1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements provided in this report include the accounts of The Hershey Company (the “Company,” “Hershey,” “we” or “us”) and our majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which we have a controlling financial interest after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. We have a controlling financial interest if we own a majority of the outstanding voting common stock and minority shareholders do not have substantive participating rights, we have significant control through contractual or economic interests in which we are the primary beneficiary or we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. We use the equity method of accounting when we have a 20% to 50% interest in other companies and exercise significant influence. Other investments that are not controlled, and over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the cost method. Both equity and cost method investments are included as Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not contain certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for comprehensive financial statements. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the indicated periods.
Operating results for the quarter ended June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20202021 because of seasonal effects on our business. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 (our “2019“2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), which provides a more complete understanding of our accounting policies, financial position, operating results and other matters.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the recent novel coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. We continue to actively monitor COVID-19 and its potential impact on our operations and financial results. Employee health and safety remains our first priority while we continue our efforts to support community food supplies. To date,Since the onset of COVID-19, there has been minimal disruption to our supply chain network, and all our manufacturing plants are currently open. We are also working closely with our business units, contract manufacturers, distributors, contractors and other external business partners to minimize the potential impact on our business.
As a result of shelter-in-place restrictions that were implemented in late March and early April, as well as decreases in retail foot traffic and volatility in consumer shopping and consumption behavior across several areas of our portfolio, we experienced a reduction in our net sales and earnings per share during the second quarter of 2020. We believe the financial impacts from COVID-19 are temporary in nature and do not significantly affect our business model and growth strategy. Therefore, we do not consider COVID-19 to be a triggering event to accelerate our annual impairments tests.
We evaluated our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and determined there were no interim triggering events as it was not more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units would be less than their respective carrying amounts. Additionally, we evaluated our long-lived assets, including our property, plant and equipment, lease right-of-use assets and other intangible assets, noting no indicators of impairment.
In late May and early June, many state governments began a phased reopening of their economies. These phased approaches promote limited food service offerings, outdoor dining, increased travel and the reopening of retailing establishments while adhering to new guidelines and enhanced safety measures, including social distancing and face mask protocols. However, certain states have paused or reversed plans to reopen their economies as new cases of COVID-19 have been on the rise in recent weeks.
The ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on our consolidated financial statements throughout 2020 remains uncertain and ultimately will be dictated by the length and severity of the pandemic, including COVID-19 variants or potential resurgences, as well as the economic recovery and federal,

state and local government actions taken in response.response by local, state and national governments around the world, including the distribution of vaccinations. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of these potential impacts to our business and consolidated financial statements.

2. BUSINESS ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURES
2021 Activity
Lily's Sweets, LLC
On June 25, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Lily's Sweets, LLC ("Lily's"), previously a privately held company that sells a line of sugar-free and low-sugar confectionery foods to retailers and distributors in the United States and Canada. Lily's products include dark and milk chocolate style bars, baking chips, peanut butter cups and other confection products that complement Hershey’s confectionery and confectionery-based portfolio. The initial cash consideration paid for Lily's totaled $418,191 and the Company may be required to pay additional cash consideration if certain defined targets related to net sales and gross margin are exceeded during the period of the closing date through December 31, 2021. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation was classified as a liability of $5,000 and was determined using a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results. Acquisition-related costs for the Lily's acquisition were immaterial.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, Lily's has been included within the North America segment from the date of acquisition. The purchase consideration, inclusive of the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration, was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Goodwill | | $ | 174,516 | |
Other intangible assets | | 235,800 | |
Other assets acquired, primarily current assets | | 30,383 | |
Other liabilities assumed, primarily current liabilities | | (9,620) | |
Deferred income taxes | | (7,888) | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 423,191 | |
The purchase price allocation presented above is preliminary. We are in the process of refining the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities, including goodwill, and expect to finalize the purchase price allocation by the end of 2021.
Goodwill was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired (including the identifiable intangible assets). The majority of goodwill derived from this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes and reflects the value of leveraging our brand building expertise, supply chain capabilities and retail relationships to accelerate growth and access to the portfolio of Lily's products.

Lotte Shanghai Foods Co., Ltd.
In January 2021, we completed the divestiture of Lotte Shanghai Foods Co., Ltd. ("LSFC"), which was previously included within the International and Other segment results in our consolidated financial statements. Total proceeds from the divestiture and the impact on our consolidated financial statements were immaterial and were recorded in the selling, marketing and administrative ("SM&A") expense caption within the Consolidated Statements of Income.
2020 Activity
During the second quarter of 2020, we completed the divestitures of KRAVE Pure Foods, Inc., and the Scharffen Bergerand Dagobabrands, all of which were previously included within the North America segment results in our consolidated financial statements. Total proceeds from the divestitures and the impact on our Consolidated Statements of Income, both individually and on an aggregate basis, were immaterial.
2019 Activity
ONE Brands, LLC
On September 23, 2019, we completed the acquisition of ONE Brands, LLC ("ONE Brands"), previously a privately held company that sells a line of low-sugar, high-protein nutrition bars to retailers and distributors in the United States, with the ONE Bar as its primary product. The purchase consideration for ONE Brands totaled $402,160 and consisted of cash on hand and short-term borrowings. Acquisition-related costs for the ONE Brands acquisition were immaterial.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, ONE Brands' results of operations have been included within the North America segment results in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase consideration was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Initial Allocation (1) | | Adjustments | | Final Allocation |
Goodwill | $ | 179,240 | | | $ | 825 | | | $ | 180,065 | |
Other intangible assets | 206,800 | | | — | | | 206,800 | |
Other assets acquired, primarily current assets | 25,926 | | | (491) | | | 25,435 | |
Other liabilities assumed, primarily current liabilities | (9,806) | | | (334) | | | (10,140) | |
Net assets acquired | $ | 402,160 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 402,160 | |
(1)As reported in the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The purchase price allocation presented above has been finalized as of the end of the first quarter of 2020. The measurement period adjustments to the initial allocation are based on more detailed information obtained about the specific assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired (including the identifiable intangible assets). The goodwill derived from this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes and reflects the value of leveraging our brand building expertise, supply chain capabilities and retail relationships to accelerate growth and access to the portfolio of ONE Brands products.
Other intangible assets include trademarks valued at $144,900, customer relationships valued at $58,800 and covenants not to compete valued at $3,100. Trademarks were assigned an estimated useful life of 33 years, customer relationships were assigned estimated useful lives ranging from 17 to 19 years and covenants not to compete were assigned an estimated useful life of 4 years.

5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
We are exposed to market risks arising principally from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We use certain derivative instruments to manage these risks. These include interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk, foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk, and commodities futures and options contracts to manage commodity market price risk exposures.
In entering into these contracts, we have assumed the risk that might arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. We mitigate this risk by entering into exchanged-traded contracts with collateral posting requirements and/or by performing financial assessments prior to contract execution, conducting periodic evaluations of counterparty performance and maintaining a diverse portfolio of qualified counterparties. We do not expect any significant losses from counterparty defaults.
Commodity Price Risk
We enter into commodities futures and options contracts and other commodity derivative instruments to reduce the effect of future price fluctuations associated with the purchase of raw materials, energy requirements and transportation services. We generally hedge commodity price risks for 3- to 24-month periods. Our open commodity derivative contracts had a notional value of $817,521$387,871 as of June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and $589,662$279,843 as of December 31, 2019.2020.
Derivatives used to manage commodity price risk are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, the changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded as incurred within cost of sales. As discussed in Note 13, we define our segment income to exclude gains and losses on commodity derivatives until the related inventory is sold, at which time the related gains and losses are reflected within segment income. This enables us to continue to align the derivative gains and losses with the underlying economic exposure being hedged and thereby eliminate the mark-to-market volatility within our reported segment income.
Foreign Exchange Price Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our international operations, including non-functional currency intercompany debt and other non-functional currency transactions of certain subsidiaries. Principal currencies hedged include the euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, British pound, Brazilian real, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican peso and Malaysian ringgit.Swiss franc. We typically utilize foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge these exposures for periods ranging from 3 to 12 months. The contracts are either designated as cash flow hedges or are undesignated. The net notional amount of foreign exchange contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges was $84,383$183,136 at June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and $65,826$130,131 at December 31, 2019.2020. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these contracts is recorded in other

(amounts in thousands, except share data or if otherwise indicated)
comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The net notional amount of foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $42,057$1,775 at June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and $50,831$2,519 at December 31, 2019.2020. The change in fair value on these instruments is recorded directly in cost of sales or selling, marketing and administrative expense, depending on the nature of the underlying exposure.

Interest Rate Risk
We manage our targeted mix of fixed and floating rate debt with debt issuances and by entering into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps in order to mitigate fluctuations in earnings and cash flows that may result from interest rate volatility. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges, for which the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item are recognized in current earnings as interest expense (income), net. We had oneIn December 2020, our fixed-to-floating interest rate swap matured in connection with the repayment of certain long-term debt upon its maturity. Therefore, as of July 4, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had 0 open interest rate swap derivative instrumentinstruments in a fair value hedging relationship with a notional amount of $350,000 at June 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019.relationship.
In order to manage interest rate exposure, in previous years we utilized interest rate swap agreements to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes relating to forecasted debt transactions. These swaps, which were settled upon issuance of the related debt, were designated as cash flow hedges and the gains and losses that were deferred in other comprehensive income are being recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the same period that the hedged interest payments affect earnings.
Equity Price Risk
We are exposed to market price changes in certain broad market indices related to our deferred compensation obligations to our employees. To mitigate this risk, we use equity swap contracts to hedge the portion of the exposure that is linked to market-level equity returns. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and are entered into for periods of 3 to 12 months. The change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded in selling, marketing and administrative expense, together with the change in the related liabilities. The notional amount of the contracts outstanding at June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 was $22,995$22,882 and $28,187,$30,194, respectively.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements requires that financial assets and liabilities be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories of the fair value hierarchy:
| | |
Level 1 – Based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. |
Level 2 – Based on observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. |
Level 3 – Based on unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
We did 0t have any levelLevel 3 financial assets or liabilities, nor were there any transfers between levels during the periods presented.
The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and December 31, 2019:

(2)The fair value of interest rate swap agreements represents the difference in the present value of cash flows calculated at the contracted interest rates and at current market interest rates at the end of the period. We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments.

(4)The fair value of commodities futures and options contracts is based on quoted market prices.
Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximated fair values as of June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for similar debt issues and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The fair values and carrying values of long-term debt, including the current portion, were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Other Fair Value Measurements
In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, GAAP requires that, under certain circumstances, we also record assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
2020 ActivityIn connection with the acquisition of Lily's in the second quarter of 2021, as discussed in Note 2, we used various valuation techniques to determine fair value, with the primary techniques being discounted cash flow analysis, relief-from-royalty and a form of the multi-period excess earnings, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy.During the firstsix months ended July 4, 2021, we recorded 0 impairment charges.

During the second quarter of 2019, we recorded impairment charges totaling $4,741. These charges were predominantly comprised of select long-lived assets that had not yet met the held for sale criteria.
In connection with the acquisition of ONE Brands in the third quarter of 2019, as discussed in Note 2, we used various valuation techniques to determine fair value, with the primary techniques being discounted cash flow analysis, relief-from-royalty, a form of the multi-period excess earnings and the with-and-without valuation approaches, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy.

7. LEASES
We lease office and retail space, warehouse and distribution facilities, land, vehicles, and equipment. We determine if an agreement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term and are recognized at the lease commencement date.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The estimated incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date.

Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. A limited number of our lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements generally do not contain residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
For real estate, equipment and vehicles that support selling, marketing and general administrative activities the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. These asset categories comprise the majority of our leases. The lease and non-lease components of real estate and equipment leases supporting production activities are not accounted for as a single lease component. Consideration for such contracts are allocated to the lease component and non-lease components based upon relative standalone prices either observable or estimated if observable prices are not readily available.
As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on our ability to operate certain parts of our business, during the second quarter of 2020, we received immaterial rent concessions primarily on select office space. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of potential COVID-19 impacts on our long-lived asset groups, including any required reassessment of lease agreements.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we commenced a program ("International Optimization Program") to streamline resources and investments in select international markets, including the optimization of our China operating model that will improve our operational efficiency and provide for a strong, sustainable and simplified base going forward.
The International Optimization Program is expected to be completed by mid-2022, with total pre-tax costs anticipated to be $50,000 to $75,000. Cash costs are expected to be $40,000 to $65,000, primarily related to workforce reductions of approximately 350 positions outside of the United States, costs to consolidate and relocate production, and third-party costs incurred to execute these activities. The costs and related benefits of the Margin for GrowthInternational Optimization Program relate approximately 63% to the North America segment and 37% to the International and Other segment. However, segment operating results do not include these business realignment expenses because we evaluate segment performance excluding such costs.
For the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, we recognized total costs associated with the International Optimization Program of $3,469 and $10,396, respectively. These charges predominantly included third-party charges in support of our initiative to transform our China operating model, as well as severance and employee benefit costs. Since inception, we have incurred pre-tax charges to execute the program totaling $39,739.
Margin for Growth Program
In the first quarter of 2017, the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") unanimously approved several initiatives under a single program designed to drive continued net sales, operating income and earnings per-share diluted growth over the next several years. This program focused on improving global efficiency and effectiveness, optimizing the Company’s supply chain, streamlining the Company’s operating model and reducing administrative expenses to generate long-term savings.
Total pre-tax charges to execute this Margin for Growth Program were $347,704. This includes long-lived asset impairment charges of $208,712 related to the operations supporting our China business in 2017, as well as a $16,300 incremental impairment charge resulting from the sale of our Shanghai Golden Monkey business. In addition to the impairment charges, we incurred employee separation costs of $52,457 and other business realignment costs of $70,235. The programproject was completed during the second quarter of 2020 and the cash portion of the total program charges was $105,130. The Company reduced its global workforce by approximately 15% as a result of this program, with a majority of the reductions coming from hourly headcount positions outside of the United States.in mid-2020.
For the three and six months ended June 28, 2020, we recognized total costs associated with the Margin for Growth Program of $1,275 and $2,170, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized total costs associated with the Margin for Growth Program of $6,378 and $6,862, respectively. These charges included employee severance, largely relating to initiatives to improve the cost structure of our corporate operating model as part of optimizing our global supply chain. In addition, we incurred other program costs, which related primarily to third-party charges in support of our initiative to improve global efficiency and effectiveness.

10. INCOME TAXES
The majority of our taxable income is generated in the United States and taxed at the U.S.United States statutory rate of 21%. The effective tax rates for the six months ended July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020 were 25.1% and June 30, 2019 were 19.8% and 18.7%, respectively. Relative to the statutory rate, the 20202021 effective tax rate was impacted by incremental tax reserves incurred as a result of an adverse ruling in connection with a non-U.S. tax litigation matter as well as state taxes, partially offset by investment tax credits and the benefit of employee share-based payments, partially offset by state taxes.payments.
HersheyThe Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the United States, including various state and local returns, and in other foreign jurisdictions. We are routinely audited by taxing authorities in our filing jurisdictions, and a number of these auditsdisputes are currently underway, including multi-year auditscontroversies at various stages of review, negotiation and litigation in Malaysia, Mexico, and the United States. The outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty, including the timing of resolution or potential settlements. If any issues addressed in our tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, we could be required to adjust our provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs. During the second quarter of 2021, we recorded incremental tax reserves as a result of an adverse ruling in connection with a non-U.S. tax litigation matter. Based on our current assessments, we believe adequate provision has been made for all income tax uncertainties. We reasonably expect reductions in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $3,353$22,387 within the next 12 months because of the expiration of statutes of limitations and settlements of tax audits.

12. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Share-based grants for compensation and incentive purposes are made pursuant to the Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (“EICP”). The EICP provides for grants of one or more of the following stock-based compensation awards to employees, non-employee directors and certain service providers upon whom the successful conduct of our business is dependent:
•Non-qualified stock options ("stock options");
•Performance stock units ("PSUs") and performance stock;
•Stock appreciation rights;
•Restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock; and
•Other stock-based awards.
The EICP also provides for the deferral of stock-based compensation awards by participants if approved by the Compensation and Executive Organization Committee of our Board and if in accordance with an applicable deferred compensation plan of the Company. Currently, the Compensation and Executive Organization Committee has authorized the deferral of PSU and RSU awards by certain eligible employees under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan. Our Board has authorized our non-employee directors to defer any portion of their cash retainer, committee chair fees and RSUs awarded that they elect to convert into deferred stock units under our Directors’ Compensation Plan.
At the time stock options are exercised or PSUs and RSUs become payable, Common Stock is issued from our accumulated treasury shares. Dividend equivalents are credited on RSUs on the same date and at the same rate as dividends paid on our Common Stock. Dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings and included in accrued liabilities until paid.
Awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested are amortized to expense over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award. In addition, historical data is used to estimate forfeiture rates and record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.
For the periods presented, compensation expense for all types of stock-based compensation programs and the related income tax benefit recognized were as follows:

Performance Stock Units and Restricted Stock Units
Under the EICP, we grant PSUs to selected executives and other key employees. Vesting is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance objectives. We grant PSUs over 3-year performance cycles. If we meet targets for financial measures at the end of the applicable 3-year performance cycle, we award a resulting number of shares of our Common Stock to the participants. The number of shares may be increased to the maximum or reduced to the minimum threshold based on the results of these performance metrics in accordance with the terms established at the time of the award.
For PSUs granted, the target award is a combination of a market-based total shareholder return and performance-based components. For market-based condition components, market volatility and other factors are taken into consideration in determining the grant date fair value and the related compensation expense is recognized regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service has been provided. For performance-based condition components, we estimate the probability that the performance conditions will be achieved each quarter and adjust compensation expenses accordingly. The performance scores of PSU grants during the six months ended July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 can range from 0% to 250% of the targeted amounts.

(amounts in thousands, except share data or if otherwise indicated)
We recognize the compensation expenses associated with PSUs ratably over the 3-year term. Compensation expenses is based on the grant date fair value because the grants can only be settled in shares of our Common Stock. The grant date fair value of PSUs is determined based on the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant for performance-based components.
During the six months ended July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020, and June 30, 2019, we awarded RSUs to certain executive officers and other key employees under the EICP. We also awarded RSUs to non-employee directors.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our organizational structure is designed to ensure continued focus on North America, coupled with an emphasis on profitable growth in our focus international markets. Our business is primarily organized around geographic regions, which enables us to build processes for repeatable success in our global markets. As a result, we have defined our operating segments on a geographic basis, as this aligns with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages our business, including resource allocation and performance assessment. Our North America business, which generates approximately 92%90% of our consolidated revenue, is our only reportable segment. None of our other operating segments meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable segments; therefore, these operating segments are combined and disclosed below as International and Other.
•North America - This segment is responsible for our traditional chocolate and non-chocolate confectionery market position, as well as our grocery and growing snacks market positions, in the United States and Canada. This includes developing and growing our business in chocolate and non-chocolate confectionery, pantry, food service and other snacking product lines.
•International and Other - International and Other is a combination of all other operating segments that are not individually material, including those geographic regions where we operate outside of North America.
The Hershey Company | Q2 2020 Form 10-Q | Page 25

(amounts in thousands, except share data or if otherwise indicated)
We currently have operations and manufacture product in China, Mexico, Brazil, India and Malaysia, primarily for consumers in these regions, and also distribute and sell confectionery products in export markets of Asia, Latin America, Middle East, Europe, Africa and other regions. This segment also includes our global retail operations, including Hershey's Chocolate World stores in Hershey, Pennsylvania, New York City, Las Vegas, Niagara Falls (Ontario) and Singapore, as well as operations associated with licensing the use of certain of the Company's trademarks and products to third parties around the world.
For segment reporting purposes, we use “segment income” to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Segment income excludes unallocated general corporate administrative expenses, unallocated mark-to-market gains and losses on commodity derivatives, business realignment and impairment charges, acquisition-related costs and other unusual gains or losses that are not part of our measurement of segment performance. These items of our operating income are managed centrally at the corporate level and are excluded from the measure of segment income reviewed by the CODM as well as the measure of segment performance used for incentive compensation purposes.
As discussed in Note 5, derivatives used to manage commodity price risk are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. These derivatives are recognized at fair market value with the resulting realized and unrealized (gains) losses recognized in unallocated derivative (gains) losses outside of the reporting segment results until the related inventory is sold, at which time the related gains and losses are reallocated to segment income. This enables us to align the derivative gains and losses with the underlying economic exposure being hedged and thereby eliminate the mark-to-market volatility within our reported segment income. Certain manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and other activities supporting our global operations are integrated to maximize efficiency and productivity. As a result, assets and capital expenditures are not managed on a segment basis and are not included in the information reported to the CODM for the purpose of evaluating performance or allocating resources. We disclose depreciation and amortization that is generated by segment-specific assets, since these amounts are included within the measure of segment income reported to the CODM.

17. EARNINGS PER SHARE
We compute basic earnings per share for Common Stock and Class B common stock using the two-class method. The Class B common stock is convertible into Common Stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. The computation of diluted earnings per share for Common Stock assumes the conversion of Class B common stock using the if-converted method, while the diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to provide an understanding of Hershey's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by focusing on changes in certain key measures from year to year. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. This discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on current expectations. Actual results may differ materially. Refer to the Safe Harbor Statement below as well as the Risk Factors and other information contained in our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 29, 2020, and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 27, 2020.
for information concerning the key risks to achieving future performance goals.
The MD&A is organized in the following sections:
OVERVIEW
Hershey is a global confectionery leader known for bringing goodness to the world through chocolate, sweets, mints, gum and other great tasting snacks. We are the largest producer of quality chocolate in North America, a leading snack maker in the United States ("U.S.") and a global leader in chocolate and non-chocolate confectionery. We market, sell and distribute our products under more than 8090 brand names in approximately 85 countries worldwide.
We report our operations through two segments: North America and International and Other. The majority of our products are confectionery or confectionery-based and include chocolate and non-chocolate confectionery products, gum and mint refreshment products, spreads, snack bites and mixes, as well as pantry items such as baking ingredients, toppings and sundae syrups. The confectionery and confectionery-based portfolio is predominantly sold under the renowned brands of Hershey's, Reese's and Kisses, as well as Kit Kat®, Jolly Rancher, Ice Breakers, Twizzlers, Heath, Payday, Cadbury and a variety of other popular brands. Our snacks portfolio includes ready-to-eat popcorn, baked and trans fat free snacks, protein bars and other better-for-you snacks. The snacks portfolio is predominantly sold under the brands of SkinnyPop, Pirate's Booty, ONE Bar, Paquiand OatmegaPaqui.
2021 Acquisition and Divestiture
In June 2021, we completed the acquisition of Lily's Sweets, LLC ("Lily's"), previously a privately held company that sells a line of sugar-free and low-sugar confectionery foods to retailers and distributors in the United States and Canada. Lily's products include dark and milk chocolate style bars, baking chips, peanut butter cups and other confection products that complement Hershey’s confectionery and confectionery-based portfolio. Lily's is expected to generate annualized net sales over $100 million.
In January 2021, we completed the divestiture of Lotte Shanghai Foods Co., Ltd. ("LSFC"), which was previously included within the International and Other segment results in our consolidated financial statements. Total proceeds from the divestiture and the impact on our consolidated financial statements were immaterial.
2020 Divestitures
During the second quarter of 2020, we completed the divestitures of KRAVE Pure Foods, Inc. ("Krave") and the Scharffen Berger and Dagoba brands.brands, all of which were previously included within the North America segment results in our consolidated financial statements. Total proceeds from the divestitures and the impact on our Consolidated Statements of Income,consolidated financial statements, both individually and on an aggregate basis, were immaterial.

TRENDS AFFECTING OUR BUSINESS
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the recent novel coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. COVID-19 was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, Chinapandemic, which has spread worldwide and continued to spread, significantly impactingimpacted various markets around the world, including the United States.U.S. Various policies and initiatives have been implemented to reduce the global transmission of COVID-19.
Local, state and national governments continue to emphasize the importance of food supply during this pandemic and asked that food manufacturers and retailers remain open to meet the needs of our communities. Employee safety is our first priority, and as a result, we put preparedness plans in place at our manufacturing facilities. Our manufacturing facilities are currently open,open; however, we have adjusted shift schedules, enforced social distancing, increased sanitation and adjusted time and attendance policies for worker absenteeism. Our sales teams continue to support
The Hershey Company | Q2 2020 Form 10-Q | Page 34
community food supplies, while adhering to social distancing guidelines, implementing flexible hours, reducing person-to-person interaction and increasing safety measures. Additionally, in June,At the onset of the pandemic, the Company re-opened Hershey’stemporarily closed all Hershey's Chocolate World stores in the United StatesU.S. (3 locations) and, Niagara Falls (Ontario) and Singapore; however, since July 2020, all locations were re-opened on a limited capacity basis with increased safety measures and enforced social distancing. The Company's Chocolate World store in Singapore remains temporarily closed.
Also inIn June 2020 we commenced a phased in approach to reopen our corporate headquarters in Hershey, Pennsylvania and other select offices with increased safety protocols. We have successfully onboarded several teams,teams; however, occupancy levels remain low as we continue to monitor the latest COVID-19 related public health and government guidance. As a result, a majority of our office-based employees continue to work remotely where possible. We have crisis management teams in place to monitor the continually evolving situation and recommending risk mitigation actions as deemed necessary. To date, there has been minimal disruption to our supply chain network, including the supply of our ingredients, packaging or other sourced materials, though it is possible that more significant disruptions could occur if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact markets around the world. We are also working closely with our business units, contract manufacturers, distributors, contractors and other external business partners to minimize the potential impact on our business.
WeAs of July 4, 2021, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs,needs; however, we continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business can continue to operate during these uncertain times. Our most recent liquidity measures include an increase in our short-term commercial paper balances and the $1 billion Notes issuance in May 2020 with varying rates ranging from 0.900% to 2.650% and maturity dates ranging from 2025 to 2050. Additionally, weongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to limitmonitor our discretionary spending across the organization (see Liquidity and re-prioritizing our capital projects amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We plan to move forward with our new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system implementation and supply chain capacity projects, as these investments are of strategic importance to our long-term growth. However, as previously announced, we did selectively pause certain aspects of the ERP system implementation due to resource constraints and challenges associated with the critical design phase during these uncertain times. We expectCapital Resources included in this to delay our overall ERP implementation by approximately one year.MD&A).
As a resultDuring the second quarter of shelter-in-place2021, many state governments began easing COVID-19 restrictions, that were implementedresulting in late Marchincreased travel ahead of the summer season, approval for full capacity at major sporting and early April, as well as decreases in retail foot trafficentertainment events, increased occupancy limits for indoor gathering and volatility in consumer shoppingthe removal of face covering requirements (subject to certain exceptions). Additionally, increasing availability and consumption behavior across several areasthe rollout of our portfolio, wevaccinations continue around the world, albeit with slower than anticipated rollouts and challenges within certain countries. We experienced a reductionan increase in our net sales and income during the three and six months ended June 28, 2020. The unfavorable impacts predominantly related toJuly 4, 2021, which was primarily driven by strong everyday performance on our Internationalcore U.S. confection brands and Other segmentsolid marketplace growth in select international markets (see Segment Results included in this MD&A). We believe the financial impacts from COVID-19 are temporary in nature and do not significantly affect our business model and growth strategy.
In late May and early June, many state governments began a phased reopening of their economies. These phased approaches promote limited food service offerings, outdoor dining, increased travel and the reopening of retailing establishments while adhering to new guidelines and enhanced safety measures, including social distancing and face mask protocols. However, certain states have paused or reversed plans to reopen their economies as new cases of COVID-19 have been on the rise in recent weeks. Based on the length and severity of COVID-19, including new trends in outbreaks and hotspots, the spread of COVID-19 variants, potential resurgences and the continued distribution of vaccinations, we may experience continued volatility in retail foot traffic, consumer shopping and consumption behavior. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of these potential impacts to our business, consolidated results of operations, segment results, liquidity and capital resources.

Key U.S. Marketplace Metrics
For the second quarter of 2020,2021, our total U.S. retail takeaway increased 4.1%2.8% in the expanded multi-outlet combined plus convenience store channels (IRI MULO + C-Stores), which includes candy, mint, gum, salty snacks, meat snacks and grocery items. Our U.S. candy, mint and gum ("CMG") consumer takeaway increased 3.2%2.3%, resulting in a CMG market share gainloss of approximately 227113 basis points.
The CMG consumer takeaway and market share information reflect measured channels of distribution accounting for approximately 90% of our U.S. confectionery retail business.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
Cost of sales increased 2.5%16.3% in the second quarter of 20202021 compared to the same period of 2019.2020. The increase was driven by anhigher sales volume, higher freight and logistics costs and additional plant costs. These drivers were partially offset by the incremental $52.9$14.3 million of unfavorablefavorable mark-to-market activity on our commodity derivative instruments which are intended to economically hedge future years' commodity purchases. Additionally, the increase in cost of sales was attributed to higher freight and logistics costs, and additional plant costs, specifically, personal protective equipment ("PPE") costs, increased sanitation and wage incentives associated with COVID-19. These drivers were partially offset by favorable supply chain productivity.
Gross margin decreased by 310 basis points in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable year-over-year mark-to-market impact from commodity derivative instruments, higher freight and logistics costs and additional plant costs. These factors were partially offset by favorable price realization and supply chain productivity.
Selling, Marketing and Administrative
Selling, marketing and administrative (“SM&A”) expenses decreased $44.8 million or 9.9%Gross margin increased by 10 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. The increase was driven by the favorable year-over-year mark-to-market impact from commodity derivative instruments, favorable price realization and supply chain productivity. These factors were offset by higher freight and logistics costs and additional plant costs.
SM&A Expenses

Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges
We had no impairment charges during the second quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $1.6 million, predominantly comprised of impairment charges to adjust long-lived asset values in connection withof our LSFC disposal group which was previously classified as held for sale, as discussed in sale.
Note8 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of the disposal group was supported by potential sales prices with third-party buyers. We expect the sale of the disposal group to be completed during 2020. During the second quarter of 2019, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $4.7 million, which were predominantly comprised of select land that had not yet met the held for sale criteria.
Business Realignment Activities
BusinessWe periodically undertake business realignment activities designed to increase our efficiency and focus our business in support of our key growth strategies. In the second quarter of 2021, we recorded business realignment costs of $1.1 million related to the International Optimization Program, a program focused on optimizing our China operating model to improve our operational efficiency and provide for a strong, sustainable and simplified base going forward. In the second quarter of 2020, we recorded business realignment benefits of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 versus costs of $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2019 related primarily to the Margin for Growth Program, which is discusseda program focused on improving global efficiency and effectiveness, optimizing the Company’s supply chain, streamlining the Company’s operating model and reducing administrative expenses to generate long-term savings.

Operating profit margin decreasedincreased to 23.0% in 2021 from 22.5% in 2020 from 23.2% in 2019 driven by these same factors.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense was $4.3$7.0 million higherlower in the second quarter of 20202021 compared to the same period of 2019.2020. The increasedecrease was primarily due to lower interest income in 2020 as we recognized a benefit in 2019 related to an international local tax settlement, as well as higher long-term debt balances in 2021 versus 2020, versus 2019 (predominantly due to $1.0 billionspecifically resulting from $785 million of notes issued in October 2019).long-term debt repayments with varying maturity dates during the last twelve months preceding July 4, 2021.

SEGMENT RESULTS
The summary that follows provides a discussion of the results of operations of our two reportable segments: North America and International and Other. The segments reflect our operations on a geographic basis. For segment reporting purposes, we use “segment income” to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Segment income excludes unallocated general corporate administrative expenses, unallocated mark-to-market gains and losses on commodity derivatives, business realignment and impairment charges, acquisition-related costs and other unusual gains or losses that are not part of our measurement of segment performance. These items of our operating income are largely managed centrally at the corporate level and are excluded from the measure of segment income reviewed by the CODM and used for resource allocation and internal management reporting and performance evaluation. Segment income and segment income margin, which are presented in the segment discussion that follows, are non-GAAP measures and do not purport to be alternatives to operating income as a measure of operating performance. We believe that these measures are useful to investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating ongoing operating profitability as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors, as they exclude the activities that are not directly attributable to our ongoing segment operations.
Our segment results, including a reconciliation to our consolidated results, were as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, our primary source of liquidity has been cash generated from operations. Domestic seasonal working capital needs, which typically peak during the summer months, are generally met by utilizing cash on hand, bank borrowings or the issuance of commercial paper. Commercial paper may also be issued, from time to time, to finance ongoing business transactions, such as the repayment of long-term debt, business acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes.
At June 28, 2020,July 4, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.2 billion. At December 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $493.3 million. Our cash and cash equivalents during the first six months$426.2 million, a decrease of 2020 increased $672.1$717.8 million compared to the 20192020 year-end balance. This increase was predominantly dueWe believe we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our $1 billion Notes issuance in May 2020cash needs; however, we continue to evaluate and take action, as we intendnecessary, to mitigate any potentialpreserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business can continue to operate during the ongoing COVID-19 risks, partially offset by the repayment of $350 million Notes that matured in May 2020.pandemic. Additional detail regarding the net sourcesuses of cash are outlined in the following discussion.
Approximately 30%85% of the balance of our cash and cash equivalents at June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 was held by subsidiaries domiciled outside of the United States. During the first six months of 2020,2021, previously undistributed earnings of certain international subsidiaries were no longer considered indefinitely reinvested; however, the Company had previously recognized a one-time U.S. repatriation tax due under U.S. tax reform, and as a result, only an immaterial amount of withholding tax was recognized. For the remainder of the Company’s cash held by international subsidiaries, we intend to continue to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs, including our cash needs in the United States.

Operating activities
We generated cash of $614.0 million$1.0 billion from operating activities in the first six months of 2020, a decrease2021, an increase of $65.3$403.7 million compared to $679.3$614.0 million in the same period of 2019.2020. This decreaseincrease in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly driven by the following factors:
•Net income adjusted for non-cash charges to operations (including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes, long-lived asset charges, a write-down of equity investments and other charges) resulted in $69.5$186.3 million of lowerhigher cash flow in 20202021 relative to 2019.2020.
•Net working capital (comprised of trade accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) consumed cash of $13.3 million in 2021, compared to $201.9 million in 2020 and $151.5 million in 2019.2020. This $50.4$188.6 million fluctuation was mainly driven by the following factor:
◦$43.6 million decrease inhigher cash provided by accounts receivable, primarily driven by a decrease in shorter term sales as well as timing of customer payments,receipts from customers resulting in a slightly higherlower investment in accounts receivable at the end of the second quarter of 20202021 compared to the same period of 2019.2020, as well as strong demand of U.S. inventories, specifically our everyday core U.S. confection brands.
•$24.2Accrued income taxes generated consistent levels of cash in 2021 and 2020; however, we paid cash of $139.1 million for income taxes during 2021 compared to $71.6 million in the same period of 2020. This $67.5 million increase in cash used by other assets and liabilities, primarily driven by the effect of commodity derivative activity in 2020 relative to 2019.
The Hershey Company | Q2 2020 Form 10-Q | Page 44
•The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by the following net cash inflow:
◦Incomes taxes generated cash of $65.2 million in 2020, compared to cash used of $15.5 million in 2019. This $80.7 million fluctuationpayments was primarily due to the 2020 deferral of quarterly estimated tax payments in 2020 as a result of the CARES Act. We paid income taxes of $71.6 million during 2020 compared to $136.9 million in the same period of 2019.
Investing activities
We used cash of $209.8$700.1 million for investing activities in the first six months of 2020,2021, an increase of $3.4$490.3 million compared to $206.4$209.8 million in the same period of 2019.2020. This increase in net cash used in investing activities was mainly driven by the following factors:
•Capital spending. Capital expenditures, including capitalized software, primarily to support capacity expansion, innovation and cost savings, were $185.8$227.6 million in the first six months of 20202021 compared to $176.3$185.8 million in the same period of 2019.2020. For full year 2020,2021, we expect capital expenditures, including capitalized software, to approximate $400 million to $450 million,$550 million. Our 2021 capital expenditures are largely driven by the continuation of our ERP system implementation, as we continue to evaluate and re-prioritizewell as our capital projects amid the COVID-19 pandemic.supply chain capacity projects.
•Investments in partnerships qualifying for tax credits. We make investments in partnership entities that in turn make equity investments in projects eligible to receive federal historic and renewable energy tax credits. We invested approximately $26.4$57.4 million in the first six months of 2020,2021, compared to $30.3$26.4 million in the same period of 2019.2020.
•Business Acquisition. In June 2021, we acquired Lily's for an initial cash purchase price of $418.2 million. Further details regarding our business acquisition activity is provided in Note 2 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Financing activities
We generatedused cash of $295.9 million from$1.0 billion for financing activities in the first six months of 2020, an increase of $994.6 million2021, compared to cash usedgenerated of $698.7$295.9 million in the same period of 2019.2020. This increase in net cash provided byfluctuation of $1.3 billion for financing activities was mainly driven by the following factors:
•Short-term borrowings, net. In addition to utilizing cash on hand, we use short-term borrowings (commercial paper and bank borrowings) to fund seasonal working capital requirements and ongoing business needs. During the first six months of 2021, we generated cash flow of $137.0 million predominantly through the issuance of short-term commercial paper, partially offset by a reduction in short-term foreign borrowings. During the first six months of 2020, we generated cash flow of $166.0 million predominantly through the issuance of short-term commercial paper, as well as an increase in short-term foreign bank borrowings. During the first six months of 2019, we had a net reduction in short-term borrowings of $311.2 million primarily due to repayments on commercial paper, partially offset by increases in short-term foreign borrowings.

•Long-term debt borrowings and repayments. During the first six months of 2021, we repaid $84.7 million of 8.800% Debentures due upon their maturity and $350.0 million of 3.100% Notes due upon their maturity. During the first six months of 2020, we issued $300 million of 0.900% Notes due in 2025, $350 million of 1.700% Notes due in 2030 and $350 million of 2.650% Notes due in 2050 (the "2020 Notes"). Proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes, net of discounts and issuance costs, totaled $989.9 million. Additionally, in May 2020, we repaid $350 million of 2.900% Notes due upon their maturity. During the first six months of 2019, our long-term debt borrowings and repayments activity was minimal.
•Dividend payments. Total dividend payments to holders of our Common Stock and Class B Common Stock were $314.3$324.3 million during the first six months of 2020,2021, an increase of $18.8$10.0 million compared to $295.5$314.3 million in the same period of 2019.2020.

In July 2018, our Board of Directors approved a $500 million share repurchase authorization. As of July 4, 2021, approximately $110 million remained available for repurchases of our Common Stock under this program. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. In May 2021, our Board of Directors approved an additional $500 million share repurchase authorization. This program is to commence after the existing 2018 authorization is completed and is to be utilized at management's discretion. For the remainder of 2021, we expect share repurchases to return to a more traditional buyback strategy.
•Proceeds from the exercise of stock options, including tax benefits. We received $17.5$16.9 million from employee exercises of stock options, net of employee taxes withheld from share-based awards, during the first six months of 2020,2021, a minimal decrease of $143.9 million compared to $161.4$17.5 million in the same period of 2019.2020.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The total notional amount ofIn December 2020, our fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps outstanding at June 28, 2020swap matured in connection with the repayment of certain long-term debt upon its maturity. Therefore, as of July 4, 2021 and December 31, 2019 was $350 million. The notional amount relates to fixed-to-floating2020, we had no interest rate swaps which convertswap derivative instruments in a comparable amount of fixed-rate debt to variable rate debt at June 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019.fair value hedging relationship. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates applied to this now variable-rate debt as of June 28,through its December 2020 maturity would have increased interest expense by approximately $1.8$3.2 million for the first six months of 2020 and $3.5 millionyear 2020. There is no hypothetical impact for the full year 2019.2021.
In addition, the total amount of short-term debt, net of cash, amounted to net cash positions of $257218.6 million and $461 million,$1.1 billion, respectively, at June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and December 31, 2019.2020. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates applied to this variable-rate short-term debt as of June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 would have changed interest expense by approximately $3.1$3.2 million forfor the first six months of 20202021 and $4.3$8.6 million for the full year 2019.2020.
We consider our current risk related to market fluctuations in interest rates on our remaining debt portfolio, excluding fixed-rate debt converted to variable rates with fixed-to-floating instruments, to be minimal since this debt is largely long-term and fixed-rate in nature. Generally, the fair market value of fixed-rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would decrease the fair value of our fixed-rate long-term debt at June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 by approximately $365$322 million and $246$357 million, respectively. However, since we currently have no plans to repurchase our outstanding fixed-rate instruments before their maturities, the impact of market interest rate fluctuations on our long-term debt does not affect our results of operations or financial position.
The potential decline in fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts resulting from a hypothetical near-term adverse change in market rates of 10% was $24.3$22.9 million as of June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and $55.4$25.6 million as of December 31, 2019,2020, generally offset by a reduction in foreign exchange associated with our transactional activities.
Our open commodity derivative contracts had a notional value of $817.5$387.9 million asas of June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 and $589.7$279.8 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. At the end of the secondfirst quarter 2020,2021, the potential change in fair value of commodity derivative instruments, assuming a 10% decrease in the underlying commodity price, would have increased our net unrealized losses by $74.8$41.6 million, generally offset by a reduction in the cost of the underlying commodity purchases.
Other than as described above, market risks have not changed significantly from those described in our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 28, 2020July 4, 2021. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 28, 2020July 4, 2021.
We rely extensively on information systems and technology to manage our business and summarize operating results. We are in the process of a multi-year implementation of a new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which will replace our existing operating and financial systems. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain the Company’s financial records, enhance operational functionality and provide timely information to the Company’s management team related to the operation of the business. The implementation is expected to occur in phases over the next several years. We have completed the implementation of certain processes, including our consolidated financial reporting platform in the second quarter of 2018, as well as our trade promotions and direct marketing systems in the first quarter of 2019. These transitions did not result in significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting. However, as theThe next phases of the updated processes are rolled out in connection with the ERP implementation, we will give appropriate consideration to whether these process changes necessitate changes in the design of and testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 28, 2020July 4, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
