NOTES TO CONDENSED 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 the “Company” or “Tupperware”, with all intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. The Company prepared the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the Company's opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items that are necessary for a fair statement of ~~results.~~results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. As such, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited ~~2020~~2021 Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form ~~10-K/A~~10-K for the year ended December ~~26, 2020.~~25, 2021. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

Out-of-Period Misstatements

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment to income tax expense which resulted in a $1.3 million decrease in income from continuing operations. This error resulted from intercompany costs which were allocated to an incorrect legal entity resulting in a net understatement of income tax expense for the entities. The Company has recorded an aggregate net $2.6 million decrease in income from continuing operations in the year-to-date period ended September 24, 2022, composed of the above-referenced adjustment and three other adjustments identified in the second quarter of 2022. Management has determined that these errors were not material to any of its previously issued financial statements individually or in the aggregate.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations include certain key brands of the Company’s beauty business, including ~~Avory Shlain,~~ House of Fuller, Nutrimetics, Nuvo, and ~~Nuvo. The Company completed the sale of~~Avroy Shlain. Avroy Shlain was sold in the first quarter of 2021, House of Fuller Mexico was sold in the second quarter of 2022, and, as noted in Note 13: Held for Sale Assets and Discontinued Operations, Nutrimetics was sold on July 1, 2022. The Company is currently in discussions with a potential buyer for Nuvo with the intention of having a deal signed and completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.

In the third quarter of 2021, ~~has executed 2 letters of intent for House of Fuller and Nutrimetics. The~~the Company ~~is actively exploring strategic alternatives for Nuvo. The Company expects to complete the dispositions of House of Fuller, Nutrimetrics, and Nuvo in the next twelve months.~~

~~The Company has~~ determined that these dispositions ~~represent~~represented a strategic shift that ~~will~~would have a major effect on ~~our~~its results of operations. As such, ~~reflected below are~~ the results of the beauty ~~businesses~~business are reflected as discontinued operations including all comparative prior period information in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain costs previously allocated to the beauty business for segment reporting purposes do not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations. See Note ~~13,~~13: Held for Sale Assets and Discontinued Operations, for additional information.

~~Goodwill and Intangible Assets~~

The Company conducts goodwill impairment testing in the third quarter of each year or whenever indicators of impairment exists. If an indicator of impairment exists, the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit, generally based on discounted future cash flows, with its carrying amount including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. In the current period, the Company performed qualitative assessments for reporting units where no impairment indicators existed and a quantitative assessment for a reporting unit with declining performance. The Company concluded that there was no impairment based upon the assessments performed.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Economic Uncertainties

For the third quarter ended September ~~25, 2021,~~24, 2022, the ~~impact on~~Company's business ~~activity brought about~~activities continued to be impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) ~~remains present. As~~, most notably in China, where lockdowns persist. In addition, the Company's business activities, particularly in Europe, continued to experience volatility and were impacted by lower consumer sentiment and increased cost of energy. Inflation has increased globally resulting in less disposable income for consumers and lower consumer sentiment. The U.S. dollar has strengthened against the Euro, Japanese Yen, and other currencies. This continues to be a headwind for the Company as its foreign denominated revenues are translated into USD at lower exchange rates negatively impacting results.As a result, many of the Company's estimates and assumptions require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company's estimates may change materially in future periods.

~~COVID-19~~

Table of contents

Since early 2020, the Company has followed guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") and the World Health Organization ("WHO") on actions required by individuals and businesses following the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since 2020 the pandemic has impacted worldwide economic activity and many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease. These policies, such as shelter-in-place orders, remained in place for a significant period of time, resulting in the temporary closure of schools and non-essential businesses. The Company has continued to respond by taking actions to keep employees protected, support the Company’s global independent distributors, directors, managers and dealers (the "Sales Force") and communities, and maintain business continuity.Equity

~~A top priority for~~On February 28, 2022, the Company ~~as it continues to navigate~~entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), under which the ~~impacts~~Company paid $75.0 million and received an initial share delivery of 3,438,264 shares of the ~~global COVID-19 pandemic is the safety~~Company's outstanding common stock, which were immediately retired.

The Company will continue to proactively respond~~February 25, 2022 of $16.36. On May 27, 2022, pursuant to the ~~situation~~terms of the ASR agreement, Wells Fargo elected to accelerate the settlement date of the ASR 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~~received the ~~best interests~~remaining settlement of ~~its employees, Sales Force and consumers. In order to ensure continued safety and protect~~1,438,325 shares, which were immediately retired. The number of shares received was calculated by taking the ~~health~~initial $75.0 million divided by the price of the employees, and to comply with applicable government directives, the Company has modified its business practices to allow its employees to work remotely, incorporate virtual meetings and restrict all non-essential employee travel until further notice. While global vaccination efforts are underway, the continued impact of COVID-19, including any increases in infection rates, new variantsvariable weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the ~~virus, and renewed governmental action to slow~~Company's share price during the ~~spread~~duration of ~~COVID-19, cannot be estimated.~~the ASR of $15.38, less the number of shares received at the beginning of the ASR.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Recently ~~Adopted~~

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans”, an amendment to existing guidance on disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans. Under the amendment, the entity is required to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates used, reasons for significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation and an explanation of any other significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets. The amendment also removed certain required disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this guidance at the beginning of the first quarter of 2021 and the adoption did not have any material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~Standards Not Yet~~ Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), an optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the transition from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) to an alternative reference rate. The ASU intends to address certain concerns relating to accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting. These optional expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP, assuming certain criteria are met, are allowed through December 31, 2022. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. In addition, the FASB also issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” (“ASU 2021-01”) to refine the scope of ASC 848, “Reference Rate Reform” (“ASC 848”) and ASU 2020-04 in response to Reference Rate Reform in January 2021. ASU 2021-01 adds guidance to clarify which optional expedients in ASC 848 may be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR or a reference rate that will be discontinued, but are modified as a result of the discontinuing transition. This guidance was effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. The Company ~~continues to evaluate~~adopted this guidance during the ~~impact~~third quarter of 2022 and the ~~potential~~ adoption ~~of this amendment~~did not have any material impact on its ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2: ~~Shipping and Handling~~Distribution Costs

The cost of products sold line item includes costs related to the purchase and ~~manufacture~~manufacturing of goods sold by the Company. Among these costs are inbound freight charges, duties, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, depreciation expense, internal transfer costs and warehousing costs of raw ~~material,~~materials, work in process and packing materials. The warehousing and distribution costs of finished goods are included in the selling, general and administrative ~~expense.~~expense line item.

Note 3: Promotional Costs

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

Programs are generally designed to recognize ~~Sales Force~~sales force members for achieving a primary objective. An example is holding a certain number of product demonstrations. In this situation, the Company offers a prize to ~~Sales Force~~sales force members ~~that~~who achieve the targeted number of product demonstrations over a specified period. The period runs from ~~a couple of~~ weeks to several months. The prizes are generally graded, in that meeting one level may result in receiving a piece of jewelry, with higher achievement resulting in more valuable prizes such as a television or a trip. Similar programs are designed to reward current ~~Sales Force~~sales force members who reach certain goals by promoting them to a higher level in the organization where their earning opportunity would be expanded, and they would take on additional responsibilities for adding new ~~Sales Force~~sales force members and providing training and motivation to new and existing ~~Sales Force~~sales force members. Other business drivers, such as scheduling product demonstrations, increasing the number of ~~Sales Force~~sales force members, holding product demonstrations, or increasing end consumer attendance at product demonstrations, may also be the focus of a program.

Table of contents

The Company also offers commissions for achieving targeted sales levels. These types of awards are generally based upon the sales achievement of at least a mid-level member of the ~~Sales Force,~~sales force, and her or his down-line members. The down-line consists of those ~~Sales Force~~sales force members ~~that~~who have been directly added to the ~~Sales Force~~sales force by a given ~~Sales Force~~sales force member, as well as those added by her or his down-line member. In this manner, ~~Sales Force~~sales force members can build an extensive organization over time if they are committed to adding and developing their units. In addition to the commission, the positive performance of a unit may also entitle its leader to the use of a Company-provided vehicle and in some cases, the permanent awarding of a vehicle. Similar to the prize programs noted earlier, these programs generally offer varying levels of vehicles that are dependent upon performance.

The Company accrues for the costs of these awards during the period over which the ~~Sales Force~~sales force qualifies for the award and reports these costs primarily as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. These accruals require estimates as to the cost of the awards, based upon estimates of achievement and actual cost to be incurred. During the qualification period, actual results are monitored and changes to the original estimates are made when known.

The key elements of the Turnaround Plan include: increasing the Company's right-sizing plans to improve profitability, accelerating the divestiture of non-core assets to strengthen the balance sheet, restructuring the Company’s debt to enhance liquidity, and structurally fixing the Company’s core business to create a more sustainable business model. Re-engineering charges are primarily related to severance costs, outside consulting services, and facility costs. The Company expects re-engineering ~~related~~ expenses to continue ~~through~~this year and next year asrelated to the Turnaround Plan. Total charges incurred to date related to the Turnaround Plan ~~is completed.~~are approximately $56.0 million, including $48.7 million related to severance charges, and $7.3 million related to other charges, primarily consulting costs.

The change in the effective tax rate infor the third ~~quarters~~quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively,~~ was primarily due to:

•a non-recurring favorable impact from ~~utilization of previously valued deferred tax assets due to~~ a tax policy change ~~discussed further below,~~

•~~a favorable jurisdictional mix of earnings,~~

•~~non-recurring gain from debt extinguishment~~elected in ~~2020 that was offset with previously reserved assets~~

This error resulted from intercompany costs which were allocated to ~~prior years, and~~ an ~~additional current year benefit~~incorrect legal entity resulting in a net understatement of ~~approximately $15 million~~ ~~from the release of valuation allowances that will be included in the annual effective~~income tax ~~rate~~expense for the ~~year.

Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions $ 4.0 $ 3.9

There was no change in the third quarter of 2022 to the uncertain tax position reserves. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is currently under examination or contesting proposed adjustments by various state and international tax authorities for fiscal years ranging from 2004 through 2020. It is reasonably possible that there could be a significant decrease or increase to the unrecognized tax benefit balance during the course of the next twelve months as these examinations continue, other tax examinations commence or various statutes of limitations expire.

While the Company does not currently expect material changes, it is reasonably possible that the ~~amount~~conclusion of, ~~unrecognized benefit with respect to the uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease related to audits in various foreign jurisdictions that may conclude during that period~~ or new developments ~~that~~in, audits in foreign jurisdictions could ~~also, in turn,~~ impact the Company's assessment relative to the establishment of valuation allowances against certain existing deferred tax assets. An estimate of the range of possible changes cannot be made for remaining unrecognized tax benefits because of the significant number of jurisdictions in which the Company does business and the number of open tax periods.

Note 7: Earnings ~~(Loss)~~ Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share - Total is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the basic weighted-average shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share - Total is calculated by also considering the impact of dilutive securities such as stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and performance share units on both net income (loss) and the basic weighted-average shares. In the third quarter of 2022, the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options, restrictive stock units, and performance and market based shares were excluded from dilutive shares as a result of the Company's (Loss) income from continuing operations as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 14: Derivative Financial 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 United States Dollar generally has a negative impact on the ~~Company.~~Company's financial results. 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 investment hedge.

Fair Value Hedges

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. The change in fair value of hedged items results in adjustments to their carrying amounts. In assessing hedge effectiveness, as of the beginning of 2019, the Company made the accounting policy election in accordance with ASU 2017-12 to exclude forward points and record their impact in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item for 2019, other (income) expense, net. Prior to 2019, the forward points had been included as a component of interest expense. Pretax income on forward points wasamounts as follows:

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from certain forecasted transactions or purchases and classifies these as cash flow hedges. The majority of cash flow hedge contracts that the Company enters into relate to inventory ~~purchases.~~purchases or intercompany dividends. At initiation, the Company’s cash flow hedge contracts are generally for periods ranging from one month to fifteen months. The portion of the gain or loss included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income ~~(loss)~~ and is reclassified into earnings through the same line item as the transaction being hedged at the time the hedged transaction impacts earnings. As such, the balance at the end of the current reporting period in other comprehensive (loss) income, ~~(loss),~~ 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~~Changes in fair value, net of ~~the beginning of 2019 to include forward points~~tax recorded in, ~~the assessment of effectiveness for cash flow hedges causing the impact from forward points to be recorded as part of~~or reclassified into, other comprehensive (loss) income ~~(loss) compared to interest expense~~was as it previously had been recorded.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward contracts and certain Euro denominated intercompany borrowings ~~under its Credit Agreement,~~ to hedge a portion of its net equity investment in international operations and designates these as net investment hedges. Changes in the value of these financial instruments are included in foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive loss. 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 the beginning of 2019 to include forward points in the assessment of effectiveness for net investment hedges causing the impact from forward points to be recorded as part of other comprehensive income (loss) compared to interest expense as it previously had been recorded.

The Company's theoretical credit risk for each foreign exchange contract is its replacement cost, but management believes that the risk of incurring credit losses is remote and such losses, if any, would not be material. The Company is also exposed to market risk on its derivative instruments due to potential changes in foreign exchange rates; however, such market risk would be fully offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying items being hedged. For all outstanding derivative instruments, the net accrued gain or loss was recorded either in non-trade accounts receivable, net or accrued liabilities, depending upon the net position of the individual contracts. The gain or loss amounts change based upon the Company's outstanding exposure to fair value fluctuations. The Company has an accounting policy to present derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis. Including the effect of master netting arrangements that provide a right of offset upon default of the counterparty, the Company’s net derivative position amounts were:

~~Credit Agreement~~

~~Table of~~ ~~contents~~

Borrowers a committed credit facility in an aggregate amount of $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 $50.0 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $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 $325.0 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 $200.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850.0 million), subject to certain conditions. Total Credit Agreement borrowings included Euro denominated ~~debt of $94.7 million~~ an~~d $160.3 million~~ ~~as of September 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively.~~

~~Loans made under the Credit~~ Agreement will be composed of (i) “Eurocurrency Borrowings”, bearing interest determined in reference to the 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 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 United States Dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1.0 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 United States 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 September 25, 2021, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 1.70 percent with a base rate spread of 163 basis points 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, limit the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to incur 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.

On February 28, 2020, the Company amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) in order to modify certain provisions, including the consolidated leverage ratio 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. 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):~~


~~Period~~			~~Consolidated Leverage Ratio~~
~~From the second amendment effective date to and including June 27, 2020~~			~~5.75 to 1.00~~
~~September 26, 2020~~			~~5.25 to 1.00~~
~~December 26, 2020~~			~~4.50 to 1.00~~
~~March 27, 2021~~			~~4.00 to 1.00~~
~~June 26, 2021 and thereafter~~			~~3.75 to 1.00~~

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 security interest in 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 its domestic subsidiaries to 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. ~~The~~Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness minus up to $100.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on the last day of each measurement period to (b) consolidated EBITDA for such measurement period, and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of (x) consolidated EBITDA on the last day of each measurement period to (y) the Consolidated Interest Charges for such measurement period.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company shall not permit as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company (a) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to be greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 (subject to Cash Netting) which may be increased two times during the term of the Credit Agreement by 0.25 to 1.00 in connection with any acquisition permitted by the Credit Agreement having aggregate cash consideration in excess of $75 million or (b) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ended to be less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.

Considering the current global market volatility, inflationary cost pressures primarily in China and Europe, and a change in the Company’s liquidity year-to-date, effective August 1, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “First Amendment to Credit Agreement”) to amend certain provisions and covenants to, among other things, (i) allow for a temporary higher maximum total Net Leverage Ratio of 4.5x in the third quarter of 2022, 4.25x in the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, and 3.75x in the second quarter of 2023 and thereafter to allow for additional operating flexibility to execute fully on the Company’s Turnaround Plan; (ii) introduce two additional pricing levels for total Net Leverage Ratios of 3.0x to 3.5x, and for 3.5x and higher, with a provision to revert to pricing per the original agreement following achievement of a total Net Leverage Ratio of 2.75x or less for two consecutive quarters following the covenant modification period; (iii) replace LIBOR with Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the reference interest rate on the entire facility, with a 0% SOFR floor and credit spread adjustments across one-, three-, and six-month tenors.

As of September 24, 2022, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 4.39% with a base rate spread of 275 basis points on SOFR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable in arrears and at maturity. As of September 24, 2022, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, with a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 4.17x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 5.93x. As of December 25, 2021, the Company had a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 2.11x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 8.23x.

The Company has experienced volatility in earnings during the nine months ended September 24, 2022 as it executes the Turnaround Plan and responds to the unpredictability in the market related to recessionary concerns, inflation and COVID lockdowns. As of September 24, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants in the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement. ~~The~~Due to the volatility in the Company’s earnings and progressive tightening of the financial covenants in the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, ~~was amended to prevent~~it is probable that the Company ~~from exceeding~~will not be able to maintain compliance with the covenants in its Credit Agreement, including the existing Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant, for the ~~four fiscal quarters ending~~next twelve months. The Company is in ~~March 2020,~~negotiations with its lenders to amend the Credit Agreement; however, the Company’s ability to amend its covenants, obtain a waiver or otherwise refinance its debt, as well as the timing and ~~continuing through~~terms of any such amendment or refinancing, are dependent upon a number of factors, and there can be no assurance that the ~~calculation for the four fiscal quarters ending~~Company will be successful in ~~March 2021.~~ such efforts.

If the Company ~~had exceeded~~is unable to comply with its covenants, including the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio ~~this~~covenant, then the Credit Agreement lenders could ~~have constituted an Event of Default, potentially resulting in a cross-default under cross-default provisions with respect~~take action to ~~other of the Company’s debt obligations, giving the lenders the ability to terminate the revolving commitments, accelerate outstanding~~cause amounts due under the Credit Agreement ~~exercise certain remedies relating~~ to become due and payable unless the ~~collateral securing~~Company is able to amend such covenants, obtain a waiver or otherwise refinance its debt. If the Company is unable to access future borrowings or is required to pay amounts due under its Credit Agreement ~~and require~~prior to their normal maturity dates, this would have a material impact to its financial position. Accordingly, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt about its ability to ~~post~~continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date of this filing.

The Company is undertaking expense reduction and 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, inclu~~ding repatriating cash held outside~~savings initiatives as part of the ~~United States,~~Turnaround Plan to ~~make~~help continue to pay down its debt ~~repayments to lower its~~and reduce the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. The expense reduction and cash saving initiatives include streamlining facilities, managing working capital, reducing capital expenditures, and reducing overall selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company routinely increases its ~~revolver~~Revolver Facility 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.

~~Note 17: Leases~~

The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles, office space, and manufacturing and distribution facilities, and recognizes the associated lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one year to five years, or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's discretion and renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised have been included in the lease term. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain lease agreements held by the Company include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Leases

~~Lease costs for operating leases and approximate minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are disclosed in Note 17: Leases to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~ Leases, including the minimum rental commitments for ~~2021 and 2022,~~2023, primarily are for automobiles that generally have a lease term of 1 year to 4 years, with the remaining leases related to office, manufacturing and distribution space. It is common for lease agreements to contain various provisions for items such as step rent or other escalation clauses and lease concessions, which may offer a period of no rent payment. These types of items are considered by the Company, and are recorded into expense on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease terms for operating leases. There are no ~~material~~ lease agreements containing material renewal options. Certain leases require the Company to pay property taxes, insurance and routine maintenance.

Note ~~20:~~19: Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the applicable accounting guidance for fair value measurements. This guidance provides the definition of fair value, describes the method used to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and outlines fair value disclosure requirements.

Table of contents

The fair value hierarchy established under this guidance prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

•Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted prices, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

•Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.

Due to their short maturities or their insignificance, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, lines of credit, and leased assets and liabilities ~~and short-term borrowings~~ approximated their fair values at September ~~25, 2021~~24, 2022 and December ~~26, 2020.~~25, 2021.

The term loan and revolver facility are classified as Level 2 liabilities and are estimated using a market approach.

The fair value of the ~~Term Loan is classified as a level 2 liability~~term loan and ~~is estimated using a market approach by comparing the Company’s debt with the secured debt of other companies that have a similar credit rating and debt amount.~~

~~The fair value of the Term Loan was~~revolver facility were as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the results of continuing operations for the 39 weeks ended September ~~25, 2021,~~24, 2022, compared with the 39 weeks ended September ~~26, 2020,~~25, 2021, and changes in financial condition during the 39 weeks ended September ~~25, 2021.~~24, 2022. This information should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Overview

Tupperware Brands Corporation is a leading global consumer products company that designs innovative, functional, and environmentally responsible products. Founded in 1946, the Company's signature container created the modern food storage category that revolutionized the way the world stores, serves, and prepares food. Today, this iconic brand has more than 8,500 functional design and utility patents for solution-oriented kitchen and home products. The Company distributes its products into more than 70 countries primarily through a network of ~~approximately 3 million~~ independent ~~Sales Force~~sales force members around the ~~world.~~world, with approximately 306 thousand active for the quarter ended September 24, 2022 for its continuing operations. Worldwide, the Company engages in the marketing, ~~manufacture,~~manufacturing, and sale of design-centric preparation, storage, and serving solutions for the kitchen and home through the Tupperware brand name. The Company primarily uses a direct selling business model to distribute and market products through personal connections, product demonstrations, and understanding of consumer needs. The Company has also engaged in expanding the reach of the brand through the enhancement of digital platforms to sell and market products as well as exploring business-to-business distribution channels. With a purpose to nurture a better future, the Company's products offer an alternative to single-use items and through the direct selling channel, the Company offers individuals an opportunity to build a business as a meaningful way to make money and impact women, families and communities around the world.

The Company is executing ~~on a growth strategy~~its Turnaround Plan leveraging the consumer acceptance of the iconic Tupperware brand. This ~~growth~~ strategy is rooted in growing and digitizing the direct selling business, ~~expanding into~~entering new categories, increasing consumer access points, and ~~growing~~expanding the Company’s distribution channels. The Company’s Turnaround Plan is intended to bring sustainable growth, ~~for the Company,~~ and ~~for several quarters of 2020 and 2021,~~ the Company has seen progress against this plan through efforts like cost savings initiatives, the divestiture of non-core assets including real estate, the enhancement of internal process and controls across the global business, ~~introduction of social selling tools for Company’s global Sales Force,~~ and product innovations to address the needs of various consumer and socioeconomic segments. In the first quarter 2021, the Company completed the sale of Avroy Shlain and in the third quarter of 2021 has classified House of Fuller, Nutrimetics and Nuvo as held for sale. Results for these beauty brands are presented within discontinued operations. The Company expects to complete the dispositions of House of Fuller, Nutrimetics, and Nuvo, in the next 12 months.

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 the 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"~~“local currency” basis, or ~~"excluding the~~“excluding foreign exchange ~~impact"~~impact”. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a local currency basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The negative impact of COVID-19 on net sales in the third quarter of 2021 was mainly the result of partial or country-wide lockdowns of operations in various markets which affected financial results and liquidity. While the duration and severity of this pandemic continues to be uncertain, the Company currently expects that its results of operations in the fourth quarter of 2021 may also be impacted by COVID-19. 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 COVID-19 pandemic, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, availability and distribution of vaccines, new variants of the virus, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Estimates included herein are those of the Company’s management and are subject to the risks and uncertainties as described in the section titled Forward-Looking Statements in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Recent Developments and Updates

The continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar is presenting challenges for global markets and companies which do business globally. The U.S. dollar has strengthened against the Euro, Japanese Yen, and other currencies. This continues to be a headwind for the Company as its foreign denominated revenues are translated into USD at lower exchange rates negatively impacting results. The Company estimates that the negative impact on revenues for the third quarter of 2022 was approximately 6% compared to the same period in prior year and 4% on a year-to-date basis as compared to prior year.

In the third quarter of 2022, there was lower sales force activity in all segments as compared to both prior year and prior quarter. The decrease is driven by both internal and external factors such as sales force adoption of business model and compensation plan adjustments, primarily in Asia Pacific and North America, as well as lower consumer sentiment, higher gas prices, primarily in Europe, and higher global inflation.

The negative impact of COVID-19 on net sales in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily the result of continued partial lockdowns resulting in limited mobility of consumers, restrictions to open stores, and logistics delays impacting product availability in the outlets, mainly in China.

Net Sales

Net sales were ~~$376.9~~$302.8 million and ~~$423.7~~$376.9 million in the third ~~quarters~~quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net Sales were down in Asia Pacific, Europe, and ~~2020, respectively.~~North America, and up in South America. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales decreased ~~$(54.6)~~$50.2 million or 1314 percent, primarily due to:

•~~China,~~Asia Pacific, decreased $19.4 million, mainly related to lower recruiting and overall sales force activity, negatively impacted by: (1) China's continued COVID-19 lock-downs resulting in limited mobility of consumers, restrictions to open stores, and logistics delays impacting product availability in the outlets, (2) Indonesia’s underperformance driven by longer than anticipated sales force adoption of business model and compensation plan adjustments, and (3) Malaysia mainly related to lower sales force engagement and recruiting, lower consumer spending caused in part by removal of government subsidy on food essentials, and lower sales volume negatively impacted by price increases.

•Europe, decreased $19.0 million, driven by lower sales force activity across the segment, including from lower ~~net studio count~~consumer spending as a result of continued deterioration of consumer sentiment, higher inflation, higher gas prices, and negative impact from ~~COVID-19 lockdowns and continued disruption caused~~price increases. In addition, the segment was negatively impacted by ~~the pandemic~~timing of business-to-business transactions, mainly in Germany.

•~~Indonesia, reflecting~~North America, decreased $16.3 million, primarily due to lower recruiting and ~~a less active Sales Force including from~~overall sales force productivity in the ~~continued impact~~segment, longer than anticipated adoption of ~~mandatory or strict COVID-9 lockdowns~~

•~~Italy, reflecting lower business-to-business sales compared to the prior year~~

•compensation plan changes in the United States and Canada, and negative impact from ~~lower recruiting and productivity partially related to disruption to the Sales Force associated to the recent implementation of a new front end technology solution~~price increases.

•~~Partially offset~~South America, increased $4.5 million, driven by Argentina, ~~mainly~~primarily from ~~increased~~a larger total and active sales force, ~~activity and~~including from higher retention, higher productivity, ~~including from~~as well as higher prices due to ~~inflation~~inflation.

The negative impact to net sales in the third quarter of ~~2021~~2022 as a result of COVID-19 is estimated at ~~4 percent.~~2 percent, driven by China. The average impact of higher prices was ~~not significant~~approximately 11 percent in the third quarter of ~~2021 compared with 2020. The Company continues to monitor~~2022, while the ~~effects of COVID-19 on its sales and has taken several steps to mobilize its resources to ensure adequate liquidity, business continuity and employee safety during this pandemic.~~negative impact from lower volumes was approximately 30 percent.

Net sales were ~~$1,207.4~~$991.3 million and ~~$1,109.5~~$1,207.4 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. Net Sales were down in Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America, and up in South America compared to the year-to-date period ended September ~~26, 2020, respectively.~~25, 2021. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales ~~increased $63.3~~decreased $162.7 million or 614 percent, ~~primarily~~ due ~~to:~~to factors largely mirroring those noted above with respect to the explanation of changes in the third quarter of 2022 compared with 2021. Below is the net sales performance by segment for the year-to-date period ended September 24, 2022 compared to the year-to-date period ended September 25, 2021.

•~~Argentina, from a more active sales force and productivity, including from higher prices due to inflation~~Asia Pacific, decreased $55.1 million

•~~Brazil Tupperware Mexico, and the United States and Canada from increased Sales Force activity~~Europe, decreased $69.9 million

•~~Partially offset by lower sales in Asia Pacific, mainly in China, Indonesia and Italy, with the factors impacting year-to-date sales comparison largely mirroring those of the quarter~~North America, decreased $49.1 million

•South America, increased $11.4 million

A more detailed discussion of the sales results by segment is included in the segment results section in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. As discussed in Note 3: Promotional Costs to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, the Company includes certain promotional costs in selling, general and administrative expense. As a result, the Company's net sales may not be comparable with other companies that treat these costs as a reduction of net sales.

Gross Margin and Gross Profit

Gross profit was ~~$247.9~~$196.6 million and ~~$291.2~~$247.9 million in the third ~~quarters~~quarter of ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Gross margin as a percentage of sales was ~~65.8~~64.9 percent and ~~68.7~~65.8 percent in the third ~~quarters~~quarter of ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The decrease of ~~2.9~~0.9 percentage points ~~("pp"~~(“pp”) is primarily due to:

•4.1 pp from higher overall resin costs inacross all segments, particularly in Europe. Furthermore, resin prices have started to stabilize and have decreased as compared to the second quarter of 2022.

•1.7 pp from higher ~~inventory obsolescence~~manufacturing costs across all segments, particularly in ~~Asia Pacific and North America~~Europe, mainly from inefficiencies resulting from lower sales volume

•~~higher manufacturing costs, driven~~partially offset by ~~Europe and South America~~a 4.6 pp benefit from an increase in prices across all segments

Gross profit was ~~$827.4~~$639.3 million and ~~$747.4~~$827.4 million in the year-to-date periods ended September ~~25, 2021~~24, 2022 and September ~~26, 2020,~~25, 2021, respectively. Gross margin as a percentage of sales was ~~68.5~~64.5 percent and ~~67.4~~68.5 percent in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, ~~and September 26, 2020,~~ respectively. The ~~increase~~decrease of ~~1.1~~4.0 pp is primarily due to:

Table of contents

•~~lower overall~~2.7 pp from higher manufacturing costs ~~driven by~~across all segments, mainly from inefficiencies resulting from lower sales volume

•2.7 pp from higher overall resin costs in all segments, particularly in Europe

•1.1 pp from product mix and other costs, primarily in Asia Pacific and Europe

•partially offset by ~~higher overall resin costs~~a 2.5 pp benefit from increase in prices across all segments ~~with the most significant impact in South America~~

While resin costs have started to stabilize, and the Company expects them to continue to stabilize in the fourth quarter, the Company believes resin costs may still negatively impact gross margins in the fourth quarter.

As discussed in Note 2: ~~Shipping and Handling~~Distribution Costs to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, the Company includes distribution costs of its products in selling, general and administrative expense. As a result, the Company’s gross ~~margin~~profit may not be comparable with other companies which include this expense in cost of products sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

~~Table of~~ ~~contents~~

Selling, general and administrative expenses were ~~$190.7~~$175.6 million and ~~$205.7~~$190.7 million in the third ~~quarters~~quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact of $11.8 million, selling, general and ~~2020, respectively.~~ administrative expense decreased by $3.3 million primarily due to lower sales volumes impacting the following:

•$3.2 million decrease in administration costs mainly related to stock compensation, partially offset by increases in incremental expense to support the omnichannel strategy and improve service

•$1.2 million decrease in distribution costs, inclusive of the negative impact from expenses related to the rationalization of warehouses in the United States and Canada

•partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in selling costs, mainly related to higher commission expenses in India and Indonesia

•promotional costs remained in line with prior year as the $2.9 million cost reduction from lower sales volume was offset by a $2.9 million re-investment in sales force in-person events and meetings

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales was ~~50.6~~58.0 percent and ~~48.5~~50.6 percent in the third ~~quarters~~quarter of ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The ~~2.1pp~~7.4 pp increase in selling, general and administrative expense as compared to the third quarter of 2021 is primarily due to:

•~~higher administration~~2.0 pp increase due to promotional costs from re-investments in sales force in-person events and other expenses mainly driven by higher investments in marketing, digital and business expansion talent, infrastructure and systems needs to support the growth strategy, and investments in the optimization of the Company's global tax structuremeetings

•2.0 pp increase due to higher selling related expenses mainly from business-to-business investments, primarily in the United States and Canada, and the new business model in India

•1.3 pp increase due to higher distribution costs, primarily due to the rationalization of warehouses in the United States and Canada

•1.2 pp increase from higher commission expenses in Indonesia, a reversal of a non-income tax reserve in the third quarter of 2021 in Brazil, and an increase in marketing expenses to support e-commerce volume, primarily in the United States and Canada

•0.7 pp increase in allowance for credit losses, primarily in France

•0.2 pp increase due to under absorption of administration expenses on lower sales and incremental investments to support the omnichannel strategy and improve service

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $565.9 million and $620.5 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact of $28.4 million selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $26.2 million primarily due to lower sales volumes impacting the following:

•$15.1 million decrease in selling costs, partially offset by higher commission expenses in Indonesia

•$14.2 million decrease in distribution costs, inclusive of cost inflation as well as expenses related to ~~higher logistics~~the rationalization of warehouses in the United States and Canada

•$9.5 million decrease in promotional costs, ~~warehousing costs~~mainly in ~~Brazil, Italy,~~Europe, and sales and recruiting event savings in the United States and Canada

•partially offset by ~~lower selling expenses mainly from lower Sales Force commission expense predominantly in the United States and Canada reflecting lower sales~~

~~Selling, general and administrative expenses were $620.5~~a $13.1 million and $608.7 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales was 51.4 percent and 54.9 percent in the year-to-date periods ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. The 3.5pp decrease is primarily due to:

•~~lower administration and other expenses mainly~~increase due to ~~the~~a reversal of ~~$10.4 million~~ non-income tax reserves in Brazil ~~connected to a legal dispute over double taxation based on a final Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Company~~ in the second ~~quarter~~and third quarters of 2021 ~~lower professional services fees supporting business turnaround efforts,~~ and an enterprise ~~aware~~award from the local government in China which was received in the first quarter of ~~2021; partially offset by the absence~~2021, both of ~~a gain related to the repatriation of cash from Argentina~~which did not repeat in ~~the second quarter of 2020 versus a loss in the third quarter of 2021~~

•~~lower selling expenses mainly from lower allowance for credit losses, primarily in France, Germany,~~2022, and ~~Philippines~~

•lower promotional expenses reflecting the benefits from implementation of right-sizing initiatives related to the Turnaround Plan and cancellation of certain events and travel due to COVID-19, primarily in Australia and New Zealand, China, Germany, Iberia, and the United States and Canada

•partially offset by higher distribution costs, primarily related to higher outbound freight in the United States and Canada and higher warehousing costs in Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States and Canada, as well as higher investments in marketing, ~~digital and~~ business expansion talent, and infrastructure ~~and systems~~ needs, ~~to support the growth strategy, and~~as well as investments in the optimization of the Company's global tax structure

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales was 57.1 percent and 51.4 percent in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. The 5.7 pp increase in selling, general and administrative expense as compared to the year to date as of the third quarter of 2021 is primarily due to:

•1.6 pp increase from higher selling and marketing costs as a result of higher investments to support business to business, retail, and e-commerce strategies

Table of contents

•1.4 pp increase from higher administration costs and other expenses mainly due to reversals of non-income tax reserves in Brazil in the second and third quarters of 2021, and to an enterprise award from the local government in China which was received in the first quarter of 2021 and did not repeat in 2022, partially offset by lower management incentives

•1.1 pp increase due to under absorption of administration expenses on lower sales and incremental investments in commercial, business expansion, and infrastructure needs to support the omnichannel strategy

•0.8 pp from higher warehousing costs to improve service levels and due to inflation, primarily in the United States and Canada, as well as expenses related to the rationalization of warehouses in the United States and Canada

•0.7 pp higher investments in other accounts, including promotional costs due to re-investments in sales force in-person events and meetings, higher commission expenses in Indonesia, and higher allowance for credit losses in France

The Company segregates selling, general and administrative expenses into allocated and unallocated expenses based upon the estimated time spent managing segment operations. The allocated expenses are then apportioned on a local currency basis to each segment based primarily upon segment net sales. The unallocated expenses reflect amounts unrelated to segment operations. Selling, general and administrative expense to be allocated is determined at the beginning of the year based upon estimated expenditures.

Unallocated expenses were ~~an expense of $8.4~~$12.1 million and ~~an expense of $2.1~~$7.2 million in the third ~~quarters~~quarter of ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The ~~$6.3~~$4.9 million increase is primarily due ~~to:~~

•~~no gain on debt extinguishment in~~to lower reversal of management incentives as compared to the third quarter of 2021 ~~compared~~due to ~~a gain on debt extinguishment of $9.9 million~~the reduction in ~~2020~~

•~~lower fees for professional services firms supporting~~2022 happening throughout the ~~Turnaround Plan efforts~~

•~~infrastructure and systems needs to support~~first three quarters while the ~~growth strategy~~

•~~investments~~2021 reduction started in the ~~optimization of the Company's global tax structure~~third quarter, increased information technology investments, and higher legal costs related to intellectual property, partially offset by lower stock compensation costs.

Unallocated expenses were ~~an expense of $39.8~~$47.4 million and ~~income of $4.7~~$30.9 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, ~~and September 26, 2020,~~ respectively. The ~~$44.5~~$16.5 million increase is primarily due ~~to:~~

•~~loss on debt extinguishment of $8.1 million in 2021, compared~~ to ~~a gain on debt extinguishment of $49.9 million in 2020~~

~~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 their multicurrency Credit Agreement (as further amended via an Amendment No. 1 dated August 28, 2019, 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 replaced 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 credit facility in an aggregate amount of $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 $50.0 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $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 $325.0 million. With the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase, on up to three occasions, the Facility Amount by a total of up to $200.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850.0 million), subject to certain conditions. Total Credit Agreement borrowings included Euro denominated ~~debt of~~ ~~$94.7 million an~~d ~~$160.3 millionas of September 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively.~~

~~Loans made under the Credit~~ Agreement will be composed of (i) “Eurocurrency Borrowings”, bearing interest determined in reference to the 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 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 United States Dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1.0 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 United States 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 ~~September 25, 2021, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of~~ ~~1.70 percent~~ ~~with a base rate spread of~~ ~~163~~ ~~basis points on~~ ~~LIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement that has a final maturity date of March 29, 2024.~~

negotiations with its lenders to amend the Credit Agreement; however, the Company’s ability to amend its covenants, obtain a waiver or otherwise refinance its debt, as well as the timing and ~~continuing through~~terms of any such amendment or refinancing, are dependent upon a number of factors, and there can be no assurance that the ~~calculation for the four fiscal quarters ending~~Company will be successful in ~~March 2021.~~ such efforts.

At September ~~25, 2021~~,24, 2022, the Company had ~~$147.0~~$135.3 million of unused lines of credit, including ~~$120.9~~$131.3 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and ~~$26.1~~$4.0 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.

~~Senior Notes~~

~~The Company had~~ ~~$600.0 million~~ ~~aggregate principal amount of~~ ~~4.75%~~ senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) outstanding as of March 28, 2020. The Senior Notes were to mature on June 1, 2021. The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture, by and among the Company, the Guarantor and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee.

~~During the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020 the Company retired its Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of~~ ~~$600.0 million~~ through tender offers, open-market purchases, and redemption by using cash on hand and the proceeds from the Term Loan received in December 2020. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of ~~$40.0 million~~, ~~$9.9 million~~ ~~and a loss on debt extinguishment of~~ ~~$9.7 million~~ ~~in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively.~~

Cash

~~Table of~~ ~~contents~~

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 a cash and cash equivalents balance of ~~$123.8~~$102.9 million as of September ~~25, 2021,~~24, 2022, 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 balance as of September ~~25, 2021~~24, 2022 includes ~~$123.2~~$102.1 million held by foreign subsidiaries. Of the cash held outside the United States, less than 1 percent was deemed ineligible for repatriation. Other than a deferred tax liability of ~~$10.0~~$8.1 million for the withholding tax liability for future distribution of unrepatriated foreign earnings, no United States federal income taxes or other foreign taxes have been recorded related to permanently reinvested earnings.

The Company’s most significant foreign currency exposures include:

•~~Brazilian Real~~

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The 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: 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, at the Company's option, one of four different base rates, plus an applicable spread. The Company generally selects LIBOR~~fixed basis spread on SOFR as its base rate. As of September ~~25, 2021,~~24, 2022, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of ~~1.70~~4.39 percent with a base rate spread of ~~163~~275 basis points on its United States Dollar and Euro denominated ~~LIBOR/~~SOFR/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. In March of 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority announced that five of the USD LIBOR settings would continue to be published through June of 2023. 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 material impact from the phase-out of LIBOR.

As of September ~~25, 2021,~~24, 2022, the Company had total borrowings of ~~$511.0~~$702.0 million outstanding under its Credit Agreement, with ~~$94.7~~€172.7 million denominated in Euro. If short-term interest rates varied by 10 percent, which in the Company’s case would mean short duration United States Dollar and ~~Euro LIBOR,~~EURIBOR, with all other variables remaining constant, the Company's annual interest expense would not be significantly impacted.

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.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

A significant portion of the Company’s sales and profit come 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 United States 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 United States 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,~~Euro, Indonesian Rupiah, ~~Malaysian Ringgit,~~and Mexican ~~Peso and South African Rand.~~Peso.

Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company’s local product sourcing in many countries, a strengthening United States 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~~the balance sheet ~~risks all work together~~risk to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled. The net cash flow impact of these currency hedges was ~~an outflow~~inflows of ~~$4.2~~$0.8 million and an outflow of ~~$0.6~~$4.2 million, in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, ~~and September 26, 2020.~~respectively.

~~Table of~~ ~~contents~~

The United States Dollar equivalent of the Company’s most significant net open forward contracts as of September ~~25, 2021~~24, 2022 were to purchase ~~Japanese Yen~~Indonesian Rupiah worth ~~$14.1~~$89.3 million, ~~United States Dollars~~Mexican Pesos worth ~~$26.0~~$53.8 million and Euros worth $11.4 million and to sell Swiss ~~Francs~~Franc worth ~~$10.9 million and Euros worth $17.1~~$57.3 million. In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for United States 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 United States Dollars. The notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company’s outstanding currency exposures. Based on rates existing as of September ~~25, 2021,~~24, 2022, the Company had a net derivative asset of $0.1 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-United States 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 14: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Table of contents

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 Company products, and the Company estimates that ~~2021~~2022 cost of sales will include approximately ~~$151.3~~$94.2 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, the Company estimates that a 10 percent fluctuation in the cost of resin would impact the Company’s annual cost of sales by approximately ~~$15.1~~$9.4 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. 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 the Company headquarters in Orlando, Florida. This program is exposed to the risks inherent in the real estate development process. Included among these risks is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the commercial real estate market, 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 other 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 ~~15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)~~15(d)-15(e)) that are designed to ~~provide reasonable assurance~~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 SEC'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 Company will be detected.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision of the ~~Company’s~~Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the ~~Company’s~~design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. ~~Based upon that~~As of September 24, 2022, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the ~~Company’s~~ disclosure controls and procedures were ~~not~~ effective at the reasonable assurance ~~level as of such date due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.~~

~~Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting~~

As discussed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K/A filed on August 5, 2021 (the "Form 10-K/A"), the Company determined that it should not have concluded that certain adjustments recognized in the third quarter of 2019 were changes in estimates. New facts, information and data, that were first understood by management in the second quarter of 2021, resulted in management reassessing such 2019 adjustments and concluding that these adjustments were misstatements as a result of management override at Fuller Mexico. As discussed in Item 9A of the Form 10-K/A, management also reassessed its conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and determined the following material weaknesses existed at December 26, 2020 and remain outstanding as of September 25, 2021.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company identified material weaknesses in the control environment at its Mexico operations; specifically, with respect to information technology general controls, the Company did not maintain effective user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and to adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications and data to appropriate Company personnel at Tupperware Mexico; and there was override by local management of certain internal controls at the Tupperware Mexico and Fuller Mexico locations resulting in immaterial misstatements in net sales, accounts receivable, inventories, and accrued liabilities during the fiscal years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018 and each of the interim periods in those annual periods. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that these material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement to the Company’s annual or interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that would not be prevented or detected.

~~Remediation~~

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company was able to remediate additional control deficiencies related to the Tupperware Mexico location material weakness, in the areas of segregation of duties and user access.

~~During 2020, the Company has implemented remedial actions related to override of controls by local management at the Tupperware Mexico and Fuller Mexico locations as indicated below:~~

•~~Termination of employees;~~

•~~Restructuring of employee organizational structure and reporting lines;~~

•~~Town-hall trainings in Mexico; and~~

•~~Hiring of new global director of compliance in the second quarter of 2021, based in Mexico.~~

As the Company’s management continues to remediate the material weaknesses, the Company will take additional measures to address the un-remediated control deficiencies or may modify some of the remediation measures to improve the design and/or operating effectiveness of those controls. These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable

~~Table of~~ ~~contents~~

remediated controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. The Company expects that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed prior to the end of fiscal year 2021, as previously communicated.level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There ~~were~~have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of ~~2021 as described above~~2022 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"~~“Exchange Act”).

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

A number of ordinary-course legal and administrative proceedings against the Company 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 Company 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 Company.

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 Company, 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 Company to Premark shareholders in 1996.

In February 2020, putative stockholder class actions were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The actions were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and a lead plaintiff was appointed. On July 31, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint, which alleges that statements in public filings between January 31, 2018 and February 24, 2020 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s disclosure of controls and procedures, as well as the need for an amendment of its credit facility, violated Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The ~~plaintiffs seek~~lead plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s stock during the potential class period and demand unspecified monetary damages. The Company's motion to dismiss the complaint was granted on January 25, 2021, but the court permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on February 16, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on April 2, 2021. The ~~court~~Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 9, 2021, but again permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on August 30, 2021.

The plaintiff filed an appeal on April 11, 2022, which was fully briefed bywith the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals as of June 1, 2022. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled oral argument for the appeal in December ~~22, 2021.~~2022. 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.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is conducting an inquiry into our accounting practices relating to the Company’s Tupperware Mexico and Fuller Mexico locations. As disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-KIn June 2022, a putative stockholder class action was filed on March 10, 2021 and Form 10-K/A filed on August 5, 2021 for the year ended December 26, 2020 and in Item 4. Controls and Procedures of Part I of this report, the Company has concluded that there are material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to such locations and the Mexico operations. The Company is fully cooperating with this SEC inquiry. As it is ongoing, the Company is unable to predict how long the inquiry will continue or whether, at its conclusion, the SEC will bring an enforcement action against the Company and ~~if it does, what fines or other remedies it may seek. Furthermore, publicity surrounding~~certain current and former officers in the ~~inquiry or any enforcement~~United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that statements made in public filings between November 3, 2021 and May 3, 2022 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s earnings and sales performance and full year 2022 guidance violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s shares during the potential class period and demands unspecified monetary damages. The plaintiff intends to file an amended complaint in late November 2022.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Reference is made to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in the ~~2019~~Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information concerning risk factors. The Company is adding the following risk factors as set forth below.

~~Table of~~ ~~contents~~

The following risk ~~factor~~factors should be read in conjunction with, and supplement, the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of each of the ~~2020~~Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form ~~10-K/A.~~10-Q for the quarters ended March 26, 2022 and June 25, 2022. Before making an investment in the Company’s securities, investors should carefully consider the ~~risks~~risk discussed below, together with the other information in this Report, including the sections 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.

~~Technology~~There is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and ~~Cyber-Security~~this may adversely affect the Company's stock price and the Company's ability to raise capital.

~~The~~Pursuant to ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the Company ~~relies extensively~~is required to and does evaluate at each annual and interim period whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. Based on ~~information technology systems~~the definitions in the relevant accounting standards, management has determined that while it is currently in compliance with the covenants under its Credit Agreement, due 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 managethe volatility in the Company’s ~~business.

Although the Company has ~~business continuity~~taken, and plans ~~in place, if~~to continue to take, proactive measures to enhance its liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility, including discussions with the lenders under the Company's Credit Agreement to amend the covenants under the Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that these ~~plans do not provide effective alternative processes on~~measures, including the timing and terms thereof, will be successful or sufficient. An amendment to the Credit Agreement may also lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional financial covenants and other lender protections.

Current and future indebtedness could restrict our operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to take specified actions.

The Company must meet certain financial covenants as defined in the applicable agreements to borrow under its credit facilities. Under the Credit Agreement (as defined below), among other covenants, the Company is not permitted as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company (a) for the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to be greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 (subject to Cash Netting) which may be increased two times during the term of the Credit Agreement by 0.25 to 1.00 in connection with any acquisition permitted by the Credit Agreement having aggregate cash consideration in excess of $75 million or (b) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in

Table of contents

the Credit Agreement) for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ended to be less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00. Effective August 1, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to amend certain provisions and covenants to, among other things, allow for a temporary higher maximum total Net Leverage Ratio of 4.5x in the third quarter of 2022, 4.25x in the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, and 3.75x in the second quarter of 2023 and thereafter to allow for additional operating flexibility to execute fully on the Company’s Turnaround Plan and to introduce two additional pricing levels for total Net Leverage Ratios of 3.0x to 3.5x, and for 3.5x and higher, with a provision to revert to pricing per the original agreement following achievement of a total Net Leverage Ratio of 2.75x or less for two consecutive quarters following the covenant modification period. As of September 24, 2022, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 4.39% with a base rate spread of 275 basis points on SOFR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable in arrears and at maturity. As of September 24, 2022, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, with a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 4.17x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 5.93x. 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 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 in the future will depend on market conditions and the Company’s financial performance at such time. Any refinancing, if at all, of the Company’s debt could be at higher interest rates and may require the Company to comply with more covenants, which could further restrict its business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict the Company from adopting some of these alternatives.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party to such credit agreement. The new credit agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount available to the Company and the subsidiary borrowers of up to $480 million, (ii) a term facility available to the Company in U.S. dollars in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million and (iii) a term facility available to the Company and the or the Swiss subsidiary borrower in Euros in an aggregate principal amount of €176 million. The revolving facility is divided into (a) global tranche, Mexican tranche, and Singaporean tranche commitments, with the aggregate amount of borrowings under each tranche not to exceed $450 million, $15 million, and $15 million, respectively, (b) a global tranche letter of credit facility, available up to $50 million of the amount of the revolving facility, and (c) a global tranche swingline facility, available up to $100 million of the amount of the revolving facility. Each of such tranches is available to the Company and the applicable subsidiary borrowers, with extensions of credit to the subsidiary borrowers not to exceed $325 million in the aggregate at any time outstanding. The Company is permitted to increase, subject to certain conditions, the revolving facility, the U.S. term facility and/or the Euro term facility so long as (i) the revolving facility is increased by no more than $250 million (for a maximum aggregate revolving facility of $730 million) and (ii) all facilities are increased by no more than $250 million, plus certain repayments of the loans under the credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and the other parties, plus an unlimited amount provided that the incurrence of such amount does not cause the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement and which shall be calculated net of up to $100 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents ("Cash Netting")) for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to exceed 3.00 to 1.00. As of December 25, 2021, the Company had a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 2.11x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 8.23x. Each of the Revolving Facility, the U.S. Term Facility, and the Euro Term Facility will mature on November 23, 2026. As the Company's debt approaches maturity, if the Company is unable to refinance its new credit facility, or if the Company refinances its indebtedness on terms that are less favorable than those currently contained in the credit facility, the Company’s liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted.

The Company’s Tupperware® trademark is collateral under the new credit facility. The Company’s iconic Tupperware® brand has worldwide recognition, and the Company’s continuing success, including the value of its collateral under the new credit facility, depends on its ability to maintain and enhance its brand protection, image, and reputation. Maintaining, promoting, and growing the Tupperware brand will depend on design and marketing efforts, sales force and consumer promotions and campaigns, product innovation, and product quality. The Company’s commitment to product innovation and quality and its continuing investment in design and brand awareness may not have the desired impact on its brand image and reputation. In addition, the Company’s success in maintaining, extending, and expanding its brand image depends on its ability to adapt to a rapidly changing social media environment and digital dissemination of branding campaigns. The Company could be adversely impacted if it fails to achieve any of these objectives.

We are subject to financial risks as a result of our international operations, including exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, the impact of foreign currency restrictions, and the impact of international sanctions.

The Company is subject to risks of doing business internationally. The Company has derived, for a number of years, most of its net sales from operations outside the United States. As a result, we face exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates as the financial results of our international operations are translated from local currency into U.S. dollars.

Table of contents

Movement in exchange rates has had and may continue to have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings, cash flows, and financial position. The Company’s most significant exposures are to the Brazilian Real, Chinese Renminbi, Argentine Peso, Euro, Indonesian Rupiah, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso, and South African Rand. Although the Company’s currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from its local product sourcing in many markets, a strengthening United States Dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company continues to implement foreign currency hedging and risk management strategies to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in earnings associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company generally 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. Some of the hedging strategies implemented have a positive or negative impact on cash flows as foreign currencies fluctuate versus the United States Dollar. In past periods the movement of foreign currency exchange rates has had a material effect on our results of operations. There can be no assurance that our hedging strategies will be successful and foreign currency fluctuations and related hedging activities may not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and/or financial condition.

Furthermore, foreign governments may impose restrictions on currency remittances. Due to the possibility of government restrictions (or existing restrictions) on transfers of cash out of countries and control of exchange rates and currency convertibility, the Company may not be able to immediately access its cash at the exchange rate used to translate its financial statements.

In addition, the United States government may impose material sanctions and restrictions on doing business with certain countries, businesses, and individuals, including, as an example, the sanctions against countries such as Russia or within specific regions of Ukraine. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial performance, including through increased costs of compliance, reduced net sales as a result of restrictions on the Company's ability to sell into specific regions of the world, higher volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, and increased input costs (such as energy).

The conflict in Ukraine could impact business and financial performance in Europe and our results of operations on a consolidated basis. We are closely monitoring the political and economic situation and have taken several measures, including cash repatriation and ruble hedging, to proactively manage the risk. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia could impact the fulfillment of existing orders, any future revenue streams from impacted customers, and the recoverability of certain financial assets. As there is uncertainty surrounding the status of physical assets in the Ukraine area, the Company has fully reserved for its accounts receivables and inventories, and fully impaired the operating lease of its office building, in Ukraine. The reserve and impairment was approximately $0.4 million. We will continue to assess our mitigation activities in light of the evolving situation and the related risks, but there can be no assurances that the conflict will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and/or financial condition.

A decrease in operating cash flows, any inability to access financing sources or other constraints on liquidity could adversely affect our business.

Our business, including our ability to fund operating activities, capital projects and interest and debt repayments as well as to execute on the Turnaround Plan, depends upon our generation of strong operating cash flow and available financing sources. As of September 24, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $102.9 million and $135.3 million of availability under our revolving credit facilities and available lines of credit. However, in the first, second, and third quarters of fiscal 2022 we generated negative operating cash flow and, based on our current business plan, including the Turnaround Plan, we expect to continue to spend substantial amounts in future periods, which may result in further periods of negative operating cash flow. Our business and operations may also consume resources faster than we anticipate. Therefore, in order for us to meet our capital requirements and successfully execute our business plan, we may require additional capital through various sources of financing that may include the issuance of new equity securities, debt or a combination of both. If we issue additional equity securities, existing stockholders will experience dilution, and the new equity securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock. If we issue new debt securities, the debt holders would have rights senior to common stockholders to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay any dividends on our common stock. Further, additional financing, whether debt or equity, may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any future offerings or the impact thereof on the price of our common stock. Further, during periods of economic, political and social turmoil such as the present, the financial industry and the credit and capital markets may be materially and adversely affected, increasing the cost of and reducing access to capital. We could also be required to seek funds through asset sales or collaborations, licensing agreements or other strategic alliances that we would not choose to execute solely for operational or strategic reasons. Our ability to obtain additional capital through these or other means will depend on our results of operations and a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including the risks described in Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 26, 2022 and June 25, 2022. The inability to generate sufficient cash flows to support our business, failure to maintain covenant compliance, or the lack of available financing in adequate amounts and on appropriate terms when needed could adversely affect our business, financial ~~position~~condition and results of operations could be materially affected.

The outcome of pending and future claims and litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and damage our reputation.

We are a party to claims and litigation in the normal course of business. Furthermore, the Company may face material litigation outside the ordinary course of business that could ~~if not successfully implemented,~~materially adversely impact the ~~effectiveness~~Company’s results of ~~internal~~operations, financial condition, or cash flows. In February 2020, putative stockholder class actions were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The actions were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and a lead plaintiff was appointed. On July 31, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint, which alleges that statements in public filings between January 31, 2018 and February 24, 2020 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s disclosure of controls ~~over financial reporting.~~and procedures, as well as the need for an amendment of its credit facility, violated Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The lead plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s stock during the potential class period and demand unspecified monetary damages. The Company's motion to dismiss the complaint was granted on January 25, 2021, but the court permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on February 16, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on April 2, 2021. The Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 9, 2021, but again permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on August 30, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint on October 14, 2021, and on February 4, 2022, the Court dismissed the third amended complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff filed an appeal on April 11, 2022, which was fully briefed as of June 1, 2022. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled oral argument for the appeal in December 2022. The Company is ~~continuing~~unable at this time to ~~upgrade~~determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its ~~systems~~results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Additionally, several putative stockholders filed stockholder derivative complaints in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The cases were consolidated, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on ~~a worldwide basis,~~August 5, 2020. The consolidated amended complaint asserts claims against certain current and ~~as disclosed in Item 7. Management's Discussion~~former officers and ~~Analysis~~directors for breach of ~~Financial Condition~~fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and ~~Results~~contribution for violations of ~~Operations,~~the securities laws based on allegations that the officers and directors allowed the Company ~~incurred a $30.5 million write-off~~to make false or misleading statements in violation of ~~capitalized software implementation costs related~~the securities laws. The Court stayed proceedings in this action pending resolution of the appeal of the dismissal of the third motion to ~~the front and back office standardization project that was initiated in 2017, due to a shift~~dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. A similar stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. The parties reached an agreement to stay this action pending the resolution of the appeal of the dismissal of the third motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. 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.

In June 2022, a putative stockholder class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that statements made in public filings between November 3, 2021 and May 3, 2022 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s earnings and sales performance and full year 2022 guidance violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s shares during the potential class period and demands unspecified monetary damages. The plaintiff intends to file an amended complaint in late November 2022.The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of this action would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Legal proceedings in general, and securities and class action litigation and regulatory investigations in particular, can be expensive and disruptive. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and we are unable to predict how long the legal proceedings to which we are currently subject will continue. An unfavorable outcome of any legal proceeding may have an adverse impact on our business, ~~model~~financial condition and ~~digital strategy set forward by the new leadership team.~~results of operations, or our stock price. Any proceeding could negatively impact our reputation among our customers or our shareholders. Furthermore, publicity surrounding ongoing legal proceedings, even if resolved favorably for us, could result in additional legal proceedings against us, as well as damage our brand image.
