Basis of Presentation—Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain disclosures and other financial information that normally are required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States can behave been condensed or omitted. Our accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2018.2019. Management is responsible for the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, which are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 201829, 2019 and March 31, 2018,2019, our results of operations for the three and six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, and October 1, 2017, and our cash flows for the six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017.2018.
New Accounting Pronouncements—Effective April
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements. We adopted this standard effective April 1, 2018 usingof the modified retrospective transition method. TheNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our fiscal year 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such significant accounting policies are applicable for periods prior to the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 4, Revenue Recognition, for our enhanced disclosures about revenue in accordance with the following new standard.accounting standards.
OnIn February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updateupdate ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases. The new guidance was issued“Leases" (Topic 842), which requires lessees to increase transparencyrecognize a right-of-use asset and comparability among companies by requiring mostlease liability for all leases to be includedwith terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. We adopted ASU 2016-02 prospectively starting on April 1, 2019. As part of the balance sheet and by expanding disclosure requirements. Based onadoption, we elected the current effective dates,package of practical expedients which permits us under the new guidance would first apply in the first quarter of our fiscal 2020. Although we expect adoption of the standard not to materially increase the assets and liabilities recordedreassess historical lease classification, not to recognize short-term leases on our balance sheet, and not to separate lease and non-lease components for all our leases. In addition, we are still evaluatingelected the overalluse of hindsight to determine the lease term of our leases and applied our incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining term of our leases as of the adoption date. The impact upon adoption, on April 1, 2019, resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of approximately $75,749, and lease liabilities of approximately $91,604 on our financial statements.unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 3, Leases, for additional information.
In August 2017,2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Hedging (Topic 815)Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements toCustomer’s Accounting for Hedging Activities. Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” ASU 2017-12 amends existing2018-15 clarifies the accounting treatment for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. ASU 2018-15 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2018-15 may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships.all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2017-12 also expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The standard allows for early adoption. As of September 30, 2018, we elected to early adopt this standard, which did not2018-15 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Other than the standards noted above and in our fiscal 2018 financial statements, there are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data unless otherwise indicated)
2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The current authoritative guidance on fair value clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value, and requiresexpands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The valuation techniques required by the current authoritative literature are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3—Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies we used to measure our financial instruments at fair value.
Long-term debt—The fair value of our outstandingthe variable-rate long-term debt is calculated based on current market rates for debt of the same risk and maturities. The fair value of the fixed-rate long-term debt is based on market quotes for the outstanding notes.each issuance. We consider these to be Level 2 instruments.
Interest rate swaps—We periodically enter into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge our forecasted interest payments on our outstanding variable-rate debt. The fair value of those swaps is determined using a pricing model based on observable inputs for similar instruments and other market assumptions. We consider these to be Level 2 instruments. See Note 12, 13, Long-term Debt, for additional information.
Commodity Price Hedging Instruments—We periodically enter into commodity forward contracts to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on certain commodities we use for raw material components in our manufacturing process. When actual commodity prices exceed the fixed price provided by these contracts, we receive this difference from the counterparty, and when actual commodity prices are below the contractually provided fixed price, we pay this difference to the counterparty. We consider these to be Level 2 instruments. See Note 3, 4, Derivative Financial Instruments,for additional information.
Note Receivable—In connection with the sale of our Firearms business we received a $12,000 interest-free, five-year pre-payable promissory note due June 2024. Based on the general market conditions and the credit quality of the buyer at the time of the sale, we discounted the Note Receivable at an effective interest rate of 10% and estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow approach. We consider this to be a Level 3 instrument. See Note 8, Receivables, for additional information.
Contingent consideration—The acquisition-related contingent consideration liability represents the estimated fair value of additional future earn-outs payable for acquisitions of businesses that included earn-out clauses. The valuation of the contingent consideration is evaluated on an ongoing basis and is based on management estimates and entity-specific assumptions which are considered Level 3 inputs. On September 1, 2016, we completed the acquisition of privately ownedprivately-owned Logan Outdoor Products, LLC and Peak Trades, LLC ("Camp Chef"), a leading provider of outdoor cooking solutions. Under the terms of the transaction, approximately $10,000 of the purchase price is payableearned over a three-year period from the closing date if certain incremental growth milestones are met and key members of Camp Chef management continue their employment with us through the respective milestone dates. The approximately $10,000 is being expensed over the three-year measurement period and is to be paid in three3 equal installments asafter each milestone is achieved. The growth milestones for the first and second yearyears have been met and therefore, we will paypaid $3,371 during both fiscal 2019 and 2018. The third installment is expected to be paid during the third quarter ended December 30, 2018.of fiscal 2020.
The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying values and estimated fair values were as follows:

3. Leases
We lease certain warehouse and distribution space, manufacturing space, office space, retail locations, equipment and vehicles. All of these leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. These rates are assessed on a quarterly basis. The operating lease assets also include any lease payments made less lease incentives. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. For operating leases, expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments associated with the Company's leases are recognized upon occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed. Tenant improvement allowances were recorded as leasehold improvements with an offsetting adjustment included in the Company’s calculation of its right-of-use asset.
Many leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term for three years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.
The amounts of assets and liabilities related to our operating leases follow.

3.4. Derivative Financial Instruments
We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:
commodity prices affecting the cost of raw materials,
interest rates, and
foreign exchange risks.
In the normal course of business, these risks are managed through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments. See Note 12, 13, Long-term Debt, for additional information on our interest rate swaps.
We entered into various commodity forward contracts during the quarter ended September 30, 2018.fiscal 2020 and 2019. These contracts are used to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on lead we purchase for raw material components in our ammunition manufacturing process and are designated and qualify as effective cash flow hedges. The effectiveness of cash flow hedges is assessed at inception and quarterly thereafter. Hedge accounting would cease if it became probable that the originally-forecastedoriginally forecasted hedged transaction will not occur. The related change in fair value of the ineffective portion of the derivative instrument would be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in earnings.
The fair value of the lead forward contracts is recorded within other assets or liabilities, as appropriate, and the effective portion is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL")income (loss) in our financial statements. The gains or losses on the lead forward contracts are recorded in inventory as the commodities are purchased and in cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. As of September 30, 2018,29, 2019, we had outstanding lead forward contracts on 179.4 million pounds of lead.
There were noThe derivative gains or losses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) related to lead forward contracts during the quartersix months ended September 30, 2018.29, 2019 were immaterial. The liabilityassets related to the lead forward contracts is immaterial and is recorded as part of other current liabilities.

Effective April 1, 2018, we implemented ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the modified retrospective method. The standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
The vast majority of our revenues are from the sale of consumer products in the outdoor recreation and shooting sports markets. Our customers consist primarily of retailers and distributors, as well as government, law enforcement, and military professionals. We also sell some of our products online directly to consumers. Our top customer is Walmart, representing 14% and 15% of our sales for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, respectively. No other single customer contributed 10% or more of our sales for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017.
Typically, our contracts require customers to pay within 30-60 days of product delivery with a discount available to some customers for early payment. In some cases, we offer extended payment terms to customers. However, we do not consider these extended payment terms to be a significant financing component of the contract because the payment terms are less than a year.
We recognize revenue for our products at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment and coincides with our right to payment, the transfer of legal title, and the transfer of the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product.
In limited circumstances, our contract with a customer may have shipping terms that indicate a transfer of control of the products upon their arrival at the destination rather than upon shipment. In those cases, we recognize revenue only when the product reaches the customer destination, which may require us to estimate the timing of transfer of control based on the expected delivery date. In all cases, however, we consider our costs related to shipping and handling to be a cost of fulfilling the contract with the customer.
The total amount of revenue we recognize for the sale of our products reflects various sales adjustments for discounts, returns, refunds, allowances, rebates, and other customer incentives. These sales adjustments can vary based on market
conditions, customer preferences, timing of customer payments, volume of products sold, and timing of new product launches. These adjustments require management to make reasonable estimates of the amount we expect to receive from the customer. We estimate sales adjustments by customer or by product category on the basis of our historical experience with similar contracts with customers, adjusted as necessary to reflect current facts and circumstances and our expectations for the future. Sales taxes, firearms and ammunition excise tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Incentives in the form of cash paid to the customer (or a reduction of a customer cash payment to us) typically are recognized as a reduction of sales unless the incentive is for a distinct benefit that we receive from the customer (e.g., advertising or marketing).
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data unless otherwise indicated)
We provide consumer warranties against manufacturing defects on certain products within the Shooting Sports and Outdoor Products segments. Our warranty periods typically range from one year to the lifetime of the product. The costs of such product warranties are recognized upon delivery of the product at the time the sale is recorded and are estimated based on our past experience.
We pay commissions to some of our employees based on agreed-upon sales targets. We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred because our sales contracts with commissions are a year or less.
We did not recognize any revenue in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous reporting periods.
5.6. Earnings Per Share
The computation of earnings per share ("EPS") includes Basic EPS computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares. Common equivalent shares represent the effect of stock-based awards during each period presented, which, if exercised or earned, would have a dilutive effect on EPS.
In computing EPS for the three and six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, and October 1, 2017, earnings, as reported for each respective period, is divided by the number of shares below:

(1) Due to the loss from continuing operations in the quarterthree and six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, and October 1, 2017, there are no common shares added to calculate dilutive EPS for that quarter because the effect would be antidilutive.
7. Divestitures and Held for Sale
6. Divestitures
On July 5, 2019, Vista Outdoor Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, Vista Outdoor Operations LLC, sold our Firearms business, which was part of our Shooting Sports segment and comprised our Firearms reporting unit, for a total purchase price of $170,000. We received cash proceeds net of transactions costs of $154,123 and $12,000 in the form of a sellers note due on July 5, 2024.

The loss of a key customer for our stand up paddle boards business during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 resulted in a reduction of the projected cash flows for the stand up paddle boards business. Given the associated decrease in projected cash flows for the period, we determined that a triggering event had occurred. This analysis resulted in a $23,411 impairment charge related to customer relationship intangibles associated with the Jimmy Styks acquisition. The remeasurement of intangible assets is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment as described in Note 2 due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information.
The amortizable assets in the table above are being amortized using a straight-line method over a weighted average remaining period of approximately 12.3 years. The amount of amortizing intangible assets for the Outdoor Products segment is presented net of a $23,411 impairment charge recorded in fiscal 2019 and a $61,054 impairment charge recorded in fiscal 2017. The amount of non-amortizing tradename intangible assets in the Outdoor Products segment is presented net of $8,920 and $34,230 of impairment losses recorded in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively; and, the amount of non-amortizing tradename intangible assets in the Shooting Sports segment is presented net of $11,200 of impairment losses recorded in fiscal 2015. Amortization expense for the quarterthree months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was $4,685 and October 1, 2017 was $6,778, and $9,143, respectively, and for the six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was $9,782 and October 1, 2017 was $13,620, and $18,253, respectively.
As of September 30, 2018,29, 2019, we expect amortization expense related to these assets to be as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data unless otherwise indicated)
Credit AgreementAgreements—On April 1, 2016,In fiscal 2019, we entered into anrefinanced our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated April 1, 2016, by entering into the New Credit Facilities, which provide for (a) a $450,000 senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement"“ABL Revolving Credit Facility”), which replaced our 2014 Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was comprised of $20,000 in first-in, last-out (“FILO”) revolving credit commitments and $430,000 in non-FILO revolving credit commitments, (b) a $109,343 senior secured asset-based term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and (c) the $40,000 Junior Term A Loan of $640,000 and a $400,000Loan. The amount available under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility bothis the lesser of whichthe total commitment of $450,000 or a borrowing base based on percentages of eligible receivables, inventory, and cash, minus certain reserves. As of September 29, 2019, based on the borrowing base less outstanding borrowings of $215,000 and outstanding letters of credit of $26,144, the amount available to us under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility was $134,273.
The New Credit Facilities each mature on November 19, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to a customary springing maturity in respect of the 5.875% Notes due 2023. The Term Loan was subject to quarterly principal repayments of $4,834 on the first business day of each January, April, July, and October, with the remaining balance due on the Maturity Date. During the three months ended September 29, 2019, we used proceeds from the sale of our Firearms business to pay off the balance of the Term Loan, and have no future required principal payments. In addition, during the three months ended September 29, 2019, we paid down the principal balance of the Junior Term Loan by $20,000.
The FILO commitments under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are subject to reductions of $1,667 on the first business day of each fiscal quarter beginning on April 1, 2021.2019. The balance of the FILO revolving credit commitment as of September 29, 2019 was $16,666. Any outstanding revolving loans under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility will be payable in full on the Maturity Date. During the sixthree months ended September 30, 2018,29, 2019, we prepaid $168,000used proceeds from the sale of our Firearms business to reduce our ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, in the case of (a) non-FILO revolving credit loans, either the sum of a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% or the sum of a LIBO rate plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, and (b) FILO revolving credit loans, a rate that is 1.00% higher than the rate paid on the non-FILO revolving credit loans. All such rates vary based on our Average Excess Availability under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 29, 2019, the margin under the (1) ABL Revolving Credit Facility was, in the case of (a) non-FILO revolving credit loans, 1.25% for base rate loans and 2.25% for LIBO rate loans and (b) FILO revolving credit loans, 2.25% for
base rate loans and 3.25% for LIBO rate loans, (2) Term Loan was 2.75% for base rate loans and 3.75% for LIBO rate loans, and (3) Junior Term Loan was 8.00% for base rate loans and 9.00% for LIBO rate loans. The weighted average interest rate for our borrowings under the New Credit Facilities as of September 29, 2019 was 5.03%, excluding the impact of the Term A Loan. Due to these prepayments, weinterest rate swaps that are no longer required to make quarterly principal payments. discussed below. We pay a commitment fee on the unused commitments under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility of 0.25% per annum.
Substantially all domestic tangible and intangible assets of Vista Outdoor and our domestic subsidiaries, as well as the tangible and intangible assets of Advanced Arrow S. de R.L. de C.V. and Hydrosport, S. de R.L. de C.V., are pledged as collateral under the New Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either the sum of a base rate plus a specified margin or the sum of a Eurodollar rate plus a specified margin. Each margin is based on our consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and based on the ratio in effect as of September 30, 2018, the base rate margin was 3.00% and the Eurodollar margin was 4.00%. The weighted average interest rate for our borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2018 was 6.24%, excluding the impact of the interest rate swaps that are discussed below. We pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility based on our consolidated leverage ratio, and based on the current ratio, this fee is 0.50%.Facilities.
During fiscal 2018, we conducted a review of our outstanding debt instruments and initiated discussions with our banks regarding refinancing our Credit Agreement with asset-based revolving and term loan agreements. We believe that this change could provide us with additional flexibility to operate efficiently in a challenging market environment. Subject to debt market conditions, we anticipate finalizing the refinancing before the end of our third fiscal quarter. In order to allow us sufficient time to execute the refinancing, we received from our lenders a waiver of our Consolidated Leverage Ratio requirement for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and, in May 2018, we executed an amendment to the Credit Agreement to amend, among other things, certain financial covenants during our fiscal 2019 (the "May 2018 Amendment"). The May 2018 Amendment provides for the following maximum ratios as defined in the Credit Agreement:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Maximum leverage ratios per the Credit Agreement |
| Q1 FY19 | | Q2 FY19 | | Q3 FY19 | | Q4 FY19 |
Consolidated Leverage Ratio | 7.25 |
| | 8.25 |
| | 8.00 |
| | 6.75 |
|
Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio | 5.00 |
| | 5.50 |
| | 5.25 |
| | 4.50 |
|
The May 2018 Amendment also provides that the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) must be greater than 2.00 to 1.00 through the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018, and 2.50 to 1.00 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. In addition, the May 2018 Amendment reduced the Revolving Credit Facility from $400,000 to $200,000, amended the borrowing rates under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term A Loan and the fee for unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, all of which vary depending on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, and further restricts our ability to enter into certain transactions. Debt issuance costs related to the May 2018 Amendment of approximately $2,800 will be amortized over the term of the amendment. In connection with the reduction in our revolving credit facility and the prepaymentsrepayment of the Term ALoan and the Junior Term Loan, unamortized debt issuance costs of $3,203$2,916 were written off during the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2018 and were29, 2019. This expense is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The remaining debt issuance costs of approximately $8,000$6,900 are being amortized over the term of the New Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2018, we had no borrowings against our $200,000 Revolving Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of $22,692, which reduced amounts available on the Revolving Credit Facility to $177,308.Facilities.
5.875% Notes—In fiscal 2016, we issued $350,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes (the "5.875% Notes") that mature on October 1, 2023. These notes are unsecured and senior obligations. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. We have the right to redeem some or all of these notes from time to time on or after October 1, 2018, at specified redemption prices. Debt issuance costs of approximately $4,300 are being amortized to interest expense over 8eight years, the term of the notes.
The Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the 5.875% Notes contain cross-default provisions so that non-compliance with the covenants within one debt agreement could also cause a default under the other debt agreement. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with the covenants of both debt agreements. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to comply with such financial covenants in the future, or complete a refinancing of our Credit Agreement mentioned above, because of various risks and uncertainties some of which may be beyond our control.

Interest rate swaps—During the quarter ended July 2, 2017,fiscal 2018, we entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge our forecasted interest payments on our outstanding variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 2018,29, 2019, we had the following cash flow hedge interest rate swapsswap in place: |

Covenants
New Credit Facilities—Our New Credit Facilities impose restrictions on us, including limitations on our ability to pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase Vista Outdoor stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, make investments, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets. In addition, the New Credit Facilities contain financial covenants requiring us to (a) maintain Excess Availability under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility of $45,000 at all times before all amounts owing under the Term Loan and the Junior Term Loan have been paid in full, (b) maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ("FCCR"), as defined below, of not less than 1.15:1.00 for any fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2019 until the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the date the Term Loan and the Junior Term Loan have been paid in full, and (c) maintain a FCCR of not less than 1.00:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending after the Term Loan and the Junior Term Loan have been paid in full if Excess Availability falls below certain levels. If we do not comply with the covenants in any of the New Credit Facilities, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under each of the New Credit Facilities.
The FCCR is Covenant EBITDA (which includes adjustments for items such as non-recurring or extraordinary items, non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation, and intangible asset impairment charges, as well as adjustments for acquired or divested business units on a pro forma basis) less capital expenditures (subject to certain adjustments) for the past four fiscal quarters, divided by fixed charges (which includes debt principal and interest payments made since October 28, 2018, annualized; plus income tax payments and restricted payments over the past four fiscal quarters). As of September 29, 2019, our FCCR was 2.03.
5.875% Notes—The indenture governing the 5.875% Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur or permit to exist certain liens, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, consolidate, amalgamate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt and make loans and investments.
The New Credit Facilities and the indenture governing the 5.875% Notes contain cross-default provisions so that noncompliance with the covenants within one debt agreement could also cause a default under the other debt agreements. As of September 29, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants of all of the debt agreements. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to comply with such financial covenants in the future because of various risks and uncertainties some of which may be beyond our control. Any failure to comply with the restrictions in the New Credit Facilities may prevent us from drawing under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and may result in an event of default under the New Credit Facilities, which default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related indebtedness and the indebtedness under our 5.875% Notes and proceed against the collateral that secures the indebtedness. We may not have sufficient liquidity to repay the indebtedness in such circumstances.
Cash paid for interest on debt—Cash paid for interest on debt, including commitment fees and prepayment premium fees, for the quartersthree months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 totaled $4,378 and October 1, 2017 totaled $7,465, and $6,691, respectively. Cash paid for interest on debt, including commitment fees, for the six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 totaled $20,032 and October 1, 2017 totaled $14,538, and $22,888, respectively.
13.14. Employee Benefit Plans
During the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2018,29, 2019, we recognized an aggregate net benefit for employee defined benefit plans of $186$101 compared to a net expense of $5,859$186 during the quarterthree months ended October 1, 2017.September 30, 2018. The decrease in income was primarily due to the pension curtailment gain recognized in the quarter ended July 2, 2017, as discussed below.expected return on plan assets.
For
During the six months ended September 30, 2018,29, 2019, we recognized an aggregate net benefit for employee defined benefit plans of $370$204 compared to a net expense of $1,507$370 during the six months ended October 1, 2017. The decrease in expense was primarily due to the pension curtailment gain recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, as discussed below and lower service costs as a result of the curtailment, offset by the additional expense during the quarter ended October 1, 2017 as a result of benefits paid to retiring executives.
Employer contributions and distributions—During the six months ended September 30, 2018, there were no2018. The decrease in income was primarily due to expected return on plan assets.
Employer contributions and distributions—We made required contributions to the pension trust during the three and six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 of $1,200 and $0, respectively. For those same periods, we made no0 contributions to our other postretirement benefit plans, and nowe made 0 distributions to retirees under the non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan. During the six months ended October 1, 2017, we contributed $5,600 directly to the pension trust, made no contributions to our other postretirement benefit plans, and made no distributions to retirees under the non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan.
During the remainder of fiscal 2019,2020, we do not expect to make additional contributions to the pension trust of $2,400. There are no expected contributions to our other postretirement benefit plans, or directly to retirees under our non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans.
Pension curtailment—In June 2017, we announced changes to our qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans. The benefits under the affected plans are determined by a cash balance formula that provides participating employees with an annual “pay credit” as a percentage of their eligible pay based on their age and eligible service. The curtailment was
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data unless otherwise indicated)
effective July 31, 2017, with employees receiving a pro-rated pay credit for 2017 and no future pay credits beginning in 2018. However, a participating employee’s benefit will continue to grow based on annual interest credits applied to the employee’s cash balance account until commencement of the employee’s benefit. As a result of the changes, we recognized a one-time gain of $5,783 during the quarter ended July 2, 2017.
14.15. Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes includes federal, foreign, and state income taxes. Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on the year-to-date effective tax rate for both the current year and on estimated effective annual income tax rate for the prior year.
The income tax provisions for the quartersthree months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 represent effective tax rates of 19.8%(8.1)% and 17.9%19.8%, respectively. The increasedecrease in the rate from the prior year quarter is primarily caused by increased valuation allowance due to the result of our recognition of a nondeductible goodwill impairment charge inoperating loss incurred during the prior year quarter.current quarter and interest expense on uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the quarterthree months ended September 29, 2019 was lower than the statutory rate primarily because of the increased valuation allowance and interest expense on uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was lower than the statutory rate primarily because of the operating loss in the quarter, which caused the unfavorable tax adjustments to decrease the rate. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended October 1, 2017 was lower than the statutory rate, primarily because of the nondeductible goodwill impairment in that quarter.
The income tax provisions for the six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 represent effective tax rates of 9.4%(6.1)% and 13.1%9.4%, respectively. The decrease in the rate from the prior year period is primarily caused by increased valuation allowance due to the result of the effects of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Legislation")operating loss incurred in the current period and our recognitioninterest expense on uncertain tax positions offset by the larger prior period impairment of nondeductible impairment charges inheld-for-sale assets. The effective tax rate for the currentsix months ended September 29, 2019 was lower than the statutory rate primarily because of the increased valuation allowance and prior periods.interest expense on uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2018 was lower than the statutory rate primarily because of the loss in the currentprior period, which caused unfavorable tax adjustments to decrease the rate. The effective tax rate for the six months ended October 1, 2017 was lower than the statutory rate primarily because of the impact of the nondeductible goodwill impairment in that period.
On December 22, 2017, Tax Legislation was enacted in the United States. The Tax Legislation significantly revises the corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates, limiting various deductions, repealing the domestic manufacturing deduction, implementing a territorial tax system, and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
We estimate the impact of the Tax Legislation, based on currently available information and interpretations of the law, to be a benefit to us of approximately $49 million, the majority of which was included in our prior period tax benefit. The majority of the tax benefit was due to remeasurement of the U.S. deferred tax liabilities at lower enacted corporate tax rates, which did not have a cash impact on the prior period. The actual impact of the Tax Legislation may differ from this estimate, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take as a result of the Tax Legislation.
On February 9, 2015, we entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with Orbital ATK that governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Vista Outdoor and Orbital ATK following the distribution of all of the shares of our common stock on a pro rata basis to the holders of Alliant Techsystems Inc. common stock (the “Spin-Off”) with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other tax sharing regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, other tax matters and related tax returns. We have joint and several liability with Orbital ATK to the IRS for the consolidated U.S. federal income taxes of the Orbital ATK consolidated group relating to the taxable periods in which we were part of that group. However, the Tax Matters Agreement specifies the portion, if any, of this tax liability for which we bear responsibility, and Orbital ATK agrees to indemnify us against any amounts for which we are not responsible. The Tax Matters Agreement also provides special rules for allocating tax liabilities in the event that the Spin-Off is determined not to be tax-free. Though valid between the parties, the Tax Matters Agreement is not binding on the IRS.
The allocation of tax liabilities for the period from April 1, 2014 through the date of the Spin-Off was settled on June 15, 2018. Orbital ATK paid Vista Outdoor $13,047 to settle this matter, which was reflected as an adjustment to the distribution from Vista Outdoor to Orbital ATK at the time of the Spin-Off.
Prior to the Spin-Off, Orbital ATK or one of its subsidiaries filed income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various U.S. state jurisdictions that included Vista Outdoor. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries filed income tax returns in foreign jurisdictions. Since the Spin-Off, we file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, foreign and various U.S. state jurisdictions.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data unless otherwise indicated)
With a few exceptions, Orbital ATK and its subsidiaries and Vista are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities prior to 2011.2012. The IRS has completed the audits of Orbital ATK through fiscal 2014 and is currently auditing Orbital ATK's tax return for fiscal 2015. The IRS has also completed the audit of our tax return for the period that began after the Spin-Off (February 9, 2015) and ended on March 31, 2015. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues relating to our portion of these returns have been made for all remaining open years in all jurisdictions.
Income taxes paid, net of refunds, totaled $3,026$(139) and $2,417$3,026 for the six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, and October 1, 2017, respectively.
Although the timing and outcome of income tax audit settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that a $4,575$8,922 reduction of the uncertain tax benefits will occur in the next 12 months. The settlement of these unrecognized tax benefits could result in earnings from $0 to $3,884.$7,816.
15.16. Contingencies
Litigation—From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business. We do not consider any of such proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
Environmental liabilities—Our operations and ownership or use of real property are subject to a number of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, as well as applicable foreign laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of hazardous materials, remediation of contaminated sites, and restoration of damage to the environment. We are obligated to conduct investigation and/or remediation activities at certain sites that we own or operate or formerly owned or operated.
WeCertain of our former subsidiaries have been identified as a potentially responsible partyparties (“PRP”), along with other parties, in regulatory agency actions associated with hazardous waste sites. As a PRP, wethose former subsidiaries may be required to pay a share of the costs of the investigation and clean-up of these sites. In that event, we would be obligated to indemnify those subsidiaries for those costs. While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of the ultimate environmental liabilities, based on currently available information, we have concluded that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. We have recorded a liability for environmental remediation of $736$712 and $731$729 as of September 30, 201829, 2019 and March 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
We could incur substantial additional costs, including cleanup costs, resource restoration, fines, and penalties or third-party property damage or personal injury claims, as a result of violations or liabilities under environmental laws or non-compliance with environmental permits. While environmental laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows in the past, and we have environmental management programs in place to mitigate these risks, it is difficult to predict whether they will have a material impact in the future.

Outlook
Outdoor Recreation Industry
The outdoor recreation and accessories industry currently represents a large and growing focus areaapproximately 50% of our business. During the past and current fiscal years, we have seen a challenging retail environment as evidenced by recent bankruptcies and the consolidation of certain of our customers. This challenging retail environment has been driven by a shift in consumer preferences to online platforms. We believe the fragmented naturesales. Examples of the outdoor recreation industry, combined with retailsports and consumer overlap with our existing businesses, present attractive growth opportunities. We hold a strong competitive positionactivities we target include archery, camping, cycling, golf, hiking, hunting, snow skiing, target shooting, and wildlife watching. Our consumers often participate in the marketplace, and we intend to further differentiate our brands through focused R&D and marketing investments including increased usemore than one of social media and revamping our brand websites as we strive to become our customers’ brand of choice in their respective outdoor recreationthese activities. Growing market share will continue to be a focus as we execute our strategy of market segmentation by brand and channel. We anticipate introducing new products to accomplish this goal. We are continuing to expand our e-commerce presence to capitalize on the ongoing shift by consumers to online shopping and are leveraging the experience from our acquisitions to drive growth across business-to-business, dot com, dropship, and direct-to-consumer channels.
Shooting Sports Industry
Shooting sports related products currently represent approximately half50% of our sales. We design, develop, manufacture,Examples of the shooting sports activities we target include target shooting, hunting, as well as ammunition for local law enforcement, the U.S. government and source ammunition, long guns and related equipment products. Among these categories, we derive the largest portion of our sales from ammunition, which is a consumable, repeat purchase product. During late fiscal 2015 and continuing into fiscal 2016, firearms and ammunition sales experienced an increase as more individuals entered the market and certain public and political events provided focus on the industry. During the later months of fiscal 2017 and continuing into fiscal 2019, we believe the market softened primarily due to the current political environment.international markets. The shooting sports industry historically has been a cyclical business with previous market declines lasting 12–24 months. Theand can be impacted by the current political climate, the timing of national elections, and other market factors may cause the current market downturn to last longer than prior cycles. In addition, commodity prices have risen over recent years increasing input costs of our products. Given these market conditions, we are taking actions to work with vendors to evaluate our cost structure. We believe we are well positioned to succeed in a difficult shooting sports market, given our scale and global operating platform, which we believe is difficult to replicate in the highly regulated and capital-intensive ammunition manufacturing sector.factors.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2018, except for the following:
The Company adopted the new accounting standard on revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which became effective on April 1, 2018. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 amends existing guidance to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. ASU 2017-12 also expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The standard allows for early adoption. As of September
30, 2018, we elected to early adopt this standard, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We manage our business to maximize operating cash flows as the primary source of liquidity. In addition to cash on hand and cash generated by operations, sources of liquidity include a committed credit facilityfacilities and access to the public debt and equity markets. We use our cash primarily to fund investments in our existing businesses and for debt repayment,payments, acquisitions, and other activities.

LiquidityCapital Resources
In addition to our normal operating cash requirements, our principal future cash requirements will be to fund capital expenditures, debt repayments, employee benefit obligations any share repurchases, and any strategic acquisitions. Our short-term cash requirements for operations are expected to consist mainly of capital expenditures to maintain production facilities and working capital requirements. Our debt service requirements over the next two years consist of required interest payments due under the New Credit AgreementFacilities and theour 5.875% Notes, as discussed further below.
Our business experiences a certain level of seasonality, which impacts our cash flow. Due to this seasonality, we expect to use cash during the first half of our fiscal year and generate cash during the second half of the year. Based on our current financial condition, management believes that our cash position, combined with anticipated generation of cash flows and the availability of funding, if needed, under our ABL Revolving Credit Agreement,Facility, access to debt and equity markets, as well as potential future sources of funding including additional bank financing, will be adequate to fund future growth as well asand to service our currently anticipated long-term debt and pension obligations and make capital expenditures over the next 12 months.
We do not expect that our access to liquidity sources will be materially impacted in the near future. There can be no assurance, however, that the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, will not be materially impacted by capital market conditions or the company'sour financial condition and performance.
The allocation of tax liabilities for the period from April 1, 2014 through the date of the Spin-Off as required by the Tax Matters Agreement with Orbital ATK, as discussed further in Note 14, 15, Income Taxes, was settled on June 15, 2018.

During fiscal 2018,2019, we conductedrefinanced our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated April 1, 2016 by entering into new credit facilities (collectively, the “New Credit Facilities”) consisting of (a) a review$450,000 senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”), comprised of $20,000 in first-in, last-out (“FILO”) revolving credit commitments and $430,000 in non-FILO revolving credit commitments, (b) a $109,343 senior secured asset-based term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and (c) a $40,000 junior secured term loan facility (the “Junior Term Loan”). The FILO commitments under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are subject to reductions of $1,667 on the first business day of each fiscal quarter beginning on April 1, 2019. The balance of the FILO revolving credit commitment as of September 29, 2019 was $16,666.
During the three months ended September 29, 2019, we used proceeds from the sale of our outstanding debt instruments and initiated discussions with our banks regarding refinancing our Credit Agreement with asset-based revolving and term loan agreements. We believe that this change could provide us with additional flexibilityFirearms business to operate efficiently in a challenging market environment. Subject to debt market conditions, we anticipate finalizingpay off the refinancing before the endbalance of our third fiscal quarter.Term Loan and to reduce our ABL Revolving Credit Facility and paid down the principal balance of our Junior Term Loan by $20,000. The remaining principal balance on the Junior Term Loan was fully paid subsequent to the quarter ended September 29, 2019 using cash generated from operations and advances from our ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
The payoff of Term Loan and the Junior Term Loan in October 2019 reduced our interest rate on the ABL revolving Credit Facility. Subsequent to when the Term Loan and the Junior Term loan were paid in full, borrowings under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, in the case of (a) non-FILO revolving credit loans, either the sum of a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% or the sum of a LIBO rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, and (b) FILO revolving credit loans, a rate that is 1.00% higher than the rate paid on the non-FILO revolving credit loans. All such rates vary based on our Average Excess Availability under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility.

In addition, the Credit Agreement limits our ability to enter into sale-and-leaseback transactions. The Credit Agreement does not allow us to make "restricted payments" (as defined in the Credit Agreement), including payments for future share repurchases and dividends, when our consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 4.00 to 1.00. When such ratio is 4.00 to 1.00 or less, the Credit Agreement allows us to make unlimited "restricted payments" as long as we maintain a certain amountdispose of liquidity and maintain certain debt limits. When those requirements are not met, the limit is equal to $150,000 plus proceeds of any equity issuances plus 50% of net income since April 1, 2017.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that require us to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and not to exceed certain consolidated total leverage ratio and consolidated senior secured leverage ratio (all as defined in the Credit Agreement) thresholds. To allow sufficient time to execute the refinancing discussedassets. As noted above, we executed an amendmentsubsequent to the Credit Agreementquarter ended September 29, 2019 the Junior Term Loan was paid in May 2018 to amend, among other things, certainfull which triggered the financial covenants during our fiscal 2019.

5.875% Notes—The indenture governing the 5.875% Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur or permit to exist certain liens, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, consolidate, amalgamate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt and make loans and investments. A failure to comply with the covenants in the indenture could result in an event of default, which could allow the holders of the 5.875% Notes to accelerate the 5.875% Notes. We may not have sufficient liquidity to repay the 5.875% Notes in such circumstances.
The 2018 Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the 5.875% Notes contain cross-default provisions so that non-compliance with the covenants within one debt agreement could also cause a default under other the other debt agreement.agreements as well.

We may not have sufficient liquidity to repay the indebtedness in such circumstances.financial covenants.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The Company leases certain warehouse, distribution and office facilities, vehicles and office equipment under operating leases. The amounts presented in this line item represent commitments for minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases. As of September 29, 2019, current and long-term operating lease liabilities of $11,190 and $74,051, respectively, were recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For further discussion, see Note 3, Leases, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Other than the additionalchanges to debt and lease obligations noted previously,above, there have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations and commitments or off-balance sheet arrangements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2018.2019.
Contingencies
Litigation—From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business. We do not consider any of such proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
Environmental Liabilities—Our operations and ownership or use of real property are subject to a number of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, as well as applicable foreign laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of hazardous materials, remediation of contaminated sites, and restoration of damage to the environment. We are obligated to conduct investigation and/or remediation activities at certain sites that we own or operate or formerly owned or operated.
We alsoCertain of our former subsidiaries have been identified as a PRP,potentially responsible parties (“PRP”), along with other parties, in regulatory agency actions associated with hazardous waste sites. As a PRP, wethose former subsidiaries may be required to pay a share of the costs of the investigation and clean-up of these sites. In that event, we would be obligated to indemnify those subsidiaries for those costs. While
uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of the ultimate environmental liabilities, based on currently available information, we have concluded that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
We could incur substantial additional costs, including cleanup costs, resource restoration, fines, and penalties or third-party property damage or personal injury claims, as a result of violations or liabilities under environmental laws or non-compliance with environmental permits. While environmental laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows in the past, and we have environmental management programs in place to mitigate these risks, it is difficult to predict whether they will have a material impact in the future.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report.
Dependence on Key Customers; Concentration of Credit
The loss of any key customer and our inability to replace revenues provided by a key customer may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Sales to Walmart represented 14%15% and 15%14% of our sales in the six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. As a result of Walmart's announcement on September 3, 2019, we expect reduced ammunition and October 1, 2017, respectively.accessories sales to Walmart in the future. No other single customer contributed 10% or more of our sales in the six months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017.2018.
If a key customer fails to meet payment obligations, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Inflation and Commodity Price Risk
In management’s opinion, inflation has not had a significant impact upon the results of our operations. However, we have been impacted by changes in the prices of raw materials used in production as well as changes in oil and energy costs. In particular, the prices of commodity metals, such as copper, zinc, and lead continue to be volatile. These prices generally impact our Shooting Sports Segment. See Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional information.
We have a strategic sourcing, pricing and pricehedging strategy to mitigate risk from commodity price fluctuation. We will continue to evaluate the need for future price changes in light of these trends, our competitive landscape, and our financial results. If our sourcing and pricing strategy is unable to offset impacts of the commodity price fluctuations, our future results from operations and cash flows would be materially impacted.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate theWe manage these risks from interest rate exposure, we may enterby entering into hedging transactions mainlyincluding interest rate swaps, commodity forward contracts and foreign currency forward contracts through derivative financial instruments that have been authorized pursuant to corporate policies. We may use derivatives to hedge certain interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, and commodity price risks, but do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Additional information regarding thethese financial instruments is containedincluded in Note 2,Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to the auditedunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our objectivestatements in managing exposure to changes in interest rates is to limit the impactItem 1 of such changes on earnings and cash flow.Part I of this report.
We measure market risk related to holdings of financial instruments based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential loss in fair values, cash flows, and earnings based on a hypothetical change (increase and decrease) in interest rates. We used current market rates on the debt portfolio to perform the sensitivity analysis. Certain items such as lease contracts, insurance contracts, and obligations for pension and other postretirement benefits were not included in the analysis.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. To mitigate the risks from interest rate exposure, we may enter into hedging transactions, mainly interest rate swaps. Our objective in managing the exposure to changes in interest rates is to limit the impact of such changes on earnings and cash flow.
Lead used for raw material components in our ammunition manufacturing process in the normal course of our operations is subject to price volatility. Depending on market conditions, we may enter into forward contracts in order to reduce the impact of commodity price fluctuations. Potential increases in our cost of inventory purchased, would be substantially offset by a corresponding increase in the value of related hedging instruments.
We conduct business through our subsidiaries in many different countries, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on the reported results of operations, which are presented in U.S. dollars. Cross-border transactions, both with external parties and intercompany relationships, result in increased exposure to foreign exchange effects. Accordingly, significant changes in currency exchange rates, particularly the Euro, the British pound, the Chinese renminbi (yuan), the Canadian dollar, and the AustralianCanadian dollar, could cause fluctuations in the reported results of our businesses’ operations that could negatively affect our results of operations. To mitigate the risks from foreign currency exposure, we may enter into hedging transactions, mainly foreign currency forward contracts, through derivative financial instruments that have been authorized pursuant to corporate policies.
In addition, sales and expenses of our non-U.S. businesses are also translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes and the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar could result in unfavorable translation effects. There have been no material changes to the market risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2019.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2018,29, 2019, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2018,29, 2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business.
