacturing variances, mainly volume, related to mid-priced products due to consumer spending trends in China.Brazil, Mexico and United States and Canada, partially offset by lower resin costs.

As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, the Company includes costs related to the distribution of its products in DS&A. As a result, the Company's gross margin may not be comparable with other companies that include these costs in costs of products sold.
Costs andOperating Expenses
DS&A as a percentage of sales was 57.864.6 percent in the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, compared with 52.153.9 percent in 2018.2019. The 5.710.7 pp increase in comparison primarily reflected:
the impact from higherincreased administration and other expenses mainly due to fees for professional services firms supporting business turnaround efforts, leadership transition costs, net reduction of long-term management incentive costs last year versus expense in 2020 and lower absorption of fixed costs (7.4 pp)
increased selling expenses mainly from higher bad debt expense, primarily in Brazil and Fuller Mexico, andFrance, higher commissions in Brazil (3.8Indonesia reflecting the new compensation program and outlet support expenses in response to COVID-19 in China (3.6 pp)
an increase from administration and otherincreased distribution expenses mainly duefrom lower fixed costs absorption predominantly impacting Brazil, Europe and the United States and Canada (1.6 pp)
Partially offset by decreased promotional expenses mainly in Indonesia reflecting the new compensation program, France, Germany and Mexico (1.9 pp)
The Company segregates corporate operating expenses into allocated and unallocated components based upon the estimated time spent managing segment operations. The allocated costs are then apportioned on a local currency basis to timingeach segment based primarily upon segment revenues. The unallocated expenses reflect amounts unrelated to segment operations. Operating expenses to be allocated are determined at the beginning of lower expensethe year based upon estimated expenditures. Total unallocated expenses in the first quarter of 2020 increased $16.6 million compared with 2019, reflecting:
non-recurring fees for professional services firms supporting business turnaround efforts and leadership transition costs ( about $13.0 million)
management incentives which representedfrom a benefit in the third quarternet reduction of 2018, and lower absorption of fixed costs mainly related to IT expenses (2.2 pp)
For the year-to-date periods, DS&A as a percentage of sales increased 2.4 pp to 54.5 percent, from 52.1 percent in 2018, primarily reflecting increased selling costs, mainly in Brazil, from increased commissionlong-term incentives last year versus expense and Fuller Mexico, due to increased bad debt costs (1.3 pp).this year
Specific segment impacts are discussed in the segment results section in this Part I, Item 2.

Re-engineering Costs
Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, for a discussion of re-engineering activities and accruals.
The multi-year decline in revenue led the Company to evaluate its operating structure leading to actions designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiency and otherwise turnaround its business. These actions often result in re-engineering costs related to headcount reductions and to facility downsizing and closure, other costs that may be necessary in light of the revised operating landscape including structural changes impacting how its sales force operates, as well as related asset write downs. The Company may recognize gains or losses upon disposal of excess facilities or other activities directly related to its re-engineering efforts.
The Company recorded $7.5$3.9 million and $3.0$4.3 million in re-engineering charges during the thirdfirst quarters of 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and $15.9 million and $12.7 million for the respective year-to-date periods.respectively. These re-engineering costs were mainly related to the transformation program, which was announced in January 2019 and re-assessed in December 2019 (collectively the "Turnaround Plan") and the July 2017 revitalization program ("2017 program").
The turnaround plan was launched with the focus to drive innovation, sales force engagement and transformation program announcedconsumer experiences through a contemporized and streamlined service model. Since the inception of the turnaround plan, a reassessment of costs and priorities has occurred with a shift from a segment to a global focus with increased emphasis on procurement, sourcing and organizational realignment. This plan is expected to run through 2021 and incur approximately $50.0 million in January 2019.
pretax cost, with 100 percent paid in cash. The Company incurred $1.1 million and $3.0 million of charges in the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $3.3 million and $12.7$1.2 million in the first quarters of charges under the 2017 program for the2020 and 2019, and 2018 year-to-date periods, respectively, primarily related to severance costs, outside consulting services, project team expenses, and distributor support. Once fully executed, the plan is expected to enable annual local currency sales growth and to generate about $100.0 million in annualized savings.

In relation to the 2017 program, the Company incurred for headcount reductions$0.6 million and $3.1 million of charges in severalthe first quarters of the Company’s operations in connection with changes in its management2020 and organizational structures.2019, respectively. Under this program, the Company has incurred $83.0$84.7 million of pretax costs starting in the second quarter of 2017 through the thirdfirst quarter of 2019. The Company2020 and expects to incur an additional $4.7$2.0 million of pretax re-engineering costs starting in the fourth quarterremaining of 2019 through 2020. The annualized benefit of these actions once fully implemented, is estimated to be $35 million with $32 million already realized in 2017 and 2018 combined.has been approximately $36.0 million. After reinvestment of a portion of the benefits, improved profitability is reflected most significantly through lower cost of products sold, but also through lower DS&A; however, overall profitability has not risen in light of lower sales and higher costs.
The 2019 program was launched with the focus to drive innovation, sales force engagement and consumer experiences through a contemporized and streamlined service model. This program runs through 2022 and is expected to incur approximately $100 million in pretax cost, with 90 percent paid in cash. The Company incurred $4.6 million and $10.0 million in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2019, respectively, in Europe and Asia Pacific, primarily related to outside consulting services, project team expenses, and distributor support. Savings from the 2019 program will occur as the program is implemented over the three-year period, and once fully executed, is expected to enable annual local currency sales growth and to generate about $50 million in annualized savings.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company's goodwill and intangible assets relate primarily to the December 2005 acquisition of the direct-to-consumer businesses of Sara Lee Corporation. In the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, the Company completed the annual assessments for all of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets, concluding $19.7 million of impairment existed as of the third quarter 2019, mainly for the impairment of the Fuller Mexico goodwill of $17.5 million. The Nutrimetics tradename was also impaired by $2.2 million due to declining sales trends, leaving a $3.5 million carrying value as of September 28, 2019. There were no impairments in 2018.
In the second quarter of 2017, the Company performed an interim impairment test over the Fuller Mexico reporting unit as of the end of May 2017 and recorded an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value from the evaluation. With the estimated fair value of the reporting unit equaling its carrying value, the Fuller Mexico reporting unit had a high risk of future impairment to the remaining goodwill balance. The estimated fair value from the 2017 assessment was dependent upon the Company's ability to overcome a trend of negative sales, profit and cash flow that began in 2011, in order to see positive revenue growth starting in 2019 with continued four percent growth in years thereafter. In the second half of 2017 and in 2018, the reporting unit was successful in meeting projections from the 2017 assessment due to improved sales with better margins and lower promotional spending. This resulted in a reduction to negative revenue trends from the projected 10.0 percent to 8.7 percent in 2017 and 7.1 percent to 0.8 percent in 2018. During the first and second quarters of 2019, the reporting unit began to see declines in sales and profit due to difficult economic and geopolitical trends, but was still projected to meet expectations from the May 2017 assessment. In the third quarter of 2019, the impact from those unfavorable economic and geopolitical trends accelerated, leading to lower sales, an increase in bad debt expense and increased inventory obsolescence which caused the reporting unit’s profitability and cash flows to fall short of previous expectations for the current year. Given the on-going economic environment and social policies enacted by the current Mexican government, the Company expects these trends to continue into future periods.

The impairment evaluation of the Fuller Mexico reporting unit included a fair value analysis, for which the significant assumptions included annual revenue growth rates ranging from negative eight percent to positive four percent, with revenue stabilization starting in 2022 and positive revenue growth starting in 2023, a compound average growth rate of 0.2 percent, and a 2.5 percent growth rate used in calculating the terminal value. The discount rate used for Fuller Mexico was 14.9 percent, which was approximately one percentage point lower than at the time of the assessment performed in the second quarter of 2017 based on changes to interest rates and other macro-economic factors in Mexico since that time. Based on the fair value calculation performed as of the third quarter 2019, the remaining balance of goodwill for Fuller Mexico was written off due to the calculated fair value being less than carrying value for the reporting unit by more than the recorded goodwill.
The fair value of all of the Company's remaining reporting units and tradename intangibles exceeds their respective carrying values based on the current estimates and assumptions regarding sales performance and profitability. Given the sensitivity of valuations to changes in cash flow or market multiples, the Company may be required to recognize an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets in the future due to changes in market conditions or other factors related to the Company’s performance. Actual results below forecasted results or a decrease in the forecasted future results of the Company’s business plans or changes in interest rates could also result in an impairment charge, as could changes in market characteristics including additional declines in valuation multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. Further impairment charges would have an adverse impact on the Company’s net income.
Gains on Disposal of Assets
In 2019, the Company received proceeds from the sale of long-term assets of $20.4 million with a net gain of $11.1 million, primarily reflecting third quarter transactions associated with land near the Company's Orlando, Florida headquarters and the sale of the French marketing office. In 2018, the Company recorded $16.1 million of net gains from $36.5 million of proceeds received related to the sale of long-term assets primarily during the first half of the year. The Company sold the Beauticontrol headquarters in Texas in the first quarter of 2018 and the distribution facility in Japan and land near the Company's Orlando, Florida headquarters during the second quarter of the year.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $9.8$9.7 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2019, a decrease2020, an increase of $0.9$0.1 million compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2018. In the year-to-date periods, net interest expense was $29.8 million in 2019, compared with $32.3 million in 2018.2019. The decreaseincrease in interest expense related to the $1.2 million and $3.9 million reclassification from the accounting policy change for forward points from the Company's hedging activities for the third quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, partially offset by the impact of higher interest on borrowings in the third quarter and year-to-date comparisons.borrowings.
Tax RateIncome Taxes
The effective tax rates for the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2019 were 44.2 percent and 33.9 percent, respectively, compared with 31.6 percent and 32.1 percent for the comparable 2018 periods. The tax rate for the secondfirst quarter of 20192020 was 36.2 percent.5.4 percent compared with 28.9 percent for 2019. The increasedecrease in the rate from the second quarterwas primarily attributable to the thirdoverall decline in profitability for the quarter of 2019, was the result of a 2018 tax return to provision true-up relatedended March 28, 2020 as compared to the Tax Actsame period last year and the impairment charges primarily related to Fuller Mexico's goodwill.lower cash tax costs driven by lower profits.
As discussed in Note 1514 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, the Company's uncertain tax positions increase the potential for volatility in its tax rate. As such, it is reasonably possible that the effective tax rates in any individual quarter will vary from the full year expectation. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate what impact that may have on any individual quarter.
Net Income
Net income decreased $31.3$44.7 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 compared with 2018,2019, which included a $1.7$4.7 million negative impact on the comparison from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The net decrease primarily reflected:
lowerdecreased segment profit in Asia Pacific, primarily in China
reduceddecreased segment profit for North America, primarily at Fuller Mexico and in the United States and Canada

decreased segment profit in Europe, primarily from lower business-to-business sales
increased unallocated expenses related to fees for professional services firms supporting business turnaround efforts, leadership transition costs and a net reduction of long-term management incentive costs last year versus expense in 2020
decreased segment profit, in South America, primarilyestimated at 25% of the total decline versus the first quarter of 2019, from Brazil
a decrease due to impairment charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets, mainly related to Fuller Mexicothe impact of COVID-19.
These decreases were partially offset by higher gains on the disposal of assets related to the sale of the French marketing office building and land sales near the Company's Orlando, Florida headquarters.
For the year-to-date period, netlower income decreased $54.5 million, compared with 2018, including a negative $11.1 million translation impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The factors impacting the comparison were largely the same as for the quarter though there was a higher impact from the reclassification due to the change in hedge accounting and a lower gain on disposal of assets on the year-to-date comparison.taxes.
A more detailed discussion of the results by reporting segment is included in the segment results section below in this Part I, Item 2.
International operations generated 93.092.2 percent of sales in the first quarter of 2020, and 92.7 percent of sales in the thirdfirst quarter and year-to-date periods of 2019, respectively, and 92.3 percent and 92.1 percent of sales in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2018, respectively.2019. These units generated 99.5 percent and 98.1104.6 percent of net segment profit in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020, and year-to-date periods of 2019, respectively, and 98.1 percent and 97.097.7 percent of net segment profit in the thirdfirst quarter and year-to-date periods of 2018, respectively.2019.
The sale of beauty products generated 14.5 percent and 13.814.3 percent of sales in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020, and year-to-date periods of 2019, respectively, and 13.713.6 percent in the thirdfirst quarter and year-to-date periods of 2018.2019.

Segment Results
The Company did see an impact to sales and profit results by reporting segment in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Also, the Company expects that its results of operations in the second quarter of 2020 will reflect the most severe impact of the effects of COVID-19, and subsequent periods may also be negatively impacted. The Company continues to monitor the effects of COVID-19 on its reported sales and profit and has taken several steps to mobilize its resources to ensure adequate liquidity, business continuity and employee safety during this pandemic.

China, from a reduction in outlet openings, andlower productivity from a shift in mix to mid-priced products from premium priced products due to lower consumer spending trends and outlet activities disruption from COVID-19. China was able to partially mitigate the impact of this health crisis by leveraging e-commerce and social media capabilities and launching support programs to outlet owners.
Indonesia and the Philippines, mainly from a smaller, less active sales force and the Philippines, from mandated lock down due to COVID-19
Malaysia and& Singapore, due to a less active and less productive sales force in addition to lower consumer spending
Partial or country-wide lockdowns due to COVID-19 negatively impacted all business units in this segment.

On March 29, 2019,20, 2020 Moody’s downgraded the Company’s credit rating from Ba3 to B3. On April 6, 2020, S&P downgraded the Company’s credit rating from B to CCC+. Although each downgrade exceeded the threshold for additional guarantee and collateral requirements to be triggered under the Credit Agreement, at the time of the downgrade the Company had already amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) on February 28, 2020. Among other things, the Amendment eliminated the requirement that a Non-Investment Grade Ratings Event, as defined in the Credit Agreement, must occur before the Company is required to cause the Additional Guarantee and restatedCollateral Requirement, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to be satisfied. As a result, the Company is required to cause certain of its multicurrencydomestic subsidiaries to become guarantors and the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries are required to pledge additional collateral. The Amendment also modified the financial covenant. Previously, the Company had to maintain at specified measurement periods a Consolidated Leverage Ratio that was not greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement. Agreement was amended to prevent the Company from exceeding the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four fiscal quarters ending in March 2020. If the Company had exceeded the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, this could have constituted an Event of Default, potentially resulting in a cross default under cross-default provisions with respect to other of the Company's debt obligations, giving the lenders the ability to terminate the revolving commitments, accelerate outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, exercise certain remedies relating to the collateral securing the Credit Agreement, and require the Company to post cash collateral for all outstanding letters of credit. In addition to the relief provided in the Amendment, the Company has reduced certain operating expenses beginning in 2020 and could use available cash, including repatriating cash held outside of the United States, to make debt repayments to lower its Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Following the Amendment, the Company is required to maintain at the last day of each quarterly measurement period a Consolidated Leverage Ratio not greater than or equal to the ratio as set forth below opposite the period that includes such day (or, if such day does not end on the last day of the calendar quarter, that includes the last day of the calendar quarter that is nearest to such day):

As of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the Company had total borrowings of $323.7$388.1 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, with $173.7$245.1 million of that amount denominated in euros.Euro. As of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the Credit Agreement dictatedCompany had a weighted average interest rate of 2.0 percent with a base rate spread of 150 basis points which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate of 2.5 percent on LIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement. As of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, and currently, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement.

At SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the Company had $406.1$318.4 million of unused lines of credit, including $324.9$260.6 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $81.2$57.8 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world. If necessary, withWith the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase its borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement by a total of up to $200$200.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850.0 million) subject to certain conditions.
The Company has outstanding approximately $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2021. The Notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, its 100 percent subsidiary, the Guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. As security for its obligations under the guarantee of the Senior Notes, the Guarantor has granted a security interest in certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks. As security for its obligations under the guarantee of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor has granted a security interest in those certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks as well. The Indenture includes, among others, covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur indebtedness secured by liens on certain real property, (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, (iii) with respect to the Company only, consolidate or merge with another entity, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets and (iv) sell the capital stock of the Guarantor or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets or properties. See Note 118 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 filed with the SEC (the “2019 Form 10-K”) for further details regarding the Senior Notes.
Whether the Company will be able to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond its control, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and on the Company’s financial performance at the time. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19 may negatively impact the Company's ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty. Any refinancing of the Senior Notes may be at a higher interest rate and may require the Company to comply with additional covenants and obligations, which could further restrict the Company's business operations. If the Company is unable to repay or refinance the Senior Notes, the holders of the Seniors Notes may pursue certain remedies relating to the collateral securing the guaranty of the Senior Notes or pursue other remedies, in each case in accordance with the Indenture and the documents relating to such collateral, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Given the fast-moving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting uncertainty on financial markets and the economy as a whole, the Company’s capital position and availability of capital to fund the Company’s liquidity requirements, including repayment or refinancing of the Senior Notes, could be adversely impacted. The Company is taking proactive measures to maximize liquidity and increase available cash by reducing costs and spending across the organization.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for further details regarding the Company's debt.
The Company monitors the third-party depository institutions that hold its cash and cash equivalents with an emphasis primarily on safety and liquidity of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. The Company diversifies its cash and cash equivalents among counterparties, which minimizes exposure to any one of these entities. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to financial market risk resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates, and the possible liquidity and credit risks of its counterparties. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to fund its working capital, capital spending needs and current and anticipated restructuring actions. This liquidity includes to the extent that it is accessible, its cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $122.1$174.5 million as of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, cash flows from operating activities, and access to its Credit Agreement, as well as access to other various uncommitted lines of credit around the world. The Company has not experienced any limitations on its ability to access its committed facility.

Cash and cash equivalents (“cash”) totaled $122.1$174.5 million as of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019.2020. Of this amount, $119.9$170.1 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. Of the cash held outside of the United States, approximately nineless than 1 percent was not eligibledeemed ineligible for repatriation due torepatriation. Other than deferred tax liability of $8.8 million for the levelwithholding tax liability for future distribution of past statutoryunrepatriated foreign earnings, by the foreign units in which the cash was heldno U.S. federal income taxes or other local restrictions.foreign taxes have been recorded related to permanently reinvested earnings.
The Company’s most significant foreign currency exposures include:
Brazilian real
Chinese renminbi
Indonesian rupiah
Malaysian ringgit
Mexican peso
South African rand
Business units in which the Company generated at least $100 million of sales in 20182019 included:
Brazil
China
Fuller Mexico
Germany
Indonesia
Tupperware Mexico
the United States and Canada
Of these units, sales by Brazil, China and the United States and Canada exceeded $200 million. A significant downturn in the Company’s business in these units would adversely impact its ability to generate operating cash flows. Operating cash flows would also be adversely impacted by significant difficulties in the addition,additions, retention and activity of the Company’s independent sales force or the success of new products, promotional programs and/or possibly changes in sales force compensation programs.
The Company has taken, and plans to continue to take, certain measures, to enhance its liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility, including in response to the impact of COVID-19, including reductions in discretionary spending, revisiting investment strategies, the potential sale of land, and reducing payroll costs, including through organizational redesign, employee furloughs and permanent reductions in employee headcount. As of March 28, 2020, the Company is in compliance with its financial covenants under its Credit Agreement. The Company currently forecasts that it will be in compliance with its financial covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these interim financial statements, after taking into consideration the measures noted above. If the impact of COVID-19 is more severe than currently forecasted this may impact the Company’s compliance with its financial covenantswhich could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Additionally, during the beginning of the second quarter of 2020, on March 30, 2020, the Company drew $225.0 million of revolving loans under its Credit Agreement, $175.0 million of which was drawn as a proactive measure given the uncertain environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide the Company with further financial flexibility. See Part II, Item 1A under “The Outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic” for more information regarding COVID-19 and how it could affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

New Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2019 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for a discussion of new pronouncements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
One of the Company's market risks is its exposure to the impact ofThe Company may be impacted by interest rate changes on its borrowings. The Company accesses the short-term and long-term markets to obtain financing. Access to, and the availability of acceptable terms and conditions of, such financing are impacted by many factors, including: the credit ratings; liquidity and volatility of the overall capital markets; and the current state of the economy. The Company has elected to manage this risk through the maturity structure of its borrowings and the currencies in which it borrows.
Interest Rate Risk
Loans taken under the Credit Agreement are of a short duration and bear interest under a formula that includes, aat the Company's option, one of four different base rate selected dependent upon currency borrowed,rates, plus an applicable spread. The Company generally selects LIBOR as theits base rate. As of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the Credit Agreement dictatedCompany had a weighted average interest rate of 2.0 percent with a base rate spread of 150 basis points which gaveon its U.S. dollar and euro denominated LIBOR/EURIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced that it would phase-out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021, or if alternative rates or benchmarks will be adopted. Changes in the method of calculating LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative rate or benchmark, may adversely affect interest rates. The Company cannot predict the effect of the potential changes to LIBOR or the establishment of alternative rates or benchmarks. The Credit Agreement allows for the use of select alternative rates and benchmarks and based on the assessment of such rates and benchmarks, the Company does not expect a weighted average interest ratematerial impact from the phase-out of 2.5 percent on LIBOR-based borrowings.LIBOR.
As of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the Company had total borrowings of $323.7$388.1 million outstanding under theits Credit Agreement, with $173.7$245.1 million denominated in euro.Euro. If short-term interest rates varied by ten10 percent, which in the Company's case would mean short duration U.S. dollar and euro LIBOR, with all other variables remaining constant, the Company's annual interest expense would not be significantly impacted. Additionally, any change from the use of LIBOR to an alternative acceptable rate under the Credit Agreement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's annual interest expense.
The Company had routinely increasedincreases its revolver borrowings under the Old Credit Agreement during 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 pastactivities and expects to in the future, useuses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company has higherincurs more interest expense and has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end cash and debt balances.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
A significant portion of the Company's sales and profit comescome from its international operations. Although these operations are geographically dispersed, which partially mitigates the risks associated with operating in particular countries, the Company is subject to the usual risks associated with international operations. These risks include local political and economic environments and relations between foreign and U.S. governments.
Another economic risk of the Company is exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of its international operations. The Company is not able to project, in any meaningful way, the effect of these possible fluctuations on translated amounts or future earnings. This is due to the Company's constantly changing exposure to various currencies, the fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the U.S. dollar and the large number of currencies involved, although the Company's most significant income and cash flow exposures are to the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican peso and South African rand.

Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company's local product sourcing in many countries, a strengthening U.S. dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge its exposure to certain foreign exchange risks associated with a portion of its investment in international operations. In addition to hedging against the balance sheet impact of changes in exchange rates, the hedge of investments in international operations also has the effect of hedging cash flow generated by those operations. The Company also hedges, with these instruments, certain other exposures to various currencies arising from amounts payable and receivable, non-permanent intercompany transactions and a portion of purchases forecasted for generally up to the following 15 months. The Company does not seek to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations on the translated value of the sales, profit or cash flow generated by its operations.
While the Company's derivatives that hedge a portion of its equity in its foreign subsidiaries and its fair value hedges of balance sheet risks all work together to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled. For the year-to-date periods ended September 28,first quarters of 2020 and 2019, and September 29, 2018, the cash flow impact of these currency hedges was an outflow of $1.5$1.9 million and an inflow of $3.5$0.8 million, respectively.

The U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company's most significant net open forward contracts as of SeptemberMarch 28, 20192020 were to buy $112.3$69.8 million of U.S. dollars, $15.0$12.2 million of euros and to sell $53.4$19.6 million of Swiss francs and $33.2$16.3 million of Mexican pesos. In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars, for example, an appreciating dollar versus the opposing currency would generate a cash inflow for the Company at settlement, with the opposite result in agreements to buy foreign currencies for U.S. dollars. The notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company's outstanding currency exposures. Based on rates existing as of SeptemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the Company was in a net payablereceivable position of approximately $0.8$9.0 million related to its currency hedges under forward contracts. Currency fluctuations could have a significant impact on the Company's cash flow upon the settlement of its forward contracts.
A precise calculation of the impact of currency fluctuations is not practical since some of the contracts are between non-U.S. dollar currencies. The Company continuously monitors its foreign currency exposure and expects to enter into additional contracts to hedge exposure in the future. See further discussion regarding the Company's hedging activities for foreign currency in Note 1211 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company is subject to credit risks relating to the ability of counterparties of hedging transactions to meet their contractual payment obligations. The risks related to creditworthiness and non-performance have been considered in the determination of fair value for the Company's foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company continues to closely monitor its counterparties and will take action, as appropriate and possible, to further manage its counterparty credit risk.


Commodity Price Risk
The Company is also exposed to rising material prices in its manufacturing operations and, in particular, the cost of oil and natural gas-based resins, including the fact that in some cases resin prices are actually in, or are based on, currencies other than that of the unit buying the resin, which introduces a currency exposure that is incremental to the exposure to changing market prices. Resins are the primary material used in production of most Tupperware® products, and the Company estimates that 20192020 cost of sales will include approximately $106$80.0 million for the cost of resin in the Tupperware® brand products it produces and has contract manufactured. The Company uses many different kinds of resins in its products. About three-fourths of the value of its resin purchases are “polyolefins” (simple chemical structure, easily refined from oil and natural gas). The remaining one-fourth of the value of its resin purchases is more highly engineered. With a comparable product mix and exchange rates, a ten10 percent fluctuation in the cost of resin would impact the Company's annual cost of sales by approximately $11$8.0 million compared with the prior year. The amount the Company pays for its resins is impacted by the relative changes in supply and demand. The Company partially manages its risk associated with rising resin costs by utilizing a centralized procurement function that is able to take advantage of bulk discounts while maintaining multiple suppliers, and also enters into short-term pricing arrangements. It also manages its margin through cash flow hedges in some cases when it purchases resin in currencies, or effectively in currencies, other than that of the purchasing unit,unit. This is done through the pricing of its products, with price increases over time on its product offerings generally in line with consumer inflation in each market, and its mix of sales through its promotional programs and promotionally priced offers. It also, on occasion, makes advance material purchases to take advantage of current favorable pricing.

Real Estate Risk
The Company has a program to sell land held for development around its Orlando, Florida headquarters. This program is exposed to the risks inherent in the real estate development process. Included among these risks is the ability to obtain all necessary government approvals, the success of attracting tenants for commercial or residential developments in the Orlando real estate market, obtaining financing and general economic conditions, such as interest rate increases. Based on the variety of factors that impact the Company's ability to close sales transactions, it cannot predict when the program will be completed.

Investors should also be aware that while the Company does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company's policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, it should not be assumed that the Company agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by others.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the companyCompany will be detected.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's thirdfirst quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
A number of ordinary-course legal and administrative proceedings against the Registrant or its subsidiaries are pending. In addition to such proceedings, there are certain proceedings that involve the discharge of materials into, or otherwise relating to the protection of, the environment. Certain of such proceedings involve federal environmental laws such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as well as state and local laws. The Registrant has established reserves with respect to certain of such proceedings. Because of the involvement of other parties and the uncertainty of potential environmental impacts, the eventual outcomes of such actions and the cost and timing of expenditures cannot be determined with certainty. It is not expected that the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the Registrant.
As part of the 1986 reorganization involving the formation of Premark, Premark was spun-off by Dart & Kraft, Inc., and Kraft Foods, Inc. assumed any liabilities arising out of any legal proceedings in connection with certain divested or discontinued former businesses of Dart Industries Inc., a subsidiary of the Registrant, including matters alleging product and environmental liability. The assumption of liabilities by Kraft Foods, Inc. (now Mondelez International, Inc.) remains effective subsequent to the distribution of the equity of the Registrant to Premark shareholders in 1996.
In February, March and April 2020, three putative stockholder class actions and one shareholder derivative action were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors. One putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the other three actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The putative stockholder class action complaints allege that statements in public filings between January 30, 2019 and February 24, 2020 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s disclosure of controls and procedures and financial guidance, as well as the need for an amendment of its credit facility, violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s shares during the potential class period and demand unspecified monetary damages. The shareholder derivative action complaint alleges that certain officers and directors breached fiduciary duties to the Company, were unjustly enriched, and violated Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934, on generally the same fact pattern. The Company believes the complaints and allegations to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the actions. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.
Reference is made to “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 20182019 Form 10-K for information concerning risk factors. The Company is adding the following risk factors as set forth below.
The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with, and supplement, the risk factors set forth in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the 20182019 Form 10-K. Before making an investment in the Company’s securities, investors should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below, together with the other information in this Report, including the sectionsections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the other reports and materials filed by the Company with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known by the Company or that are currently deemed immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.
Operational Risk
Operational risk generally refersThe Outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “pandemic,” has spread to many countries and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease, such as shelter-in-place orders, resulting in the temporary closure of schools and non-essential businesses, and these measures may remain in place for a significant period of time. The Company has experienced and may continue to experience disruptions that prevent it from meeting the demands of its sales force and customers, including disruptions to the riskmanufacturing of loss resulting from the Company’s operations, including those operations performed for the Company by third parties. This would include but is not limitedits products and its supply chain, disruptions to the risk of fraud by employeesits distribution network, disruptions in or persons outside the Company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees or others, errors relating to transaction processing, breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements, and unplanned interruptions in service. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal or regulatory actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency, or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards. The Company must comply with a number of legal and regulatory requirements, including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended.
The Company operates in many markets and reliesrestrictions on the ability of its employees, contractors, sales force and other business partners to work effectively and disruptions to the shipment of its products. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19 may negatively impact the Company's ability to repay or refinance the $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) due on June 1, 2021, which were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) between the Company and its 100 percent subsidiary, Dart Industries Inc. (the “Guarantor”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty. The impact of COVID-19 and measures implemented to slow the spread could also cause delay in, or limit the ability of, the Company’s sales force to make timely payments to the Company. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and financial markets of many countries. During the COVID-19 pandemic and even after it has subsided, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to the Company’s business as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact, including any recession, economic downturn, government spending cuts, tightening of credit markets or increased unemployment that has occurred or may occur in the future, which could cause its ultimate customers and potential customers to postpone or reduce spending on its products or put downward pressure on prices. The Company's top priority is to protect its employees and their families, the sales force and consumers, and its operations from any adverse impacts. The Company is taking precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and the local government.
Individually and collectively, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, such as those relating to the Company’s level of indebtedness, its ability to comply with the financial covenants contained in the agreements that govern the Company’s indebtedness and volatility of the Company’s common stock price.

Technology and Cyber-Security
The Company relies extensively on information technology systems to conduct its business, some of which are managed by third-party service providers. These systems include, but are not limited to, programs and processes relating to internal communications and communications with other parties, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, converting materials to finished products, receiving orders and shipping product to customers, billing customers and receiving and applying payments, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, complying with regulatory, legal or tax requirements, collecting and storing certain customer, employee, investor, and other stakeholder information and personal data, and other processes necessary to manage the Company’s business. Current and increased information technology security threats, and current and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose a potential risk to the security of the information technology systems, networks, and services of the Company, its customers and other business partners, as well as the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data of the Company, its customers and other business partners. As a result, the Company’s information technology systems, networks or service providers could be damaged or cease to function properly process a high number of transactions. In the event of a breakdown in internal control systems, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, the Company could suffer financiala loss face regulatory actionor disclosure of business, personal or stakeholder information, due to any number of causes, including catastrophic events, power outages and security breaches. Although the Company has business continuity plans in place, if these plans do not provide effective alternative processes on a timely basis, the Company may suffer damageinterruptions in its ability to manage or conduct its reputation. In orderoperations, which may adversely affect its business. The Company may need to expend additional resources in the future to continue to protect against, or to address this risk, managementproblems caused by, any business interruptions or data security breaches. Any business interruptions or data security breaches, including cyber-security breaches resulting in private data disclosure, could result in lawsuits or regulatory proceedings, damage the Company’s reputation or adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. While the Company maintains insurance coverage that could cover some of these types of issues, the coverage has limitations and includes deductibles such that it may not be adequate to offset losses incurred.
The Company could also be adversely affected by system or network disruptions if new or upgraded information technology systems or software are defective, not installed properly or not properly integrated into its operations. Various measures have been implemented to manage the risks related to the implementation and modification of hardware and software, but any significant disruption or deficiency in the design and implementation of new or upgraded information technology systems or software could have a systemmaterial adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations and could, if not successfully implemented, adversely impact the effectiveness of internal controls with the objective of providing proper transaction authorization and execution, safeguarding of assets from misuse or theft, and ensuring the reliability ofover financial and other data.
reporting. The Company maintainsis continuing to upgrade its systems of internal controls that provide management with timely and accurate information about the Company’s operations. These systems have been designed to manage operational risk at appropriate levels given the Company’s financial strength, the environment in which it operates, and considering factors such as competition and regulation. The Company has also established procedures that are designed to ensure that policies relating to conduct, ethics, and business practices are followed on a uniformworldwide basis. While there can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer losses in the future due to operational errors that the Company discovers, management continually monitors and works to improve its internal controls, systems, and corporate-wide processes and procedures.
Financial Covenants
The Company must meet certain financial covenants as defined in the applicable agreements to borrow under its credit facilities. In the event the Company fails to comply with any of the covenants or to meet its payment obligations, it could lead to an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of other outstanding debt obligations. The Company may not have sufficient working capital or liquidity to satisfy its debt obligations in the event of an acceleration of all or a portion of its outstanding obligations. If the Company’s cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, it may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance its indebtedness. The Company’s ability to restructure or refinance its debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and the Company’s financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of the Company’s debt could be at higher interest rates and may require the Company to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict the Company from adopting some of these alternatives.
