Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements -During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost 2016-02and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.related standards (collectively ASC 842, Leases). This update requires the service component of the net periodic pension cost to be reported in the same income statement line item as similar compensation costs, while all other pension cost components should be reported separately from the service cost component on the income statement. The adoption of this update resulted in $1.7 of non-compensation related pension benefit in Other items, net in the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and a reclassification of $3.1 of pension benefit out of Selling, general and administrative expense and into Other items, net for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. All non-compensation related pension costs will be recorded in Other items, net going forward.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), which aligns the measurement of inventory under GAAP more closely with International Financial Reporting Standards. Under the new guidance an entity that measures inventory using the first-in, first-out or average cost should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The impact of adoption was immaterial.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-16, Intra-entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This update requires tax expense to be recognized from the sale of intra-entity assets, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs, even though the effects of the transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Under the previous guidance, the tax effects of transfers would have been deferred until the transferred asset was sold or otherwise recovered through use. Upon adoption, any deferred charge previously established upon the intra-company transfer is recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, a deferred charge of $59.2 was removed from Other assets and recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. Any future tax impacts will be recognized as incurred.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This update creates a more practical definition and guidelines to determine whether a set of assets and activities is a business. This simplifies the decision making process of determining whether a purchase constitutes a business combination or an acquisition of assets and the Company will apply this definition for future acquisitions.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This update eliminates the need to assign the fair value of a reporting unit to each of its assets and liabilities when quantifying an impairment charge. The impairment charge is now determined based on the comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. The Company will apply the new guidance when completing its goodwill testing procedures in the current year.

(2) Spin CostsRevenue Recognition


On July 1, 2015, Energizer completed its legal separation from Edgewell Personal Care Company (Edgewell) via a tax free spin-off (the spin-off or spin). The Company, incurred costs associatedthrough its operating subsidiaries, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers, marketers and distributors of household batteries, specialty batteries and lighting products, and automotive appearance, performance, refrigerants and freshener products. We distribute our products to consumers through numerous retail locations worldwide, including mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, food, drug and convenience stores, electronics specialty stores and department stores, hardware and automotive centers, e-commerce and military stores. We sell to our customers through a combination of a direct sales force and exclusive and non-exclusive third-party distributors and wholesalers.

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Sales predominantly contain a single delivery element, or performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. This typically occurs when finished goods are delivered to the customer or when finished goods are picked up by a customer or customer’s carrier, depending on contract terms.

The unaudited pro forma data above includes the following significant adjustments for certain costs in order to present results as if the acquisitions had occurred as of October 1, 2017. The following expenses, which are net of the applicable tax rates, were added to or removed from the net earnings amounts for the respective period:

Acquisition and integration costs (2)—  30.1  
Interest and ticking fees on escrowed debt (3)—  27.5  
Gains on escrowed funds (4)—  (12.0) 
(1) The inventory step up was removed from the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019 pro forma results as the inventory turn would have occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
(2) Acquisition and integration costs incurred to obtain legal approval, investment banking fees and other transaction related expenses that occurred prior to closing of the acquisitions, were removed from the various periods as those costs would have occurred in fiscal 2018 when the transaction is assumed to have occurred.
(3) Interest and ticking fees from the acquisition related debt were accrued over the periods prior to the acquisition occurring. These fees were removed as they would not have been incurred if the acquisition occurred October 1, 2017. The interest from the new capital structure was included in the results and the pre-tax interest expense amounts of $50.0 and $150.0 for the three and nine month periods, respectively, were included in the results above.
(4) The escrowed debt funds earned interest income and had gains on the non-functional currency balances. These gains would not have been realized if the transaction had occurred as of October 1, 2017.

Excluded from the above pro forma results is the write down of assets of business held for sale to fair value less cost to sell of $107.2 recorded by the Auto Care business during the nine months ended June 30, 2019. This loss was recorded as a direct result of the transaction and would not have impacted the combined Company results.

(6) Income Taxes 


The three month effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was 49.2%25.9% as compared to 28.7%30.3% for the prior year comparative period. On

The current year rate includes the unfavorable impact of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act of $5.1, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and provides, among other things, increased interest deduction limitations to companies which can decrease overall cash taxes paid.

The prior year rate includes $0.7 for the one-time impact of the December 22, 2017 H.R. 1, formally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) was enacted into law. The Act provides for numerous significant(2017 tax law changesreform) and modifications with varying effective dates,the impact of disallowed transaction costs resulting from the acquisitions, which include reducing the corporate incomedrove a higher tax rate from 35% to 21%, creating a territorial tax system (with a mandatory transition taxin the prior year.

(7) Share-Based Payments

The Board of Directors adopted the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the 2015 Plan) on previously deferred foreign earnings) and allowing for immediate capital expensing of certain qualified property. As a fiscal year end taxpayer, certain provisionsJuly 1, 2015, upon completion of the ActCompany's spin-off from its predecessor. Under the terms of the 2015 Plan, stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock equivalents, stock appreciation rights and performance-based stock awards may be granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company. The 2015 Plan authorized a maximum number of 10 million common shares to be awarded.

On January 27, 2020, the Company's shareholders approved the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (Omnibus Plan). The Omnibus Plan replaces and supersedes the 2015 Plan. No new awards will beginbe issued under the 2015 Plan, though the terms of the 2015 Plan will continue to impact us in our fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2017, whilegovern all awards granted under that plan.

The Omnibus Plan authorizes 6.5 million shares to be awarded, as well as the 0.3 million shares that were still available for grant under the 2015 Plan. Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units (time-based or performance-based), other provisions will impact us beginning in fiscal year 2019. The corporate tax rate reduction is effectivestock awards and cash-based awards may be granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company. For purposes of determining the number of shares available for Energizer as of January 1, 2018future issuance under the Plan, awards other than stock options and accordingly,stock appreciation rights will reduce our current fiscal year federal statutory rate tothe shares available for future issuance by two for every one share equivalent awarded. Stock options and stock appreciation rights reduce the shares available for future issuance on a blended rate of approximately 24.5% for fiscal year 2018.one-for-one basis.

The changes included in the Act are broad and complex. The final transition impacts of the Act may differ from our current estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Act, any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the transition impacts, including impacts from changes to current year earnings estimates and foreign exchange rates of foreign subsidiaries. The Securities Exchange Commission has issued rules that would allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts.

As a result of the reduction of the Federal corporate income tax rate, we have remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities at the rate which they are expected to reverse in the future. We are still analyzing certain aspects of the Act, including the future impacts of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provision, and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the remeasurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. The provisional amount recorded related to the remeasurement of our deferred tax balance was tax expense of approximately $1.
The mandatory transition tax is based on our total post-1986 earnings and profits (E&P) that we previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. We recorded a provisional amount for our mandatory transition tax liability, resulting in an increase in income tax expense of approximately $30. We have not yet completed our calculation of the total


post-1986 E&P for these foreign subsidiaries. Further, the mandatory transition tax is based in part on the amount of those earnings held in cash and other specified assets. This amount may change when we finalize the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferred from U.S federal taxation and finalize the amounts held in cash or other specified assets. No additional income taxes have been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the mandatory transition tax, or any additional outside basis difference inherent in these entities, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations.

(10) Leases

The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the contract by segmentdetermining if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Energizer's portfolio of leases contains certain real estate, equipment, vehicles and office equipment leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are presented below:not recorded on the balance sheet. Additionally, the Company's leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company does not account for lease components separately from non-lease components. The discount rate used to calculate present value for both operating and financing leases is Energizer's incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date, or if available, the rate implicit in the lease. The incremental borrowing rate used is determined based on fully secured borrowings at the time of adoption, or going forward, at the date of lease commencement. Many of these agreements contain options to renew or terminate the lease. For calculating lease liabilities, the Company includes these options within the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will execute such options. Some of the leases include variable payments, which primarily are tied to asset usage or sales rather than an index or rate. As such, these variable payments are not included in the calculation of the Company's lease assets and liabilities.

(15) Financial Instruments and Risk Management


The market risk inherent in the Company's operations creates potential earnings volatility arising from changes in currency rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company's policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading or speculative purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.


Concentration of Credit Risk—The counterparties to derivative contracts consist of a number of major financial institutions and are generally institutions with which the Company maintains lines of credit. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts through brokers nor does it trade derivative contracts on any other exchange or over-the-counter markets. Risk of currency positions and mark-to-market valuation of positions are strictly monitored.monitored at all times.


The Company continually monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside rating agencies. While nonperformance by these counterparties exposes Energizer to potential credit losses, such losses are not anticipated.


In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to commodity price and foreign currency risks. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2017,2019, as well as the Company's objectives and strategies for holding these derivative instruments.


Commodity Price RiskEnergizerThe Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. TheAt times, the Company has used, and may in the future use,uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities. At December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, there were no open derivative or hedging instruments for future purchases of raw materials or commodities.


Foreign Currency Risk—A significant portion of Energizer’s product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, a strengthening inof currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve margins. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations.


Additionally, Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional
currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in a transaction gain or loss

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges - Hedging RelationshipsThe Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of the forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2017,2019, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $4.2$1.2 and $5.8,pre-tax gain of $4.5, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 levels, over the next 12 months, $4.1$1.0 of the pre-tax loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be recognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2019.2021. There were 64 open foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, with a total notional value of approximately $134.$141.


The Company began entering into hedging contracts on zinc purchases in March 2019. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturities for these hedges extend into 2021. There were 19 open contracts at June 30, 2020, with a total notional value of approximately $51. The pre-tax loss recognized on the zinc contracts was $3.5 and $1.0 at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.

In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (2017 Interest rate swap) with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%. In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap (2018 Interest rate swap) with an effective date of October 1, 2018, with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt of $400.0 at an interest rate of 2.47%. Beginning April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreases $50.0 each quarter until its termination date of December 31, 2020. The notional value of the swap was $150.0 at June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, Energizer recorded an unrealized pre-tax net loss of $8.9 and $4.7, respectively, on these interest rate swap contracts, both of which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships - Energizer enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge existing balance sheet exposures.

Fair Value Hierarchy—Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:


Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.


Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.

Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, as of December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and September 30, 20172019 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents has beenwas determined based on level 1 inputs and cash equivalents are determined based on level 2 inputs, respectively.inputs.


At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company's unfunded deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of investment options that are offered under the plan. The estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts, and interest rate swap and zinc contracts, as described above, is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first, quoted market prices of comparable agreements, or in the absence of quoted market prices, such factors as interest rates, currency exchange rates and remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the exit lease liability was determined based on the discounted cash flows of the remaining lease rentals reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property.


At December 31, 2017 and SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $610.3 and $615.7, respectively$2,722.3 compared to its carrying value of $600.0.$2,680.2, and at September 30, 2019 the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,474.7 compared to its carrying value of $2,408.4. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of fixed rate long-term debt has been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful comparisons to the corresponding historical or future period. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not reflective of the Company's on-going operating performance, such as acquisition and integration costs costsand related to the spin,items, loss on extinguishment of debt, and the one-time impact of the new U.S.Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the December 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 tax legislation.reform). In addition, these measures help investors to seeanalyze year over year comparability when excluding currency fluctuations, acquisition activity as well as other company initiatives that are not on-going. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are an enhancement to assist investors in understanding our business and in performing analysis consistent with financial models developed by research analysts. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted.


We provide the following non-GAAP measures and calculations, as well as the corresponding reconciliation to the closest GAAP measure:


Segment Profit. This amount represents the operations of our three geographictwo reportable segments including allocations for shared support functions. General corporate and other expenses, Global marketing expenses, R&D expenses, amortizationAmortization expense, interestInterest expense, otherOther items, net and charges related to acquisitionAcquisition and integration and the spin-off have all been excluded from segment profit.


Adjusted Earnings Before Income Taxes, Adjusted Net Earnings From Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings From Continuing Operations Per Common Share (EPS). These measures exclude the impact of the costs related to acquisition and integration, the spin-off,loss on extinguishment of debt and the one-time impact of the newCARES Act and the U.S. income tax legislation.legislation from December 2017.


Non-GAAP Tax Rate. This is the tax rate when excluding the pre-tax impact of acquisition and integration and the loss on extinguishment of debt, as well as the related tax impact for these items, calculated utilizing the statutory rate for where the impact was incurred, as well as the one-time impact of the CARES Act and 2017 tax reform.

Organic. This is the non-GAAP financial measurement of the change in revenue, segment profit or other margins that excludes or otherwise adjusts for the impact of acquisitions, change in Argentina Operations and impact of currency from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates as defined below:


Impact of acquisitions. Energizer completed the Auto Care Acquisition on January 28, 2019 and Battery Acquisition on January 2, 2019. These adjustments include the impact of the acquisitions' ongoing operations contributed to each respective income statement caption for the first year's operations directly after the acquisition date. This does not include the impact of acquisition and integration costs associated with any acquisition.
Change in Argentina Operations. The Company is presenting separately all changes in sales and segment profit from our Argentina affiliate due to the designation of the economy as highly inflationary as of July 1, 2018.

Impact of currency. The Company evaluates the operating performance of our Company on a currency neutral basis. The impact of currency is the difference between the value of current year foreign operations at the current period ending USD exchange rate, compared to the value of the current year foreign operations at the prior period ending USD exchange rate.

This document contains both historicalIn March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The COVID-19 health crisis poses significant and forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statementswidespread risks to the Company’s business as well as to the business environment and the markets in which the Company operates.

During these challenging times, the Company is operating with two enduring principles - ensuring the health of our colleagues and business continuity. We are not based on historical facts but instead reflect our expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events, including, without limitation,following the future sales, gross margins, costs, earnings, cash flows, tax rates and performance of Energizer. These statements generally can be identifiedguidelines issued by the useU.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization and have instituted work from home for the majority of forward-looking wordsour office locations. We have also instituted additional measures at our production facilities, including temperature monitoring, enhanced facility cleaning, visual cues to aid in social distancing, and staggered shifts to minimize the number of colleagues on-site at any given time. We track and monitor suspected and confirmed cases of COVID-19, and we encourage colleagues to stay home if they or phrasestheir family members are ill.

This has been evident in the recent increased demand for our battery products in the U.S. across nearly all retail channels. Energizer provides batteries that power medical devices, including thermometers, blood pressure, heart and fall monitors and pulse oximeters, and other products that are critical during the COVID-19 outbreak. Energizer’s batteries also power devices and equipment that keep people safe and working at home, such as water heaters, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, wireless keyboards and mice.

Auto care products are more discretionary by nature, and COVID-19 has negatively impacted our sales of these products and may continue to do so as we expect an overall reduction in travel due to shelter-in-place orders, work and travel restrictions, and other similar words or phrases. These statements are not guarantees of performancemeasures to try to contain the COVID-19 virus. However, we expect consumers to focus on wipes and are inherently subjectcleaning products and during recessions consumers often turn to knownless expensive Do It Yourself versus Do It for Me services.

Net sales were $573.3$658.0 for the firstthird quarter of 2018,2020, an increase of $13.7$10.8 as compared to the prior year quarter driven by the following items:


Organic netNet sales were up 1.1%increased 3.4%, or $22.3, in the firstthird fiscal quarter due to the following items:

Favorable pricing across several markets increased net sales by 3%;

Investments made for our portfolio realignment in the back half of fiscal 2017 benefited our top-line in the first fiscal quarter of 2018 accounting for 0.5% of the organic sales increase; and

Partially offsetting the above increases in organic net sales were retailer merchandising changes in the U.S. that negatively impacted net sales by 1.3%, lapping of storm volume from prior year of 0.6% and the May 2017 divestiture of the non-core promotional sales business acquired with the auto care acquisition that negatively impacted net sales by 0.5%.


Increased distribution, primarily in North America, contributed 2.7% to the organic increase;

Increased year over year replenishment volume, primarily in North America battery sales, contributed 1.4% to the organic increase, which was almost entirely offset by the decrease in organic sales of 1.3% caused by the pandemic impact, primarily in the international developing and distributor markets; and

Favorable pricing added 0.6%.

Our Argentina operations had a favorable impact on Net sales of $0.1.
44



Unfavorable movement in foreign currencies resulted in decreased sales of $11.6, or 1.7%.

Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 were $1,981.8, an increase of $206.3 as compared to the prior year comparative period, driven by the following items:

Organic net sales were up 1.0% due to the following items:

Increased distribution across both of our segments contributed 2.4% to the organic increase;

Pricing actions, slightly offset by channel and product mix in addition to increased trade investment, contributed 0.3% to the organic increase;

A net decline in replenishment offset the organic increase by 0.9%, which was driven by the US price increase taken in the prior year and the impacts of a competitive launch, coupled with lower replenishment volumes associated with hurricane activity in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019. This decline was partially offset by the beneficial net impacts of COVID-19 on battery demand; and

Phasing of holiday activity from the first quarter to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 offset the organic increase by 0.8%.

The positive impact of the acquisitions was $210.6, or 11.9%;

The unfavorable impact due to the change in Argentina operations was $0.4; and

Unfavorable currency impacts were $7.8,$21.5, or 1.3%.


The above sales discussion reflects our view of the impacts of the pandemic on our business based on trends that existed prior to its escalation on a global scale. Overall, we experienced significant disruption in auto care and many of our international markets in the first part of the third quarter, while battery sales in North America experienced a consistently high level of demand throughout the third quarter. As countries and states began to reopen, we did experience recovery in auto care and international sales during the latter part of the third quarter.

Gross margin percentageon a reported basis for the firstthird fiscal quarter of 20182020 was 48.5% and40.0%, compared to 38.1% in the prior year. Excluding $5.5 of integration costs in the current quarter, adjusted gross margin was flat40.8%, compared to 40.0% in the prior year, excluding inventory step up costs of $6.5 and acquisition and integration costs of $5.9 in the prior year. The 80 basis point increase from prior year was driven by realized synergies and favorable material pricing partially offset by operational costs related to COVID-19 of approximately $9, or 140 basis points, and unfavorable foreign currency movements of $9.3, or 70 basis points.

Gross margin percentage on a reported basis for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was 40.4%, compared to 40.3% in the prior year comparative period. Excluding $20.7 of acquisition and integration costs in the current year, adjusted gross margin was 41.4%, compared to 42.8% in the prior year, excluding inventory step up costs of $33.7 and acquisition and integration costs of $10.4 in the prior year. The 140 basis point decrease from prior year was largely driven by the lower margin rate profile of the acquired businesses, as well as unfavorable channel and product mix, foreign currency movements, tariffs and the operational impact of COVID-19 of approximately $10. These decreases were partially offset by improved material pricing and the favorable impact of foreign currency. These items were primarily offset by less favorable overhead absorption versus the prior fiscal quarter and investments made in continuous improvement initiatives.realized synergies.

A&P was $106.9, or 5.4% of net sales, as compared to $34.3,$99.9, or 6.1%5.6% of net sales, in the prior periodyear comparative period. The increase of $7.0 over the prior year is driven by incremental spending of $3.5 on our acquired businesses which was primarily for product and packaging innovation and promotional support for our auto care brands, in support of portfolio initiatives and holiday programs.addition to planned incremental investment in our branded product portfolio.

Excluding acquisition and integration costs, in both years,adjusted SG&A was $93.5, an increase of $9.9 over the prior year due to our current year investments in our continuous improvement initiatives to simplify and streamline our business processes to reduce costs. SG&A, excluding acquisition and integration costs, was 16.3%$106.7, or 16.2% of net sales, as compared to 14.9%$112.5, or 17.4% of net sales, in the prior year.

The absolute dollar increase was due to the incremental SG&A of approximately $26 from the acquired businesses in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019, offset by synergy realization and reduced spending due in part to net COVID-19 impacts, including travel restrictions. The decrease in percentage was driven by synergy realization, primarily due to TSA exits and reduced spending in the back half of the period due in part to COVID-19 impacts and restrictions.

Research and Development (R&D) was $8.4, or 1.3% of net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $9.5, or 1.5% of net sales, in the prior year comparative period.

The prior fiscal quarter income of $1.6 reflects the net impact of interest income, non-compensation related pension benefit and hedging contract gains offset by revaluation losses on nonfunctional currency balance sheet exposures.  

The effective tax rate was 49.2% in the first three months of the current fiscal year as compared to 28.7%$177.3 for the prior year comparative period. Excluding the current year $4.2 loss on extinguishment of debt and the prior year interest expense and ticking fees related to the the Battery Acquisition as well as the issuance fees associated with the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions' new debt issued in January 2019 of $65.6, the current year interest expense increased $33.1 attributed to a higher average debt balance associated with the acquisitions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions


The market risk inherent in the Company's financial instruments’ positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in currency rates, commodity prices and interest rates. The following risk management discussion and the estimated amounts generated from the sensitivity analysis are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming certain adverse market conditions occur. The Company's derivatives are used only for identifiable exposures, and we have not entered into hedges for trading purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.


Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships


A significant share of Energizer's product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations.


55


The Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2017,2019, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $4.2$1.2 and $5.8,unrealized pre-tax gain of $4.5, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges, included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 levels over the next twelve months, $4.1$1.0 of the pre-tax loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020 is expected to be includedrecognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2019.2021.


Derivatives Not Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships


Energizer's foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.


The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures, thus they are not subject to significant market risk. The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the quarterquarters ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and 2019 resulted in incomea loss of $0.3$0.6 and expense$1.3, respectively, and a loss of $1.9$2.2 and $0.2 for the quarternine months ended December 31, 2016June 30, 2020 and was2019, respectively. These losses were recorded in Other items, net on the unaudited Consolidated (Condensed) Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed).Income.


Commodity Price Exposure


The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. TheAt times, the Company has used, and may in the future use,uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain raw materials and commodities. At December 31, 2017, there

The Company began entering into hedging contract on zinc purchases in fiscal 2019. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturity for these hedges extend into 2022. There were nonineteen open derivative or hedging instruments for future purchasescontracts at June 30, 2020, with a total notional value of raw materials or commodities.approximately $51. The pre-tax loss recognized on the zinc contracts was $3.5 at June 30, 2020 and $1.0 at September 30, 2019, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.
 

Interest Rate Exposure


The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, Energizer had variable rate debt outstanding with an originala principal balance of $400.0$855.7 under the refinanced 2018 and 2019 Term Loan.Loans and the Revolving Credit Facility. In March 2017, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%. In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap with an effective date of October 1, 2018, with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt of $400.0 at an interest rate of 2.47%. Beginning April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreases $50.0 each quarter until its termination date of December 31, 2020.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, our weighted average interest rate on variable rate debt, inclusive of the interest rate swap, was 3.42%3.51%.

Argentina Currency Exposure and Hyperinflation

Effective July 1, 2018, the financial statements for our Argentina subsidiary were consolidated under the rules
governing the translation of financial information in a highly inflationary economy. Under U.S. GAAP, an economy is
considered highly inflationary if the cumulative inflation rate for a three year period meets or exceeds 100 percent. The Argentina economy exceeded the three year cumulative inflation rate of 100 percent as of June 2018. If a subsidiary is considered to be in a highly inflationary economy, the financial statements of the subsidiary must be remeasured into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. dollar) and future exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than exclusively in the equity section of the balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. It is difficult to determine what continuing impact the use of highly inflationary accounting for Argentina may have on our consolidated financial statements as such impact is dependent upon movements in the applicable exchange rates between the local currency and the U.S. dollar and the amount of monetary assets and liabilities included in our affiliates' balance sheet.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain a comprehensive set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Energizer's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation performed, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to report material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's reports.


TheyThe Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also determined in their evaluation that there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings


The Company and its affiliates are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. We are a party to legal proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. We review our legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. We establish accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.


Item 1A. Risk Factors


Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017,2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2017,19, 2019, contains a detailed discussion of risk factors that could materially adversely affect our business, our operating results or our financial condition. There have been no material changes

Due to the events that occurred during fiscal 2020 relating to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we filed an additional risk factor that should be considered when reviewing our financial information in addition to the risk factors includedin Item 1A filed on our Annual Report on From 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019. The additional risk factor is presented below:

We must successfully manage the demand, supply, and operational challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and any other disease outbreak, including epidemics, pandemics, or similar widespread public health concerns.
Our operations are impacted by consumer spending levels, impulse purchases, the availability of our products to retail and our ability to manufacture, store and distribute products to our customers and consumers in an effective and efficient manner. The fear of exposure to or actual effects of a disease outbreak, epidemic, pandemic or similar widespread public health concern, such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), has negatively impacted portions of our business and could negatively impact our overall business, financial position and financial results. These impacts caused by fear of exposure or the effects of a widespread public health concern may include, but are not limited to:
Significant reductions, shifts or fluctuations in demand for one or more of our products, which may be caused by, among other things:
a decrease in consumer traffic in brick-and-mortar stores across all our major markets and the resulting negative impact on our net sales to customers in that channel;
the temporary inability of our consumers to purchase our products due to illness, quarantine, other travel restrictions, or financial hardship;
shifts in demand away from one or more of our premium products to lower priced value or private label products and lower demand in our discretionary product categories;
stockpiling or similar “pantry-loading” activity by consumers, which may cause volatility in our quarterly results and, if prolonged, further increase the complexity of our operations planning and financial forecasting and adversely impact our results of operations;
significant reductions in the availability of one or more of our products as a result of retailers, common carriers or other shippers modifying restocking, fulfillment and shipping practices; or
shifts, fluctuations, or cancellation of orders due to the impact on customers’ operations, including the possibility of temporary or permanent closure;

58


Inability to meet our customers’ needs due to disruptions in our manufacturing and supply chain arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential manufacturing and supply chain elements, such as raw materials or other finished product components, transportation, workforce, or other manufacturing and distribution capability. In addition, we may incur higher costs for transportation, workforce and distribution capability in order maintain the surety of supplying product to our customers;

Failure of third parties upon which we rely, including our suppliers, contract manufacturers, distributors, contractors and commercial banks, to meet their obligations to the Company, or significant disruptions in their ability to meet those obligations in a timely manner, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties and may adversely impact our operations, liquidity and financial results;

Significant changes in the political and regulatory landscape in the markets in which we manufacture, sell or distribute our products.  These changes may include, but are not limited to, expanded quarantines, restrictions on international trade, governmental or regulatory actions, closures or other restrictions that limit or suspend our operating and manufacturing capabilities, restrict our employees’ ability to travel or perform necessary business functions, or otherwise prevent our third-party partners or customers from sufficiently staffing operations, including operations necessary for the production, distribution, sale, and support of our products, which could adversely impact our results.

Our management is focused on mitigating COVID-19, which has required and will continue to require, a large investment of time and resources across our enterprise. We expect to expend all necessary efforts to ensure the business continuity of our operations. We have incurred additional costs and may continue to incur additional costs, which may be significant, if we are required to implement additional operational changes in response to this pandemic. We have multiple options to further mitigate the liquidity impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and preserve our financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets, including the deferral or reduction of capital expenditures and reduction or delay of overhead expenses and other expenditures. Such delays could delay our growth or impact business plan. However, it may be that despite our efforts to manage and remedy these impacts to the Company, the ultimate impact may depend on factors beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of any widespread public health concern as well as third-party actions, including governments and our business partners upon which we rely, taken to contain the spread and mitigate the public health effects of such concern.
In addition, we cannot predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our customers, suppliers, vendors and other business partners, and each of their financial conditions; however, any material effect on these parties could adversely impact us. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this “Risk Factors” section as well as in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended September 30, 2017, except for the additionany of the following:

Risks Related to the Acquisition of the Global Battery, Lighting, and Portable Power Business of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (the “Acquisition”)
The pending Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining required regulatory approvals, and may not be consummated, and if not consummated under certain circumstances, we may be subject to monetary or other damages under the acquisition agreement.
On January 16, 2018, we announced that we had entered into a definitive acquisition agreement to acquire the global battery, lighting, and portable power business (the “Business”) of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (“Spectrum”). The consummation of the Acquisition is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things, (i) the absence ofwhich could have a material adverse effect on the Business, (ii) the expiration or terminationus, including risks such as those relating to our high level of required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), (iii) the receipt of certain other antitrust approvals in certain specified foreign jurisdictions (the conditions contained in (ii) and (iii) together, the “Antitrust Conditions”), (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties (generally subjectindebtedness, our need to a customary material adverse effect standard (as described in the acquisition agreement) or other customary materiality qualifications), (v) the absence of governmental restrictions on the consummation of the Acquisition in certain jurisdictions, and (vi) material compliance by the parties with their respective covenants and agreements under the acquisition agreement.
Many of the closing conditions are not withingenerate sufficient cash flows to service our control, and there can be no assurance that the closing conditions for the Acquisition will be satisfied in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay could cause us not to realize some or all of the cost savings, synergies and other benefits that we expect to achieve if the Acquisition were to be successfully completed within its expected time frame. If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived prior to July 15, 2019 (the “Termination Date”), it is possible that the acquisition agreement may be terminated. Further, if the Acquisition has not been consummated by the Termination Date and all conditions precedent to the Company’s obligation to consummate the Acquisition have otherwise been satisfied except for one or more of the Antitrust Conditions, then the Company would be required to pay Spectrum a termination fee of $100 million.




We may be unable to obtain the regulatory clearances required to complete the Acquisition or, in order to do so, we or Spectrum may be required to comply with material restrictions or satisfy material conditions.
The Acquisition is subject to review by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission under the HSR Act, and other regulatory agencies. The closing of the Acquisition is subject to the condition that the applicable waiting period, and any applicable extensions thereof, under the HSR Act have expired or been duly terminated, and that certain other antitrust approvals in specified foreign jurisdictions have been received. We cannot provide any assurance that all required antitrust clearances will be obtained. There can be no assurance as to the cost, scope or impact of the actions that may be required to obtain antitrust approval. In addition, the acquisition agreement provides that we are required to commit to dispositions of assets up to a certain amount in order to obtain regulatory clearance. If we are required to or otherwise decide to take such actions in order to close the Acquisition, it could be detrimental to the combined organization following the consummation of the Acquisition. Furthermore, these actions could have the effect of delaying or preventing completion of the proposed Acquisition or imposing additional costs on or limiting the revenues or cash of the combined organization following the consummation of the Acquisition. However, if certain antitrust clearances are not obtained and the acquisition agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, we could be liable to Spectrum for a termination fee of $100 million.
Even if the parties receive early termination of the statutory waiting period under the HSR Act or the waiting period required expires, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, or other regulatory authorities could take action under the antitrust laws to prevent or rescind the Acquisition, require the divestiture of assets or seek other remedies. Additionally, state attorneys general could seek to block or challenge the Acquisition as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest at any time, including after completion of the transaction. In addition, in some circumstances, a third party could initiate a private action under antitrust laws challenging or seeking to enjoin the merger, before or after it is completed. We may not prevail and may incur significant costs in defending or settling any action under the antitrust laws.
Our indebtedness following the completion of the Acquisition will be significant and could adversely affect our business and our ability to meetcomply with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our obligations,indebtedness. This situation is changing rapidly and if sufficient financing on favorable terms or other sources of capitaladditional impacts may arise that we are not available,aware of currently. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we may be subjectcontinue to significant monetary or other damages under the Acquisition Agreement.
We currently expectexperience materially adverse impacts to incur indebtedness in excess of $2 billion to finance the Acquisition. Interest costs related to this debt or other debt we may incur in connection with the Acquisition will be significant. Our new indebtedness may contain negative or financial covenants that would limit our operational flexibility. Our increased level of indebtedness could reduce funds available for additional acquisitions or other business purposes, restrict our financial and operating flexibility, or create competitive disadvantages compared to other companies with lower debt levels. This in turn may reduce our flexibility in responding to changes in our businesses and in our industry.
Additionally, although we have obtained financing commitments with respect to the Acquisition in an amount which we believe would be sufficient to allow us to complete the transaction, the consummation of the financing pursuant to these commitments is subject to conditions that may not be satisfied. Our ability to obtain any financing to fund a portion of the purchase price is not a condition to closing under the acquisition agreement. However, if we are unable to obtain sufficient financing on favorable terms or experience a significant diminution of our existing cash and cash equivalents or other sources of capital, and as a result we do not have sufficient funds to complete the Acquisition, we may be subject to monetary or other damages under the acquisition agreement as a result of our failure to complete the Acquisition.
We may be unable to integrate the Business successfully and realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition.
The pending Acquisition involves the combination of two companies that have operated independently. We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating business practices, cultures and operations of each business. Potential difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include the following:
the inability to successfully combine our respective businesses in a manner that permits us to achieve the cost savings, synergies and other anticipated benefits from the Acquisition;


the challenge of integrating complex systems, operating procedures, compliance programs, technology, networks and other assets of the Business in a manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies;
difficulties in retaining key management and other key employees;
the challenge of managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company and coordinating geographically separate organizations; and
potential unknown liabilities, liabilities that are significantly larger than we currently anticipate, and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the Acquisition, including cash costs to integrate the two businesses that may exceed the cash costs that we currently anticipate.

Any one of these factors could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of anticipated benefits and diversion of management’s attention, which could materially impact our business financial condition and results of operations. In addition, even if we are able to integrate the Business successfully, the anticipated benefits of the pending Acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
Failure to complete the Acquisition could impact our stock price and our future business and financial results.
If the Acquisition is not completed, our ongoing business and financial results may be adversely affected and we will be subject to a number of risks, including the following: depending on the reasons for the failure to complete the Acquisition, we could be liable to Spectrum for monetary or other damages in connection with the termination or breach of the acquisition agreement, including a termination fee of $100 million; we have dedicated significant time and resources, financial and otherwise, in planning for the Acquisition and the associated integration, of which we would lose the benefit if the Acquisition is not completed; we are responsible for certain transaction costs relating to the Acquisition, whether or not the Acquisition is completed; while the acquisition agreement is in force, we are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business, including our ability to make any other significant acquisition which would reasonably be expected to delay, hinder or otherwise obstruct the consummation of the Acquisition, which restrictions may adversely affect our ability to execute certain of our business strategies; and matters relating to the Acquisition (including integration planning) may require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, whether or not the Acquisition is completed, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us.
In addition, if the Acquisition is not completed, we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from our customers and employees. We also may be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Acquisition or to enforcement proceedings commenced against us to perform our obligations under the acquisition agreement. If the Acquisition is not completed, these risks may materialize and may adversely affect our business, financial results and financial condition, as well as the price of our common stock.
While the Acquisition is pending, we and Spectrum will be subject to business uncertainties that could adversely affect our respective businesses.
Our success following the Acquisition will depend in part upon the ability of us and Spectrum to maintain our respective business relationships. Uncertainty about the effect of the Acquisition on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies may have a material adverse effect on us and the Business. Customers, suppliers and others who deal with us or Spectrum may delay or defer business decisions, decide to terminate, modify or renegotiate their relationships or take other actions as a result of the Acquisitionvirus’s global economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on our liquidity and the impacts of any recession that could negatively affecthas occurred or may occur in the revenues, earnings and cash flows of the Company or the Business. If we are unable to maintain these business and operational relationships, our financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially affected.future.
