THE J. M. SMUCKER COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars and shares in millions, unless otherwise noted, except per share data)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of The J. M. Smucker Company (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended July 31, 2019,2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2020.2021. For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2019.2020.
Note 2: Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018,December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15,2019-12, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer'sIncome Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Implementation Costs IncurredIncome Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations, and adds guidance to reduce complexity in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.accounting for income taxes. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is2019-12 will be effective for us on May 1, 2020, but we elected2021, with the option to early adopt on May 1, 2019, as permitted,at any time prior to the effective date. Accounting for franchise taxes will require adoption on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. All other applicable provisions will require adoption on a retrospective, modified retrospective, or prospective basis. Duringbasis, as required by ASU 2019-12. We do not anticipate that the three months ended July 31, 2019, we capitalized implementation costs related to third-party cloud computing servicesadoption of $0.7, which is reflected in other noncurrent assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20) Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans. The guidance removes disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and adds new, as well as clarifies certain other, disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-14 will be effective for us on May 1, 2020, with the option to early adopt at any time prior to the effective date, and it will require adoption on a retrospective basis. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our disclosures.

In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, to eliminate or modify certain disclosure rules that are redundant, outdated, or duplicative of U.S. GAAP or other regulatory requirements. This rule was effective on November 5, 2018, and as a result, we adopted a portion of the amendments during 2019. This rule also amended the disclosure requirements related to the analysis of shareholders’ equity, which was expanded to the interim financial statements and was effective for us on May 1, 2019. While the new shareholders’ equity disclosure requirements impacted2020. It did not impact our interim financial statements beginning May 1, 2019, the amendments in this rule diddisclosures and we do not haveanticipate a material impact on our other financial statements andannual disclosures.
In February 2016, in an effort to increase transparency and comparability among organizations, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with a term of more than 12 months. We adopted the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and all related amendments on May 1, 2019, utilizing an optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods. This transition method also does not require new lease disclosures for periods prior to the effective date. We have elected certain practical expedients available under the guidance, including a package of practical expedients which allows us to not reassess prior conclusions related to existing contracts containing leases, lease classification, and initial direct costs.
Adoption of ASU 2016-02 on May 1, 2019, resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $159.2 and $166.6, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities was primarily due to an existing deferred rent balance that was reclassified to the operating lease liability. The new standard did not materially impact our Condensed Statement of Consolidated Income or Condensed Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. The additional disclosures required are presented within Note 12: Leases.

Note 3: Acquisition
On May 14, 2018, we acquired the stock of Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, LLC (“Ainsworth”), a leading producer, distributor, and marketer of premium pet food and pet snacks, predominantly within the U.S., in an all-cash transaction valued at $1.9 billion. The transaction was funded with a bank term loan and borrowings under our commercial paper program of approximately $1.5 billion and $400.0, respectively. For additional information on the financing associated with this transaction, refer to Note 8: Debt and Financing Arrangements.
During 2019, the final purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. We determined the estimated fair values based on independent appraisals, discounted cash flow analyses, quoted market prices, and other estimates made by management. The purchase price allocation included total intangible assets of $1.3 billion. The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and, as a result, the excess was allocated to goodwill. As a result of the acquisition, we recognized total goodwill of $617.8 within the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment, which represents the value we expect to achieve through the implementation of operational synergies and growth opportunities as we integrate Ainsworth into our U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment. Of the total goodwill, $446.0 was deductible for income tax purposes at the acquisition date, of which $408.5 remains deductible at July 31, 2019.
The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets within the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment were $2.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, as of July 31, 2019. The goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks within the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment, inclusive of the recently acquired Ainsworth business, remain susceptible to future impairment charges, due to the narrow differences between fair value and carrying value. Any significant adverse change in our near or long-term projections or macroeconomic conditions would result in future impairment charges.
Note 4:3: Integration and Restructuring Costs
Integration and restructuring costs primarily consist of employee-related costs and other transition and termination costs related to certain acquisition or restructuring activities. Employee-related costs include severance, retention bonuses, and relocation costs. Severance costs and retention bonuses are recognized over the estimated future service period of the affected employees, and relocation costs are expensed as incurred. Other transition and termination costs include fixed asset-related charges, contract and lease termination costs, professional fees, and other miscellaneous expenditures associated with the integration or restructuring activities, which are expensed as incurred. These integration and restructuring costs are not allocated to segment profit and the majority of these costs are reported in other special project costs in the Condensed StatementsStatement of Consolidated Income. The obligation related to employee separation costs is included in other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Integration Costs: TotalAs of April 30, 2020, integration of the Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, LLC (“Ainsworth”) acquisition was considered complete. We incurred total integration costs of $48.6 related to the acquisition, of Ainsworth are anticipated to be approximately $50.0, the majority of which are expected to be cash$4.7 were noncash charges. Of the total anticipated integration costs, we expect approximately half to be employee-related costs. All remaining integration costs are expected to be incurred by the end of 2020.
The following table summarizes our integration costs incurred related to the Ainsworth acquisition.

Note 5: Divestiture

On August 31, 2018, we sold our U.S. baking business to Brynwood Partners VII L.P. and Brynwood Partners VIII L.P., subsidiariesTable of Brynwood Partners, an unrelated party. The transaction included products that were primarily sold in U.S. retail channels under the Pillsbury®, Martha White®, Hungry Jack®, White Lily®,and Jim Dandy®brands, along with all relevant trademarks and licensing agreements, and our manufacturing facility in Toledo, Ohio. This business generated net sales of approximately $370.0 in 2018. The transaction did not include our baking business in Canada.Contents
The operating results for this business were primarily included in the U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment prior to the sale. We received proceeds from the divestiture of $369.5, which were net of cash transaction costs and included a working capital adjustment. Upon completion of the transaction during the second quarter of 2019, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $27.7.
Note 6:4: Reportable Segments
We operate in one1 industry: the manufacturing and marketing of food and beverage products. We have four3 reportable segments: U.S. Retail Pet Foods, U.S. Retail Coffee, and U.S. Retail Consumer Foods, andFoods. Effective during the first quarter of 2021, the presentation of International and Away From Home.Home represents a combination of all other operating segments that are not individually reportable. As a result of recent leadership changes, these operating segments are now being managed and reported separately, and no longer represent a reportable segment for segment reporting purposes. Prior year segment results have not been modified, as the combination of these operating segments represents the previously reported International and Away From Home reportable segment.
The U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment primarily includes the domestic sales of Rachael RayTM® Nutrish®, Meow Mix®, Milk-Bone®, Natural Balance9Lives®, Kibbles ’n Bits®, Natural Balance 9Lives®, ,Pup-PeroniNature’s Recipe®, and Pup-PeroniNature’s Recipe®branded products; the U.S. Retail Coffee segment primarily includes the domestic sales of Folgers®, Dunkin’ Donuts®, and Café Bustelo® branded coffee; and the U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment primarily includes the domestic sales of Smucker’s®, Jif®, and Crisco® branded products. The International and Away From Home segment comprisesincludes the sale of products distributed domestically and in foreign countries through retail channels and foodservice distributors and operators (e.g., health care operators, restaurants, lodging, schoolshospitality, offices, K-12, colleges and universities, health care operators)and convenience stores).
Segment profit represents net sales, less direct and allocable operating expenses, and is consistent with the way in which we manage our segments. However, we do not represent that the segments, if operated independently, would report operating profit equal to the segment profit set forth below, as segment profit excludes certain expenses such as corporate administrative expenses, unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative activities, as well as amortization expense and impairment charges related to intangible assets.
Commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative gains and losses are reported in unallocated derivative gains and losses outside of segment operating results until the related inventory is sold. At that time, we reclassify the hedge gains and losses from unallocated derivative gains and losses to segment profit, allowing our segments to realize the economic effect of the hedge without experiencing any mark-to-market volatility. We would expect that any gain or loss in the estimated fair value of the derivatives would generally be offset by a change in the estimated fair value of the underlying exposures.

We entered into interest rate contracts in November 2018 and June 2018, with notional values of $300.0 and $500.0, respectively, to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility associated with anticipated debt financing in 2020. These interest rate contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as a result, the mark-to-market gains or losses on these contracts are deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. At July 31, 2019, unrealized losses of $102.1 were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for these derivative instruments. For additional information, see Note 10: Derivative Financial Instruments.contracts.
In April 2018, we entered into a senior unsecured delayed-draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Term Loan”) with a syndicate of banks and an available commitment amount of $1.5 billion. The full amount of the Term Loan was drawn on May 14, 2018, to partially finance the Ainsworth acquisition, as discussed in Note 3: Acquisition.acquisition. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest on the prevailing U.S. Prime Rate or London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), based on our election, and areis payable either on a quarterly basis or at the end of the borrowing term. The Term Loan does not require scheduled amortization payments. Voluntary prepayments are permitted without premium or penalty. As of July 31, 2019,2020, we have prepaid $700.0$1.1 billion on the Term Loan to date.date, including $300.0 in the first quarter of 2021. The interest rate on the Term Loan at July 31, 2019,2020, was 3.400.97 percent.

Table of Contents

All of our Senior Notes outstanding at July 31, 2019, are unsecured and interest is paid semiannually, with no required scheduled principal payments until maturity. We may prepay all or part of the Senior Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount thereof, together with the accrued and unpaid interest, and any applicable make-whole amount.
We have available a $1.8 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 11 banks that matures in September 2022. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest on the prevailing U.S. Prime Rate, LIBOR, or Canadian Dealer Offered Rate, based on our election. Interest is payable either on a quarterly basis or at the end of the borrowing term. We did not0t have a balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility at July 31, 2019,2020, or April 30, 2019.2020.
We participate in a commercial paper program under which we can issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper not to exceed $1.8 billion at any time. The commercial paper program is backed by our revolving credit facility and reduces what we can borrow under the revolving credit facility by the amount of commercial paper outstanding. Commercial paper will be used as a continuing source of short-term financing for general corporate purposes. As of July 31, 2019,2020, and April 30, 2019,2020, we had $295.9$296.0 and $426.0$248.0 of short-term borrowings outstanding, respectively, which were issued under our commercial paper program at weighted-average interest rates of 2.560.25 percent and 2.750.40 percent, respectively.
Interest paid totaled $21.6$10.2 and $23.3$21.6 for the three months ended July 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. This differs from interest expense due to the timing of interest payments, capitalized interest, effect of interest rate contracts, amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts, effect of interest rate contracts, capitalized interest, and payment of other debt fees.
Our debt instruments contain certain financial covenant restrictions, including a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. We are in compliance with all covenants.

Note 10:8: Derivative Financial Instruments
We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. To manage the volatility related to these exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions. We have policies in place that define acceptable instrument types we may enter into and establish controls to limit our market risk exposure.
Commodity Price Management: We enter into commodity derivatives to manage price volatility and reduce the variability of future cash flows related to anticipated inventory purchases of key raw materials, notably green coffee, corn, edible oils, soybean meal, edible oils, and wheat. We also enter into commodity derivatives to manage price risk for energy input costs, including diesel fuel and natural gas. Our derivative instruments generally have maturities of less than one year.
We do not qualify commodity derivatives for hedge accounting treatment, and as a result, the derivative gains and losses are immediately recognized in earnings. Although we do not perform the assessments required to achieve hedge accounting for derivative positions, we believe all of our commodity derivatives are economic hedges of our risk exposure.
The commodities hedged have a high inverse correlation to price changes of the derivative instrument. Thus, we would expect that over time any gain or loss in the estimated fair value of the derivatives would generally be offset by an increase or decrease in the estimated fair value of the underlying exposures.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Hedging: We utilize foreign currency derivatives to manage the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on future cash payments primarily related to purchases of certain raw materials and finished goods. The contracts generally have maturities of less than one year. We do not qualify instruments used to manage foreign currency exchange exposures for hedge accounting treatment.
Interest Rate Hedging: We utilize derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with anticipated debt transactions, as well as to manage changes in the fair value of our long-term debt. At the inception of an interest rate contract, the instrument is evaluated and documented for qualifying hedge accounting treatment. If the contract is designated as a cash flow hedge, the mark-to-market gains or losses on the contract are deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If the contract is designated as a fair value hedge, the contract is recognized at fair value on the balance sheet and changes in the fair value are recognized in interest expense. Generally, changes in the fair value of the contract are equal to changes in the fair value of the underlying debt and have no net impact on earnings.

We have elected to not offset fair value amounts recognized for our exchange-traded derivative instruments and our cash margin accounts executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. We are required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of our open positions. At July 31, 2019,2020, and April 30, 2019,2020, we maintained cash margin account balances of $19.8$15.6 and $40.7,$43.2, respectively, included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the cash margin account balances is included in other – net, investing activities in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. In the event of default and immediate net settlement of all of our open positions with individual counterparties, all of our derivative liabilities would be fully offset by either our derivative asset positions or margin accounts based on the net asset or liability position with our individual counterparties.

Interest expense – net, as presented in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income was $49.4$46.1 and $53.6$49.4 for the three
months ended July 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. The following table presents information on the pre-tax gains and losses recognized on terminated interest rate contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges.

Note 11:9: Other Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments, other than derivatives, that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments, short-term borrowings, and trade receivables. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair value. Our remaining financial instruments, with the exception of long-term debt, are recognized at estimated fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table provides information on the carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions.

Long-term debt is composed of public Senior Notes classified as Level 1 and the Term Loan classified as Level 2. The public Senior Notes are traded in an active secondary market and valued using quoted prices. The fair value of the Term Loan is based on the net present value of each interest and principal payment calculated utilizing an interest rate derived from an estimated yield curve obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of term loan borrowing arrangements.

Note 10: Leases
We lease certain warehouses, manufacturing facilities, office space, equipment, and vehicles, primarily through operating lease agreements. We have elected to not recognize leases with a term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. Instead, we recognize the related lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Although the majority of our right-of-use asset and lease liability balances consist of leases with renewal options, these optional periods do not typically impact the lease term as we are not reasonably certain to exercise them, and, therefore, the optional periods do not impact the lease term.them. Certain leases also include termination provisions or options to purchase the leased property. Since we are not reasonably certain to exercise these types of options, minimum lease payments do not include any amounts related to these termination or purchase options. Our lease agreements generally do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants that are material.
13


Table of Contents
We determine if an agreement is or contains a lease at inception by evaluating whether an identified asset exists that we control over the term of the arrangement. A lease commences when the lessor makes the identified asset available for our use. We generally account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Minimum lease payments do not include variable lease payments other than those that depend on an index or rate.

For the majority of our leases, the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, so we utilize our incremental borrowing rate to present value lease payments using information available at the lease commencement date. We consider our credit rating and the current economic environment in determining this collateralized rate. For the initial implementation of the lease standard, the incremental borrowing rate at May 1, 2019, was used to calculate all operating lease liabilities.

As of July 31, 2019, we have entered into lease commitments related to two distribution centers for which the leases had not yet commenced as of that date. One of the leases will begin during the second quarter of 2020, and we anticipate that the other will begin during the third quarter of 2020. Upon commencement, we expect to recognize aggregate right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $40.0 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 13:11: Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, were 24.4 and 2018, were 25.2 and 23.2 percent, respectively. During the three months ended July 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the effective tax raterates varied from the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to the impact of state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2018, was favorably impacted by a deferred tax benefit from the Ainsworth acquisition.

Within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that we could decrease our unrecognized tax benefits by an additional $2.8,$2.6, primarily as a result of expiring statute of limitations periods.

As of July 31, 2019,2020, the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries remain permanently reinvested.
During 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was enacted, which included rollbacks of certain provision of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) . While these specific rollbacks did not impact us, future legislative actions in response to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) could further modify provisions of the Tax Act, and such changes will need to be analyzed for their respective impacts on our income taxes at that time.

Note 13: Contingencies
We, like other food manufacturers, are from time to time subject to various administrative, regulatory, and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are currently a defendant in a variety of such legal proceedings, including certain lawsuits related to the alleged price-fixing of shelf stable tuna products prior to 2011 by a business previously owned by, but divested prior to our acquisition of, Big Heart Pet Brands, the significant majority of which were settled and paid during the second half of 2019. While we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate results of these proceedings or potential settlements associated with these or other matters, we have accrued losses for certain contingent liabilities that we have determined are probable and reasonably estimable at July 31, 2019.2020. Based on the information known to date, with the exception of the matter discussed below, we do not believe the final outcome of these proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On May 9, 2011, an organization named Council for Education and Research on Toxics (“Plaintiff” or “CERT”) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against us and additional defendants who manufacture, package, distribute, or sell packaged coffee. The lawsuit is CERT v. Brad Barry LLC, et al., and was a tag along to a 2010 lawsuit against companies selling “ready-to-drink” coffee based on the same claims. Both cases have since been consolidated

and now include nearly eighty defendants, which constitute the great majority of the coffee industry in California. The Plaintiff alleges that we and the other defendants failed to provide warnings for our coffee products of exposure to the chemical acrylamide as required under California Health and Safety Code Section 25249.5, the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (better known as “Proposition 65”). The Plaintiff seeks equitable relief, including providing warnings to consumers of coffee products, as well as civil penalties in the amount of the statutory maximum of $2,500.00$2,500 per day per violation of Proposition 65. The Plaintiff asserts that every consumed cup of coffee, absent a compliant warning, is equivalent to a violation under Proposition 65.
As part of a joint defense group organized to defend against the lawsuit, we dispute the claims of the Plaintiff. Acrylamide is not added to coffee but is inherently present in all coffee in small amounts (measured in parts per billion) as a byproduct of the coffee bean roasting process. We have asserted multiple affirmative defenses. Trial of the first phase of the case commenced on

September 8, 2014, and was limited to three affirmative defenses shared by all defendants. On September 1, 2015, the trial court issued a final ruling adverse to the defendants on all Phase 1 defenses. Trial of the second phase of the case commenced in the fall of calendar year 2017. On March 28, 2018, the trial court issued a proposed ruling adverse to the defendants on the Phase 2 defense, our last remaining defense to liability. The trial court finalized and affirmed its Phase 2 ruling on May 7, 2018, and therefore, the trial onthird phase of the third phasetrial regarding remedies issues was scheduled to commence on October 15, 2018. The trial did not proceed on the scheduled date as further described below.

On June 15, 2018, the state agency responsible for administering the Proposition 65 program, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (“OEHHA”), issued a proposed regulation clarifying that cancer warnings are not required for coffee under Proposition 65. The California Court of Appeals granted the defendants’ requests to stay the trial on remedies until a final determination was made on OEHHA’s proposed regulation. TheDuring the interim period, the California Office of Administrative Law approved the proposed regulation on June 3, 2019, and the regulation will gowent into effect on October 1, 2019, which should result in2019. In response to CERT’s objection, the dismissal of this case. However, priordefendants amended their answer to raise the regulation as a complete defense to the approvalclaims. CERT unsuccessfully challenged the defendants’ right to assert the regulation as an affirmative defense but continues to challenge the validity of the proposed regulation,regulation. During the third quarter of 2020, CERT challengedfiled several motions seeking judgment in its favor as a matter of law, and the authoritydefendants also filed their own motion. On July 15, 2020, and August 10, 2020, seven of OEHHACERT’s motions were denied, and the remainder of the pending motions, including the defendants motion for summary judgement, were rescheduled for hearing on August 25, 2020, due to propose the regulation. Considering the regulation is final, we expect this challenge to continue. COVID-19.
At this stage of the proceedings, prior to and without knowing whether the regulation will stand as a defense or the trial on remedies issues will move forward in light of the challenge, we are unable to predict or reasonably estimate the potential loss or effect on our operations. Accordingly, no loss contingency has been recorded for this matter as of July 31, 2019,2020, as the likelihood of loss is not considered probable or estimable. The trial court has discretion to impose zero penalties against us or to impose significant statutory penalties if the case proceeds. Significant labeling or warning requirements that could potentially be imposed by the trial court may increase our costs and adversely affect sales of our coffee products, as well as involve substantial expense and operational disruption, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Furthermore, a future appellate court decision could reverse the earlier trial court rulings.rulings should the regulation be held invalid. The outcome and the financial impact of settlement, the trial, or the appellate court rulings of the case, if any, cannot be predicted at this time.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(Dollars and shares in millions, unless otherwise noted, except per share data)
This discussion and analysis deals with comparisons of material changes in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended July 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019. All comparisons presented are to the corresponding period of the prior year, unless otherwise noted.
On May 14, 2018, we acquired the stock of Ainsworth in an all-cash transaction, which was funded by debt and valued at $1.9 billion. Ainsworth was a leading producer, distributor, and marketer of premium pet food and pet snacks, predominantly within the U.S. Annual cost synergies of approximately $55.0 are expected to be fully realized by the end of 2021, most of which will be achieved by the end of 2020. As of July 31, 2019, we have realized total cumulative synergies of $37.5.

On August 31, 2018, we sold our U.S. baking business to Brynwood Partners VII L.P. and Brynwood Partners VIII L.P., subsidiaries of Brynwood Partners, an unrelated party. The transaction included products that were primarily sold in U.S. retail channels under the Pillsbury, Martha White, Hungry Jack, White Lily,and Jim Dandy brands, along with all relevant trademarks and licensing agreements, and our manufacturing facility in Toledo, Ohio. This business generated net sales of approximately $370.0 in 2018, primarily in the U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment. The transaction did not include our baking business in Canada.

COVID-19
The continued spread of COVID-19 throughout the United States and the international community has had, and will continue to have, an impact on financial markets, economic conditions, and portions of our business and industry.

During the first quarter of 2021, many state governments began a phased reopening of their economies. These phased approaches include limited foodservice offerings, outdoor dining, travel, and the reopening of certain retail establishments, among others, while adhering to new guidelines and enhanced safety measures, such as physical distancing and face mask protocols. However, certain states have delayed or reversed plans to reopen their economies as new cases of COVID-19 and related illnesses continue to rise. In general, consumers continue to stay at home as a precaution due to the sustained increase in new cases, and as a result, at-home food consumption and consumer demand remains high.

In June, we commenced a phased approach to reopen our corporate headquarters in Orrville, Ohio, with increased safety protocols. However, occupancy levels remain low as the majority of our office-based employees continue to work remotely where possible, and we continue to monitor the latest public health and government guidance related to COVID-19. We have crisis management teams in place at all of our facilities, which are monitoring the continually evolving situation and implementing risk mitigation actions as necessary. To date, there has been minimal disruption in our supply chain network, including the supply of our ingredients, packaging, or other sourced materials, although it is possible that more significant disruptions could occur if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact markets around the world. We also continue to work closely with our customers and external business partners, taking additional actions to ensure safety and business continuity and maximize product availability. We have increased production at all of our facilities and expanded the availability of appointments at distribution centers. All of our production operations remain open and none have experienced significant disruptions or labor reductions related to COVID-19. Furthermore, we have implemented measures to allocate order volumes to ensure a consistent supply across our retail partners during this period of high demand.

We continued to experience an increase in orders during the first quarter of 2021, primarily across our U.S. Retail Coffee and U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segments, in response to the increased consumer demand for our products related to the elevated at-home consumption. The continued increase in consumer demand may slow in the coming months as consumer purchasing behavior may change as a result of the length and severity of the pandemic, duration of physical distancing requirements, stay-at-home orders, and macroeconomic implications. However, during the first quarter of 2021, consumer demand and customer orders for the U.S. Retail Coffee and U.S Retail Consumer Foods segments remain elevated compared to historical comparison periods. We have also experienced a decline in products sold in the away from home channels as a result of COVID-19, which has negatively impacted our net sales in our Away From Home operating segment, and we expect COVID-19 to continue to adversely affect our net sales while government restrictions and physical distancing measures are in place. However, as certain states have begun to reopen their economies, our net sales for the away from home channels has improved compared to the initial months of the pandemic and relative to our initial expectations. The impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain and ultimately will be dictated by the length and severity of the pandemic; the federal, state, and local government actions taken in response; and the macroeconomic environment. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business, consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

(A)Net sales excluding acquisition, divestiture, and foreign currency exchange is a non-GAAP financial measure used to evaluate performance internally. This measure provides useful information because it enables comparison of results on a year-over-year basis.
Net sales in the first quarterthree months of 2020 decreased $123.6,2021 increased $192.9, or 611 percent, reflecting $73.1driven by favorable volume/mix across all of net sales in the prior year related toour retail businesses, supported by increased at-home consumption for the U.S. bakingRetail Coffee and U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segments. The retail business whichgrowth was divested during the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by incremental net sales in the current year of $25.4 related to the Ainsworth acquisition. Net sales excluding acquisition, divestiture, and foreign currency exchange decreased $74.1, or 4 percent. This reflected a 3 percentage point impact from unfavorable volume/mix primarily driven by declines for private label pet food offerings and coffee. Lower net price realization impacted net sales bythe Away From Home operating segment.

Net interest expense decreased $4.2,$3.3, or 87 percent, in the first quarter of 2020,2021, primarily as a result of a decrease in interest rates and reduced debt outstanding, as compared to the prior year, duepartially offset by interest expense related to repayments made duringinterest rate contracts terminated in the last twelve months.fourth quarter of 2020.
Income Taxes

Income taxes increased 30$24.5, or 47 percent, in the first quarter of 2020,2021, due to the increase in income before income taxes and partially offset by a higherlower effective tax rate of 25.224.4 percent, compared to 23.225.2 percent infor the first quarter of 2019.2020. During both the current year and the prior year,years, the effective tax raterates varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0 percent, primarily due to the impact of state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the prior year was favorably impacted by a deferred tax benefit from the Ainsworth acquisition. We anticipate a full-year effective tax rate for 2020 in the range2021 of 24.5 to 25.0approximately 24.0 percent. For further information, refer to Note 11: Income Taxes.

Integration Activities
We expect to incur approximately $50.0 in total integration costs related to the Ainsworth acquisition, the majority of which are expected to be cash charges. Of the total anticipated integration costs, we expect approximately half to be employee-related. We have incurred total cumulative integration costs of $35.4, of which $3.3 was incurred in the first quarter of 2020. All remaining integration costs are expected to be incurred by the end of 2020.

The $21.5 decrease$187.5 increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 20202021 was primarily driven by a greater amount of cash required to fundlower working capital requirements in 2020, partially offset by2021, as well as higher net income adjusted for noncash items in the current year. The increasedecrease in cash required to fund working capital, requirements, as compared to the prior year, was mainly driven by higherprimarily attributable to lower payments for accounts payable items and an increase in inventory levels. These increases were partially offsetdriven by working capital initiatives, inclusive of a supplier financing program entered into during the second half of 2020, as well as a reduction in trade receivables this quarter, due to lowerthe timing of sales while trade receivables increased during the first quarter of 2019.and payments.

Supplier Financing Program

As part of ongoing efforts to maximize working capital, we work with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, which includes the extension of payment terms. Payment terms with our suppliers, which we deem to be commercially reasonable, generally range from 0 to 180 days. During the second half of 2020, we entered into an agreement with a third-party administrator to provide an accounts payable tracking system and facilitate a supplier financing program which allows participating suppliers the ability to monitor and voluntarily elect to sell our payment obligations to a designated third-party financial institution. Participating suppliers can sell one or more of our payment obligations at their sole discretion, and our rights and obligations to our suppliers are not impacted. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by financing activities inour suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements. As of July 31, 2020, $192.3 of our outstanding payment obligations were elected and sold to a financial institution by participating suppliers.

Contingencies

We, like other food manufacturers, are from time to time subject to various administrative, regulatory, and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are currently a defendant in a variety of such legal proceedings, including certain lawsuits related to the alleged price-fixing of shelf stable tuna products prior to 2011 by a business previously owned by, but divested prior to our acquisition of, Big Heart Pet Brands, the significant majority of which were settled and paid

during the second half of 2019. While we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate results of these proceedings or potential settlements associated with these or other matters, we have accrued losses for certain contingent liabilities that we have determined are probable and reasonably estimable at July 31, 2019.2020. Based on the information known to date, with the exception of the matter discussed below, we do not believe the final outcome of these proceedings wouldwill have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In addition to the legal proceedings discussed above, we are currently a defendant in CERT v. Brad Barry LLC, et al., which alleges that we, in addition to nearly eighty other defendants who manufacture, package, distribute, or sell coffee, failed to provide warnings for our coffee products of exposure to the chemical acrylamide as required under Proposition 65. As part of a joint defense group organized to defend against the lawsuit, we dispute these claims. Acrylamide is not added to coffee, but is inherently present in all coffee in small amounts (measured in parts per billion) as a byproduct of the coffee bean roasting process. The outcome and the financial impact of the case, if any, cannot be predicted at this time. Accordingly, no loss contingency has been recorded for this matter as of July 31, 2019,2020, as the likelihood of loss is not considered probable or estimable. However, if we are required to pay significant statutory penalties or to add warning labels to any of our products or place warnings in certain locations where our products are sold as a result of Proposition 65, our business and financial results could be adversely impacted, and sales of those products could suffer not only in those locations but elsewhere. For additional information, see Note 15: Contingencies.13: Contingencies.

In April 2018, we entered into a Term Loan with a syndicate of banks and an available commitment amount of $1.5 billion. The full amount of the Term Loan was drawn on May 14, 2018, to partially finance the Ainsworth acquisition. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest on the prevailing U.S. Prime Rate or LIBOR, based on our election, and areis payable either on a quarterly basis or at the end of the borrowing term. The Term Loan matures on May 14, 2021, and does not require scheduled amortization payments. Voluntary prepayments are permitted without premium or penalty. As of July 31, 2019,2020, we have prepaid $700.0$1.1 billion on the Term Loan to date.date, including $300.0 in the first quarter of 2021. The interest rate on the Term Loan at July 31, 2019,2020, was 3.400.97 percent.
We have available a $1.8 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 11 banks that matures in September 2022. Additionally, we participate in a commercial paper program under which we can issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper not to exceed $1.8 billion at any time. The commercial paper program is backed by our revolving credit facility and reduces what we can borrow under the revolving credit facility by the amount of commercial paper outstanding. Commercial paper will be used as a continuing source of short-term financing for general corporate purposes. As of July 31, 2019,2020, we had $295.9$296.0 of short-term borrowings outstanding, all of which were issued under our commercial paper program, at a weighted-average interest rate of 2.560.25 percent.
We are in compliance with all of our debt covenants. For additional information on our long-term debt, sources of liquidity, and debt covenants, see Note 8:6: Debt and Financing Arrangements.Arrangements.
During the first quarter of 2020,2021, we did not repurchase any common shares under a repurchase plan authorized by the Board. At July 31, 2019,2020, approximately 3.6 million common shares remain available for repurchase pursuant to the Board'sBoard’s authorizations. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that may be repurchased or when such purchases may occur.
Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations, borrowings available under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility, and access to capital markets, will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months, including capital expenditures, the payment of quarterly dividends, principal and interest payments on debt outstanding, and share repurchases.capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial measures, including: net sales excluding acquisition, divestiture, and foreign currency exchange; adjusted gross profit;profit, adjusted operating income;income, adjusted income;income, adjusted earnings per share;share, and free cash flow, as key measures for purposes of evaluating performance internally. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in preparation of the annual budget and for the monthly analyses of our operating results. The Board also utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures as components for measuring performance for incentive compensation purposes.

Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items affecting comparability that can significantly affect the year-over-year assessment of operating results, which include amortization expense and impairment charges related to intangible assets, integration and restructuring costs (“special project costs”), and unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange

24



derivatives (“unallocated derivative gains and losses”), as well as the related tax impactimpacts of these exclusions. The special project costs in the following table relate to specific integration and restructuring projects, and the unallocated derivative gains and losses reflect the changes in fair value of our commodity and foreign currency exchange contracts. Additionally, income taxes, as adjusted is calculated using an adjusted effective income tax rate that is applied to adjusted income before income taxes. While this adjusted effective income tax rate does not generally differ materially from our GAAP effective income tax rate, certain itemsexclusions from non-GAAP results can significantly impact our adjusted effective income tax rate.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Rather, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics we use to internally evaluate our businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present operations and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and may exclude certain nondiscretionary expenses and cash payments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
The following discussions about our market risk disclosures involve forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices.
Interest Rate Risk: The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents at July 31, 2019,2020, approximates carrying value. We are exposed to interest rate risk with regard to existing debt consisting of fixed- and variable-rate maturities. Our interest rate exposure primarily includes U.S. Treasury rates, LIBOR, and commercial paper rates in the U.S. The Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom has stated that it will not require banks to submit LIBOR beyond 2021. We do not anticipate a significant impact to our financial position as a result of this action given our current mix of variablevariable- and fixed-rate debt.
We utilize derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with anticipated debt transactions, as well as to manage changes in the fair value of our long-term debt. At the inception of an interest rate contract, the instrument is evaluated and documented for qualifying hedge accounting treatment. If the contract is designated as a cash flow hedge, the mark-to-market gains or losses on the contract are deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If the contract is designated as a fair value hedge, the contract is recognized at fair value on the balance sheet, and changes in the fair value are recognized in interest expense. Generally, changes in the fair value of the contract are equal to changes in the fair value of the underlying debt and have no net impact on earnings.
We entered intoIn 2020, we terminated interest rate contracts in November 2018concurrent with the pricing of the Senior Notes due March 15, 2030, and June 2018, with notional values of $300.0March 15, 2050. They were designated as cash flow hedges and $500.0, respectively,were used to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility associated with the anticipated debt financingfinancing. The termination resulted in 2020. These interest rate contracts are designated as cash flow hedges,a pre-tax loss of $239.8, which was deferred and included as a result, unrealized lossescomponent of $102.1 were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at July 31, 2019. A hypothetical 10 percent decrease in treasury rates at July 31, 2019, would result in a lossand is being amortized as interest expense over the life of $24.8 on the fair value of these interest rate contracts.debt.
In 2015, we terminated the interest rate swap on the Senior Notes due October 15, 2021, which was designated as a fair value hedge and used to hedge against the changes in the fair value of the debt. As a result of the early termination, we received $58.1 in cash, which included $4.6 of accrued and prepaid interest and a $53.5 benefit that is deferred as a component of the carrying value of the long-term debt and is being recognized ratably as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining life of the related debt. At July 31, 2019,2020, the remaining benefit of $18.5$10.2 was recorded as an increase in the long-term debt balance.
In measuring interest rate risk by the amount of net change in the fair value of our financial liabilities, a hypothetical 100 basis-point decrease in interest rates at July 31, 2019,2020, would increase the fair value of our long-term debt by $373.4.$448.9.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk: We have operations outside the U.S. with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily denominated in Canadian currency. Because we have foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, financial exposure may result, primarily from the timing of transactions and the movement of exchange rates. The foreign currency balance sheet exposures as of July 31, 2019,2020, are not expected to result in a significant impact on future earnings or cash flows.
25


We utilize foreign currency derivatives to manage the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on future cash payments in Canada, primarily related to purchases of certain raw materials and finished goods. The contracts generally have maturities of less than one year. We do not qualify instruments used to manage foreign currency exchange exposures for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, the change in value of these instruments is immediately recognized in cost of products sold. Based on our hedged foreign currency positions as of July 31, 2019,2020, a hypothetical 10 percent change in exchange rates would not materially impact the fair value.
Revenues from customers outside the U.S., subject to foreign currency exchange, represented 5 percent of net sales during the three months ended July 31, 2019.2020. Thus, certain revenues and expenses have been, and are expected to be, subject to the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, and these fluctuations may have an impact on operating results.
Commodity Price Risk: We use certain raw materials and other commodities that are subject to price volatility caused by supply and demand conditions, political and economic variables, weather, investor speculation, and other unpredictable factors. To manage the volatility related to anticipated commodity purchases, we use derivatives with maturities of generally less than

26



one year. We do not qualify commodity derivatives for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, the gains and losses on all commodity derivatives are immediately recognized in cost of products sold.
The following sensitivity analysis presents our potential loss of fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent change in market prices related to commodities.

The estimated fair value was determined using quoted market prices and was based on our net derivative position by commodity for the previous four quarters. The calculations are not intended to represent actual losses in fair value that we expect to incur. In practice, as markets move, we actively manage our risk and adjust hedging strategies as appropriate. The commodities hedged have a high inverse correlation to price changes of the derivative instrument; thus,instrument. Thus, we would expect that over time any gain or loss in the estimated fair value of its derivatives would generally be offset by an increase or decrease in the estimated fair value of the underlying exposures.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of July 31, 20192020 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls. During the quarter ended July 31, 2019, we began using a new integrated software solution to plan, authorize, and record trade promotion-related activities, as well as initiate payments associated with our trade programs. Additionally, in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as described in Note 2: Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Note 12: Leases, we implemented a new software solution that is used to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and prepare disclosures related to the new standard. As a result of the implementation of these systems, new controls and processes were executed during the quarter.
Other than the items discussed above, there wereThere have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterthree months ended July 31, 2019,2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
